Transverse shear stresses in Reissner Mindlin theory
How is it possible to obtain the transverse shear stresses correctly, not constant, by Reissner Mindlin theory?
Equilibrium equation would be the first solution, but, once the second derivatives of bilinear shape functions are zero, no results is appeared.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Virtual Special Issue: 'Outstanding research contributions in the area of nonlinear continuum and computational mechanics'
The 2014 Nathan M. Newmark Medal was awarded to Professor Herbert A. Mang at the annual ASCE Structures Conference, which took place in Boston, April 3–5, 2014. Professor Mang was awarded the Newmark Medal for his outstanding research contributions in the area of nonlinear continuum and computational mechanics that clarified the cause of collapse of important concrete structures and quantified the influence of the initial post buckling behavior of metallic structures.

Dear friends,
Could anyone be kind to share some comments on my interesting results? It is my first time to post a topic, hope to communicate more with the members here.

Ultra-Strong Collagen-Mimic Carbon Nanotube Bundles
In spite of worldwide research, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) still have not fully realized their
original promise as ideal reinforcements for composite materials due to a number of
challenging issues such as weak interface, poor dispersion, misalignment and lack of optimized
design. Here we propose a bio-inspired structure of CNT bundles with controllable
crosslink density and staggered pattern of organization that mimic the architecture of
Elastic Bounds of Bioinspired Nanocomposites
Biological materials in nature serve as a valuable source of inspiration for developing
novel synthetic materials with extraordinary properties or functions. Much effort to date
has been directed toward fabricating and understanding bio-inspired nanocomposites
with internal architectures mimicking those of nacre and collagen fibril. Here we establish
simple and explicit analytical solutions for both upper and lower bounds of the elastic
