Does anyone know of a simple book, approximately 50 pages or so, for plasticity?. I am looking for something that is similar to Morton Gurtin's "Topics in Finite Elasticty" published by SIAM. This book is an uncluttered treatment of finite deformation elasticity and was very useful for me during graduate work. I am NOT looking for 200-300 page texts, becasue I will never get around to reading them.

Rob Wood teaches a course on micro/nano robotics, and asks me to give a 30-minute tutorial on the theory of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). I attach my slides, which might be useful to you if you'd like to include this topic in your class. The tutorial draws upon work in the literature, as well as recent work in my group:

This letter is to call your attention to an opportunity to broaden participation particularly of underrepresented students in Ph.D. programs in engineering through supplements to current research grants funded by the divisions in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) at the National Science Foundation.
hi,
i m vijay doing M.TECH in aerospace, i m doing project in the area of fracture mechanics using Ansys, so i need to find Energy release release rate for 3D plate (composite plate having cracks on thikness). i want material related to this, can anyone plz send the material.
thanks in advance
I am final year student , doing my project on "hot deep drwing on non-ferrous materials" and doing simulation on abaqus . I need a tutorial ,,,,,,,,,,,please some one help
I am trying to calculate K values for a double tip crack orientated at 45 deg in a rectangular plate in ansys.I am stuck with a strange problem. When i give the Kcal command it says the crack face is not parallel to the active x axis. But i have checked the cordinates of the keypoints that i have used to create the crack. The crack is perfectly symetric about the active cordinate system about the crack tip.Can somebody help me please.
Dear all,
For my final year project, I've done the 3D model of a test fixture which is used for the compression testing of a specimen.
When I apply a downward vertical displacement to top Slider B, eventually the 2-slider linkage mechanism will cause the bottom Slider A to move horizontally and to compress the cube shaped specimen.

I use the abaqus present , how can apply a tightening torque between an implant (screw) and the bone with abaqus......... thank you
I am PhD student and i'm working on the behavior of bonded joints under impact and i have one question :What are the differences between a cohesive element, an interface element and a embedded process zone element ? Do they have fundamental differences or it's only a difference of the cohesive law expression.
