Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Computational Mechanics - The George Wasgington University

Submitted by manzari on

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the George Washington University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor starting fall semester 2015. The primary field of interest is mechanics of geomechanical and structural systems. Applications from women and under-represented minority groups are strongly encouraged. 

Micromechanical Study of the Interface Properties in Concrete Repair Systems

Hi all,

We've recently published a paper on

Micromechanical Study of the Interface Properties in Concrete Repair Systems

It deals with nanoindentation and numerical simulation of the interface zone in concrete repair systems.

Greetings

Strain hardening

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity.  I will update new posts on my twitter account:  https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo.  Rheology is the science of deformation. This science poses a question for every material: given a history of stress, how do we find the history of strain?

Hybrid and hierarchical nanoreinforced polymer composites

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

Hybrid and hierarchical polymer composites represent a promising group of materials for engineering applications. In this paper, computational studies of the strength and damage resistance of hybrid and hierarchical composites are reviewed. The reserves of the composite improvement are explored by using computational micromechanical models. It is shown that while glass/carbon fibers hybrid composites

Graphene reinforced polymer composites: 3D micromechanical modelling, damage and fracture

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

3D computational model of graphene reinforced polymer composites is developed and applied to the analysis of damage and fracture mechanisms in the composites. The graphene/polymer interface properties are determined using the inverse modeling approach. The effect of composite structure, in particular, of the aspect ratio, shape, clustering, orientation and volume fraction of graphene platelets on the
mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of nanocomposites are studied in computational experiments.
