Michael Ortiz will receive the 2015 Timoshenko Medal. He will give the speech of acceptance at the Annual Applied Mechanics Banquet, on Tuesday, 17 November 2015, in Houston, at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition.
Come to the Congress to congratulate Professor Michael Ortiz in person.
The deadline for submitting an abstract to the Congress is 2 March 2015.
In our recent paper, we examined the energy conservation for the current schemes of applying active deformation in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Specifically, two methods are examined. One is scaling the dimension of the simulation box and the atom positions via an affine transformation, suitable for the periodic system. The other is moving the rigid walls that interact with the atoms in the system, suitable for the non-periodic system.
Hi every one
I try to analysis my Model at Abaqus. I want to use continume shell model to create the composite layer. The model shape is so complex and I can not use Hex meshing. Abaqus just meshing the model as Tetra element. And my problem is abaqus do not accept tetra az composite layer at element type. I try to daturm the model very smal part until may be can define hex element but its not work. There is any way I can use tetra meshing for continume shell.
Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to the following minsiymposium on multiscale modeling of fracture in quasibrittle solids that will be taking place as part of USNCCM 13 to be held at San Diego [July 26-30]. For those who are interested in submitting an abstract, the deadline is Feb 15th. Please feel free to pass this announcemnts to your colleagues or students whom you think may be interested. We are looking forward to seeing you there either in the audience or giving a talk!
Best Wishes,

Curvature-induced symmetry breaking determines elastic surface patterns
Dr. Emrah Celik is looking for a PhD student with mechanical engineering background (or a related field) who will apply nanotechnology on bio-medical applications. The student will design the mechanical characterization systems, develop computer programs, perform atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements and analyze data. The ideal candidate will have previous experience or motivation to learn nano-microfabrication, laboratory measurements and finite element analysis. Programming, design and machining experiences are also plus for this position.
G. Ravichandran, J.N. Reddy, and David Srolovitz are among the newly elected members of the US Academy of Engineering.
Hi, I am doing project on mixed mode crack growth of semi elliptical crack in gas turbine components under cyclic loading. Ansys has capability for finding J,K using CINT command. But, In mixed mode crack growth, i dont know how to deal with nodes and how to create random crack with new node coordinates obtained from previous steps. If you have any ansys code related to creating crack and finding fracture parameters like K, J (mode 1 or mixed mode), Can you please give me the code.
Thanks
(I cant use any other software, only Ansys)
