Professor Yonggang Huang receives 2013 ASME Daniel C. Drucker Medal

Submitted by Hanqing Jiang on
Congradulations to Professor Yonggang Huang to receive 2013 ASME Daniel C. Drucker Medal for his "fundamental and applied contributions to mechanics of materials and structures across multiple scales." The Daniel C. Drucker medal was established in 1997 and is conferred in recognition of distinguished contributions to the field of applied mechanics and mechanical engineering through research, teaching and service to the community over a substantial period of time. 

Here is a list of DANIEL C. DRUCKER MEDALISTS

sad news for mechanician. Departure of HD Bui, member of french academy of science

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

Unfortunately, HD Bui, 76, passed away yesterday evening. An elegant, dedicated, very discreet but bright mind, HD Bui made a long career at Ecole Polytechnique and EDF, making important contributions in fracture mechanics and inverse engineering.  Lately, he returned to work on his interesting contributions on the Cheops pyramid and the spiralling internal structure.

He was considered the most prominent vietnamese scientist in France, of 400 000 living there.

Dear Marc specialist users Colleague:



I am developing an user material subroutine (HYPELA2) in Msc Marc (Marc Mentat2012.1.0, Windows platform, 64bit).

I am trying to make a write inside in Hypela2.f routine, but it doesn't work.

I have used the file number unit 6, for example,  write(6,*) ' Hello' , but

no any results in the standard output file. Otherwise, the Hypela2 works properly.

Does anyone have any suggestions how can I write out any data from Hypela2.f?

Thanks.

6 CDs in cell mechanics(mechanobiology)

Submitted by Tian Zhi Luo on

There are six distinguished biophysicist in cell mechanics field (their research interests cover much broader areas) and the abbreviations of their first names are either C or D. They are Dr. David Weitz (Harvard U.), Dr. Christopher Chen (U. Penn.), Dr. Dennis Discher (U. Penn.), Dr. Denis Wirtz (JHU), Dr. Douglas Robinson (JHU), and Dr. Daniel Fletcher (U.C. Berkeley). These six scientists use both experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the biological responses of proteins and cells to mechanical stimuli, such as forces and geometrical constraints. Their research extends from molecular scale to cellular level to tissue level.
