After many publications and lecture notes, Prof. Ian Murdoch has finally organized much of that material in the form of a book.
I am very hopeful that like Prof. Murdoch's lectures, this monograph will also help the readers to develop a better understanding of the physical aspects of mechanics. It will be a valuable addition to the researchers' personal collection.

The long range elastic interaction between dislocations is naturally accounted in
discrete dislocation plasticity through stress field of individual dislocation.
In addition, the dislocation boundaries elastic interaction is considered via
image stress superposition approach in the finite element framework. In current
study these interaction terms are considered in crystal plasticity framework
through length scale dependent internal residual stresses which are arise from
hello everyone..i am a beginner in this field so ultimately seek help in order to escalate in my research.Currently i am working on hybrid composites using graphite filled FRPCs so kindly encourage me and help me make up my mind for better understanding in order to have an effective research.I am concentrating on tribological properties and if there is anything i can possibly implement to make it more profound please guide me so.I am working on my theoratical thesis right now.
We analyze the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric composites, and conclude that thermoelectric figure of merit ZT as we know it is ill-defined for composites, and is irrelevant for their conversion efficiency. In addition, we prove that thermoelectric conversion efficiency of a composite is not bounded by its constituents, and can be higher than all its constituents in the absence of size and interface effects, in contrast to previous claim.

Abstract:
The Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the general area of dynamical systems with applications to mechanics. Appointment will be at the rank of assistant, associate or full professor. Exceptionally qualified candidates may also be eligible for a named professor appointment.
