Traditional Failure Criteria
Forums
Hey every one,
I had a look at the book 'Fracture Mechanics, an introduction' by E.E. Gdoutos, in the preface he talks about "Traditional Failure criteria" and how it's not capable of "adequately" explaining many structural failures and this shortcoming led to the emergence of fracture mechanics theory by Griffith.
But he doesn't really give an acount of what he (Gdoutos) means by "traditional failure criteria".
Could someone please explain me what is the "traditional fracture criteria" as oposed to new criteria introduced by fracture mechanics?
Ph. D position in Mechanics of Materials
Two Ph.D positions are open for Fall 2018 in Mechanical Engineering at the Univesrity of New Hampshire.
The student will work on the NSF/CAREER project on Mechanics of Chiral Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials.
(theory, finite element simulations, 3D printing, and mechanical experiments)
The candidate will also have opportunity to apply for the CEPS fellowship.

PhD Position at McGill University in Advanced Nonlinear Materials
One PhD position is available for Fall 2018 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research is on the field of multiscale mechanics of Advanced Nonlinear Architected Materials. Theoretical, computational, and experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiscale multiphysics analysis of architected cellular materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.

Stephen Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University
The Mechanics and Computation Group (Department of Mechanical Engineering) at Stanford University is seeking applicants for the “Stephen Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship.” This appointment is for a term of two years, beginning in September 2018.
Regarding to the effective elastic tensor form of a double layered perforation panel
I am studying the effective material property of a double-layered perforation (Fig. 1). The perforation rate is different on the two layers, which are connected via arrays of pillars. Both perforation and pillars are closer packed in y-direction (the beam length direction) than the x-direction (the beam width direction) to render an anisotropic in plane material property. Fig. 1 (b) shows a unit cell of such a periodic perforation.

I am studying the vibrational behaviour of a microbeam made of a polymer (Fig. 1). The beam consists of a paddle part and a tapered part and is fixed at the tapered end.
