Can anybody tell me what is the most suitable software for molecular dynamic simulation of CNT from SIESTA and Material Studio?
Welcome to the January 2009 issue. This issue addresses the important discussion on cell mechanics. Acute need to study cell mechanics is driven by the fundamental goal of tissue engineering i.e. to make tissue engineered constructs that can mimic the environment for tissue regeneration with a potential to replace the biological functions of damaged organs. There is now worldwide activity in the in vitro regeneration of tissues including nerve, liver, bone, heart valves, blood vessels, and kidney.
I have an opening for a post-doctoral position starting early next year (Jan 2009) in the broad area of multi-scale mechanics of nano-crystalline (nc) materials. The focus will be on microstructure mediated failure processes in nc materials primarily using continuum mechanics based approaches, but informed by materials science.
If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.
Thanks,

Recently I work on Finite Element Modeling of human eye . And focus on cornea .( the outer transparent layer of human eye) . Based on Its structure which consist of collagen fibers I have to use the Anisotopic hyperelastic model . And I derived the coefficients of
strain energy function which divided into three terms of : volumetric,isotropic and anisotropic
Please note that the DHPA award is no longer available. We look forward to Ms Zartasha Mustansar joining us in January 2009.
For Sphere to cylinder contact what r the type of forces generated during rolling
hello, every one
recently,I need to develop model on the material of Ti-6Al-4v with Abaqus, I will use both Johnson-cook damage and shear damage for damage evolution,however, i am confused on the parameters for shear failure:
1)the parameter "ks", i can't find this value on internet;
2)the fracture energy for damage evolution in shear failure, the value should be the same with Johnson-cook,help example gives the same value, but i think it should be KII value for shear fracture,not KI.
