academic job

One Research Fellow (Post-doc) position is open at the National University of Singapore.

If hired, you will work at Soft Materials Lab @ Advanced Robotics Centre (ARC), which I head.

Job Desription: Conduct research on biomechanics of the human motion, and how to effectively harvest energy from these motions using a soft and stretchable generator.  You are expected to perform both theoretical and experimental investigation, produce research papers and perhaps, file patents.

How to determine elastic constants of transversely isotropic material by tension experiment?

Submitted by Yang.Xia on
Forums
Experimental Mechanics Forum

Hello. I am working to design an experiment to  determine elastic constants of transversely isotropic material (also plastic-like material). There are five independent coefficients, and with experiment methods described in this paper doi:10.1016/j.ijrmms.2011.12.004, I need to carry out at least 3 tensile experiments. In the experiments, I need to measure not only the tensile strain-stress curve, but also at least one transverse strain to determine the poisson's ratio in the plane of transverse isotropy to a stress acting parallelly to it.

Dynamic necking can avoid notches

Submitted by D.Rittel on

Following an earlier post on dynamic necking of tensile bars, we show in the attached paper (to appear in JMPS) that the presence of deep notches in the specimen does not necessarily dictate the location of the neck. Various material parameters are identified and modeled numerically, to assess their respective influence. Strain-rate sensitivity is identified as an important factor.
