Dear Editors,
The first step of starting EML looks promising and with the help of academic people in this community, I think EML has generated enough heat with lots of interesting view points.
We all know that there has been lots of discussion in the imechanica community regarding open source journals, had any one thought about making EML fully open source?.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohith
In this study, researchers at Tel Aviv University and ROHO Inc. analysed how wheelchair cushion design affects the risk of pressure ulcers. MRI data of a male subject was used to generate a robust 3D model in Simpleware software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of stresses in FEBio. Comparisons were made between different types of wheelchair cushions to determine how they respond to pressures. The study was successful at evaluating the effectiveness of FE modelling for studying interactions between wheelchair users and equipment.
Dear Colleagues,

For the emerging areas - we are looking at themes such as additive manufacturing, metamaterials, 2D materials, data driven modeling, extreme environment mechanics or a fusion of these.
Starting a new journal is risky. Starting a new journal in mechanics is particularly risky. The responses to the two recent posts are encouraging, however.
Within two weeks since the first post, the combined reads of the two entries have passed 20,000.
Hello All -
I am soliciting advice for how to continue to keep mechanics skills sharp while in a more business/leadership role.
Please advise on techniques you have used or suggestions for ways to stay current.
Thank you for your input and for your continued development of this discipline.
Regards,
Luke Porisch
p.s. - if you were Harvard DEAS from 2003-05 please send me a note!
For those of you preparing to teach a course on Lagrangian Mechanics of Rigid Bodies in the forthcoming semester or quarter, you may be interested to read a new expository paper by Arun Srinivasa at Texas A&M and myself:
A Simple Treatment of Constraint Forces and Constraint Moments in Rigid Body Dynamics, ASME Applied Mechanics Reviews, To Appear (2014).
Hello Everyone,
I try to plot the butterfly curve for piezoelectric material (strain vs. electric field for different applied stress values). Butterfly curve shows the nonlinear response of the piezoelectric material which is a hysteretic response.
I just want to ask you guys if anybody knows a good way to plot butterfly curve for 1-3 piezoelectric materials in matlab????
The TMS Young Professionals Committee is organizing a "Meet the Candidate Poster Session" in conjunction with the general poster session of TMS 2015. This event is designed to create networking opportunities for young professionals and hopefully help them discover prospects for future employment.
The Meet the Candidate Poster Session will provide the opportunity for
