If you are working on FEM for hyperelastic materials, then you might be interested in our new paper.
Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge, with the student being supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez Pañeda (main supervisor), Prof Catherine O'Sullivan (Imperial College) and Prof Norman Fleck FRS FREng (University of Cambridge).
The project aims at developing new theoretical and computational micromechanics-based models for rocks and porous media. More details of the project are given here:
I hope some of you will find our recent paper in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids interesting.

A fully funded PhD Position in mechanical engineering is available at Polytechnique Montreal in Canada to automate the peen forming of aircraft wing skins.
Peen forming automation through in-process 3D shape measurement
Dear All,
I'm trying to get strains in some specific points (along a path) from the xy-Cartesian coordinate system to a local x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system rotated through an angle (theta) which means transform the strains (Ex,Ey) to (Ex',Ey') as described in the attached figure, something I usually do manually with Mohr's circle and I wonder if I can do it directly with Abaqus ?
Thank you in advance !
Regards.
Mohammed.
