It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched last year, 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. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

hello , in paper :An object-Oriented approach to the xfem with Appications to fracture mechanics, in page172, the matlab code :mshmlab.m.

when i run the code mshmlab.m , this problem occured:

 ???Maxmium recursion limit of 500 reached, when i set(0,'recursionlimit',N).N=5000. the matlab crashed,

how to address this issue?

Change of basis for deviatoric second order tensors

Submitted by sykledust on

tensor analysis

Dear mechanicians

 

I remember reading somewhere that someone had a proof of the following:

Given a deviatoric/traceless second order tensor it is possible to find a basis for which all the normal/direct components equal zero.

For 2d this is easy: a basis rotated 45deg wrt. the eigenbasis.

The proof concerned 3d and it may have been Gurtin that had it in one of his books (sometihng tells me "The Linear Theory of Elasticity" (1972) as I don't have access to this one), but I'm not certain.

 

Thermomechanical coupled simulation

temperature
Initial conditions

Hi all,

 

I am trying to input a termperature field as initial conditions in

abaqus, to use the temperature distribution from a previous temperature

simulation in an mechanical simulation. But when I check the Temperature

values in the mechanical simulation i get great differences between the

nodal values (NT) and the element values (TEMP).

Does anybody know the reason of this problem?

 

Can it be related to the element typ? So the TEMP values are the avereged values from NT?
