Dear friends:
I’d like to bring to your attention three recently published books that I have read. The following are a few words about each book in the order that I read them.
1) “Vito Volterra” by A. Guerraggio and G. Paoloni

We are happy to announce an individual scholarship opportunities for international students for studying in International Master Degree Programme Advanced Dynamics of Discrete and Continuum Systems http://imechanica.org/node/16800 of Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University.
What is the importance of strain rate on structural response under blast load?
This and other issues are discussed in the recent paper from Stochino F. and Carta G.:
“SDOF models for reinforced concrete beams under impulsive loads accounting for strain rate effects”, DOI: 10.1016/j.nucengdes.2014.05.022, Nuclear Engineering and Design 276, (2014), 74-86.

Dear all,
I am trying to formulate the return mapping algorithm with Hill48 yield condition, isotropic hardening law and flow rule referenced to Simo & Hughes (Computational Inelasticity).
In section 2.2.2.1, equation (2.2.9) expresses the Kuhn-Tucker complementarity conditions:
In addition to conditions (2.2.9), satisfies the consistency requirement:
