Constitutive theory for gels by considering molecular frictions

Submitted by bin.chen on

By directly considering molecular frictions induced on polymer chains, we have developed a nonaffine constitutive theory for large stretch behaviors of gels.

Dear Colleagues,

we would like to draw your attention to the minisymposium entitled 'MS 13: Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures', which we are organizing as part of the EMI 2015 Conference (Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference) to be held in Stanford, United States, June 16-19 2015.

Finite Element Modelling of Soft Matter

Submitted by Chris Szalwinski on

I'm interested in developing finite element software for soft matter configurations.  Is there any open source FE software already developed for such materials?  My purpose is to research and develop algorithms that use GPU technology for modelling complex materials on a desktop
