Elastomers are among the most familiar and most deceptive solids. They stretch enormously, recover their shape, and appear forgiving in a way that glass or ceramic never would. Yet they are held together by covalent bonds whose intrinsic strength is measured in GPa. The macroscopic strength of rubber-like networks, however, is usually only in the MPa range. How does a material made of very strong bonds become so weak?

To students and junior researchers,

Together with Stephane Bordas (Luxembourg University) and Alban de Vaucorbeil (Deakin University, Australia), we have assembled a PDF (https://imechanica.org/files/how-to-write-paper_29_Nov_2021.pdf) outlining our our approach to writing articles on the field of computational mechanics. Also discussed are softwares used. We hope that it will be of help to students and junior researchers.

Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Liping Liu on "A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method" to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Two new papers grabbed my attention on my long unread list of journal tables of contents in Google Reader. 

1) The first was

A very recent paper published a few minutes ago in Nature addresses the issue of friction laws at the nanoscale. Here is the abstract of the paper.Interested? here you can download the paper.
