This VIDEO  gives a  very intuitive explanation of stress concentration  with an analogy and an experimental demonstration.

Dear colleagues,

on behalf of the organizers, I would like to bring to your attention the training course for Ph.D. students, engineers, and researchers interested in acquiring the working knowledge of OOFEM, an open-source object-oriented finite element package that has been developed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague for more than twenty years.

Dear colleagues,

CEMEF, a research Center of Mines Paristech, is offering a Post Master degree in Digital Materials and Advanced Processes Modeling.

This training program - delivered in English - is open to students holding a master degree in mechanics and/or in computational engineering.

The main goal of this program is to provide students with additional training to deal with the new numerical challenges faced in the manufacturing industry.

This video explains the concept of principal stresses using an experiment 

A one-week CISM Advanced School on "Mechanics of strain gradient materials", coordinated by Albrecht Bertram and Samuel Forest, will take place in Udine, Italy, next May 14th-18th.

This video  contains an experimental demonstration of a simple bending and torsion and further speculate the nature of stresses induced by the respective loading scenarios

Summer School on "Biomechanics, from Protein to Tissue to Organ: Modeling and Computation" in Graz, Austria

This video gives a basic introduction to von mises stress, which is widely used in the structural analysis & design.

The 6th edition of the intensive course on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) will take place on 11-15 Jne 2018 à Drexel University in Philadelphia, USA. The course is composed of a number of lectures, data processing sessions and labs. The number of participants is limited to 20 for maximal interaction with the teaching team. More information here.
