Gentles

We have installed new gas compressors solar titan 130 turbines
driven. Unfortunately, we have problem of primary vent suction pressure for dry
gas seal (John Crane) Hi Hi.

Our operating parameters are:

Compressor suction pressure: 60 bar.

Compressor suction temperature: 40C.

Compressor discharge pressure: 80 bar.

Compressor discharge temperature: 60C.

Gas Cooler Set Point: 60C.

Compressor suction flow: 10.5 mmscmd.

NPT: 65%.           

Please support "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" at Stack Exchange

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Hello everyone,

I've proposed a new Stack Exchange site called "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" for people intersted in mechaics related issues.  The current link is  http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/67726/theoretical-and-applied-mechanics?referrer=73mdEQ3M_DdhwHImwznaBQ2

For the proposal to be accepted to go to the next stage the site will need the  following:

Hencky's hyperelastic material model.

Submitted by marcin.wojciechowski on

Hello,

I am working on my master's thesis. I have to find best fitting hyperelastic material model for simple shear test.

My task is to find most proper material model which will fit my laboratory test data. I have conducted the "single lap test" on bricks, using polymer PS.

Hi all,

 I want to write a matlab based code that will be able to describe material behaviour under uniaxial loading. So what I am interested in is the plasticity of a material. I want the code to be able to represent material behaviour after yielding and also cyclic loading.

Liping Liu is the recepient of the 2013 Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2013 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University).
