reference point for calculating effective elastic properties of RVE
i have implemented pbc condition using 3 reference points .
i want to check the same using homogeneous boundary conditions so how to use reference point for that

Simulation of crack growth in Ni-based single crystals
In a cooperative research between PoliMi and UIUC we have analyzed the crack growth in Ni-based single crystals:

Crack growth experiments analyzed with DIC had shown relatively low closure levels respect to polycrystals. Crystal plasticity simulations with WARP3D have been able to simulate closure levels consistent with the experimental ones.

Introduction
Application of Bernoulli equation in cold forming of Steel
Forums
Hi All
I know it might sound weird, but can I use the bernoulli equation to know the velocity of steel running in thinner throtles in cold forming, that might have a higher velocity, via analytic method. in this condition, the metal is not so much like a fluid, but it's deforming ,and it's behavior and speed is different when it passes in different cross section areas
Graduate Student/Postdoctoral Position (US Persons only): Atomic scale and Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut
The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a graduate student and/or a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of impact behavior of materials at the mesoscale. The position is open for US persons only (US citizenship or Permanent Residency required).
Adsorption and Conformational Evolution of Alpha-Helical BSA Segments on Graphene: A Molecular Dynamics Study
http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S1758825116500216 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the adsorption mechanics and conformational dynamics of single and multiple bovine serum albumin (BSA) peptide segments on single-layer graphene through analysis of parameters such as the root-mean-square displacements, number of hydrogen bonds, helical content, inter- action energies, and motions of mass center of the peptides.
Post-doctoral Position in Biomechanics at University of Texas
The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for an open position as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific project involves collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and requires the Fellow to work at both institutions. The work involves experimental characterization of tissues and surgical remodeling, and development of computational modeling of surgical reconstruction.
