Hi All,

Does anyone have the values for the fractrue energy or/and displacement at failure for Al2024-T3, I am trying to find them for my simulations.

 

Many thanks

 

 

Looking for Postdoctoral Position

Submitted by Likun Tan on

Dear imechanica members,

My name is Likun and I am posting this blog in searching for postdoctoral positions in Computational Solid Mechanics.

I obtained Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics at Carnegie Mellon University. My thesis work involves developing multiscale method for retrieving slow-time scale behavior from molecular dynamics.

I also have several years' research experience in multiscale analysis and phase-field modeling of hysteresitic behaviror in active materials.  

Seek program or software for 3d crack propagation in soft tissue

Submitted by Wang Lei on

Dear all,

I am looking for a program or software, which allow me to have a quick example for demostrating 3d crack propagation in soft tissue. Can someone share your suggestion on that? At the same time, some references related are also appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance. 

Best wishes,

Lei

Micromechanics of hierarchical materials: a brief overview

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

A short overview of micromechanical models of hierarchical materials (hybrid composites, biomaterials, fractal materials, etc.) is given. Several examples of the modeling of strength and damage in hierarchical materials are summarized, among them, 3D FE model of hybrid composites with nanoengineered matrix, fiber bundle model of UD composites with hierarchically clustered fibers and 3D multilevel model of wood considered as a gradient, cellular material with layered composite cell walls.
