Discuss why the FAR and SIR measures of fatality rate in an organization perpective is considered a poor measure of assessment of fataliy rates within the organisation.
Hi folks !
I have a question which is more mathematical than mechanical. However since it is to solve mechanical problem, one of you may have an answer !
I want to solve a non-linear problem with non-linear equality constrains and I'm using a augmented Lagrangian with a penalty regularization term that, as well known, spoils the condition number of my linearized systems (at each Newton iteration I mean). The bigger the penalty term, the worse the condition number is. Would someone know an efficient way to get rid of this bad conditioning in that specific case ?
Dear all,
I am confused with the calculation of elasticity tensor of hyperelastic material in plane stress configuration. Your helps are very much appreciated. Below is my question:
Incompressible strain energy function is expressed as, saying, U=***+p(J-1).
Therefore, the second piola-kirchhoff stress is: S=***+pC^-1 (the Lagrange muliplier p is treated as an arbitrary constant here, right?).
Using the plane stress condition, S<33>=0 so that p is updated as a function of deformation.
We have employed continuum elastic model such as plate model for understanding the nonlinear vibration behavior of monolayer graphene and graphene resonator-based mass sensing. This work was published in Nanoscale Research Letters (Vol. 7, Art No. 499, 2012).

Authors: Amin Aghaei, Kaushik Dayal, Ryan S Elliott
Abstract:
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the School
of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard University invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the Whitesides Group (Prof. George Whitesides) and the
Harvard Biodesign Lab (Prof. Conor Walsh). The research is expected to
involve material science and mechanics of soft materials with a focus on
developing novel materials (e.g. actively variable stiffness, flexible
composites, etc) and fabrication approaches for the next generation of
Postdoctoral
Research Associate Position
The
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, FL is seeking a
Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on nanostructured permanent magnets. Preference will be given to candidates who
have a strong commitment to research and development, and can actively contribute
to the programs within the NHMFL.
