Online seminar "Strain Gradient Plasticity based on saturating internal variables” by Samuel Forest

On Tuesday 24th October at 3:00 pm (Italian time) Samuel Forest will offer the seminar “Strain gradient plasticity based on saturating internal variables” at the Department of Civil, Environmental, Architectural Engineering and Mathematics of the University of Brescia (Italy). Here attached please find the abstract of the seminar. 

Anyone may directly join online through Google Meet at

PhD position at the University of Pittsburgh

One PhD position is available at the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the effects of plasticity (i.e. irreversible deformation) on the mechanics of tubes. The research is supported by the National Science Foundation. During their PhD, the student will develop expertise in experimental mechanics, finite element method, polymer science, and composites. Candidates must have an undergraduate or M.S. degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Bio Engineering, and a strong background in mechanics.

How is this multiaxial relationship derived in this paper?

How did one arrive at the red-underlined part in the equation (2) from differentiating equation (1)? Please see the picture:

Dynamic Martensitic Phase Transformation in Single-crystal Silver Microcubes

The ability to transform the crystal structure of metals in the solid-state enables tailoring their physical, mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties in unprecedented ways. We demonstrate a martensitic phase transformation from a face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure to a hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) structure that occurs in nanosecond timescale in initially near-defect-free single-crystal silver (Ag) microcubes impacted at supersonic velocities.

PhD Position in Nanocrystalline Alloys at the University of Vermont (USA)

A new PhD position is available immediately in my group in the area of computational atomistic modeling of grain-boundary segregation and plasticity mechanisms in nanocrystalline alloys. Full description available in the attached file.

Mode I crack tip fields: strain gradient plasticity theory versus J2 flow theory

I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show, analytically and numerically, that strain gradient plasticity predicts the existence of an inner elastic field adjacent to the crack tip, reminiscent of a dislocation-free zone. The fact that elastic strains dominate plastic strains near the crack tip implies a paradigm-shift with respect to previous crack tip asymptotic studies in plasticity and gradient plasticity, which neglect elastic strains.

Steady-state fracture toughness of elastic-plastic solids: Isotropic versus kinematic hardening

I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show that kinematic hardening effects play a significant role in monotonic/static fracture.

Full time position with ANSYS Inc (Houston, TX)

ANSYS, Inc. has an immediate job opening in Houston, TX for Application Engineer.  This is a full time position.

The job entails providing advanced technical guidance on various aspects of computational Structural Mechanics to clients in industry.

cohesive zone element

Are there any papers/documents on one dimensional bar problem with a cohesive zone element formulation? It should be a zero length non-linear spring in this case right? I am more interested in setting up the problem from the virtual work principles rather than a discussion of the results.

Thanks
