Hi,

Dissertation: Hypersingular Integral Equation Method to 3D Crack in Fully Coupled Electromagnetothermoelastic Multiphase Composites

Master: studies of hypersingular integral equation method to three-dimensional crack in bimaterials

Last time, when I saw one blog of Biswajit Banerjee, I thought it would be much more convenient if we can input some equations in iMechanica for discussion. When I make discussion about mechanics with colleagues, I would like to write down some equations on the blackboard or paper. For discussion based on the web blog, LaTeX equations will be helpful. And it would be better if one can input equations directly instead of uploading one picture after another.

Dear colleagues,

Adelaide, Australia, August 24 - 29, 2008

Final Announcement and Call for Papers

     A new website http://www.failurecriteria.com has been initiated which surveys mechanics type failure criteria for homogeneous materials.  Although later additions will be concerned with anisotropic materials, the first topic of attention is that of yield and failure criteria for isotropic materials.  A brief review of  the Mises, Tresca, and Coulomb-Mohr criteria is given, along with the need for a more general form which spans the various  materials classes including metals, polymers and ceramics
