finite element formultion for axisymmetric plate buckling

Submitted by Maxim K on

Ask iMechanica

hi,

I'm looking for finite element formulation for
buckling (or vibration) of an axisymmetric plate. i went threw the whole
shelf in the library  and  didn't find something that i can implement 
or  reference for a software i can integrate with matlab. i will be
grateful if you could  point me in the right direction.

Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Solid Mechanics

Submitted by Dirk Mohr on

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique (Paris).  The aim of this postdoctoral research project is to investigate the mechanical behavior of a newly-developed all-metal sandwich sheet material for automotive and aerospace applications. The ultimate goal is to optimize the characteristic sandwich core structure for formability, crashworthiness and fatigue life. This research makes use of experimental, theoretical and computational mechanics.

Effect of constraint on interface fracture toughness

Submitted by Siva P V Nadimpalli on

Hi All,

I have a question in my mind, we all know that the fracture toughness of isotropic, homogeneous materials is dependent on state of stress (plane strain and plane stress). It is higher in case of plane stress and decreases as the constraint increases and attains a constant value which we call "plane strain fracture toughness". But, what about the fracture toughness in interfaces? or fracture of thin layer bonded between two substrates (adhesive type)? I am sure that it will be a function of this as well.
