Hi, i'm using abaqus 6.11
i am going to link matlab with abaqus using python scripting to perform an iterative analysis
the problem is that i get the error "ImportError: No module named Numeric"
please help me how to solve this problem
thanks
Dear Colleagues,
Penn State University Mechanical Engineering is accepting applications for five tenure track faculty positions. Please see the website for details

For the emerging areas - we are looking at themes such as additive manufacturing, metamaterials, 2D materials, data driven modeling, extreme environment mechanics or a fusion of these.
Starting a new journal is risky. Starting a new journal in mechanics is particularly risky. The responses to the two recent posts are encouraging, however.
Within two weeks since the first post, the combined reads of the two entries have passed 20,000.
Hi;
I'm a civil & structural engineer, I got recently my Magister degree in civil engineering. I worked on the numerical modeing of concrete fracture of reiforced concrete elements reinforced with FRP bars. I've used ADINA software in my numerical study (smeared crack model). Now I'm looking for a PhD scholarship to complete my research either in concrete fracture modeling or in the composite materials, please I need your help?. Many thanks
Hello All -
I am soliciting advice for how to continue to keep mechanics skills sharp while in a more business/leadership role.
Please advise on techniques you have used or suggestions for ways to stay current.
Thank you for your input and for your continued development of this discipline.
Regards,
Luke Porisch
p.s. - if you were Harvard DEAS from 2003-05 please send me a note!
For those of you preparing to teach a course on Lagrangian Mechanics of Rigid Bodies in the forthcoming semester or quarter, you may be interested to read a new expository paper by Arun Srinivasa at Texas A&M and myself:

Hello Everyone,
I try to plot the butterfly curve for piezoelectric material (strain vs. electric field for different applied stress values). Butterfly curve shows the nonlinear response of the piezoelectric material which is a hysteretic response.
I just want to ask you guys if anybody knows a good way to plot butterfly curve for 1-3 piezoelectric materials in matlab????
The TMS Young Professionals Committee is organizing a "Meet the Candidate Poster Session" in conjunction with the general poster session of TMS 2015. This event is designed to create networking opportunities for young professionals and hopefully help them discover prospects for future employment.
The Meet the Candidate Poster Session will provide the opportunity for
Hi everybody!
I am doing a large parametric study of a composite shaft. I am working with 5 variables and the number of simulations and data will be quite big.
I would like to gather results automatically on a circumferential path around the shaft. (About 60 elements)
Is it possible to do it with a "gather" command - I think that only one node/integration point can be defined at "gather" command.
Has anyone already done something like that and how did you solve the problem.
As advanced energy materials with higher conversion efficiencies, enhanced storage capacities, and better reliabilities are being developed to meet the ever-increasing global energy needs, mechanics has emerged as one of the key factors that affect the performance of energy systems. In thermoelectric energy conversion for waste heat recovery, thermal stress is a big concern for reliabilities, and the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic materials is similarly affected by strain and mechanical defects.
