Third International Conference on Computational Contact Mechanics
Dear Colleague,
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the Third International Conference on Computational Contact Mechanics (ICCCM 2013), to be held in Lecce, Italy, on July 10-12, 2013.
Provisional agenda for the International CAE Conferemce has now been released!
The provisional agenda for the International CAE Conference has been released - featuring great papers from GE, Indesit, JLR, Volvo...and many more! See the agenda and register to attend the Conference in Italy!
will someone recommend some papers or books about complex/branched coheshive crack examples
papers about complex/branched cracks that I have got all belong to the area of the linear elastic fracture mechanics.
The technical program for the Composite Conference is now on-line.
The event takes place August 13-17, 2012, Las Cruces NM.
'Composite Conference 2012 is focused on composite pressurized structures and vessels, and brings together the international composite community to discuss significant advances in the composite performance, durability, and safety.'
There are still a few seats available for the NASGRO - ESACRACK training course organised at ESA-ESTEC, 11-13 September 2012 ...
The NASGRO® ( www.nasgro.swri.org ) fracture mechanics and fatigue crack growth analysis software is distributed as part of the ESACRACK software for application to fracture control verification of structural hardware used on ESA projects.
Matlab-based Digital Image and Volume Correlation Simulators
Hi,
I just posted a Matlab-GUI easy-to-use DIC and DVC simulator tool on our website (franck.engin.brown.edu) for download for anyone that works with DIC or DVC. The purpose of these simulators is to simulate deformation fields based on a user provided image (2D) or volume (3D), and evaluate the correlation results with the analytical solutions to provide quantitative feedback on the "goodness" of the provided images for DIC or DVC purposes.
Feel free to use them for research, teaching, etc. We welcome any suggestions for improvements, etc.
Lecture Notes on Micromechanics
Dear iMechanica community,
I have posted a set of lecture notes on the analysis of heterogeneous materials under MICROMECHANICS. The lecture notes include a collection of Fortran and MATLAB codes that accompany the computational exercises in Part II of the notes.

Abstract:
The ESAFORM 2013 International Conference on Material Forming
Dear Colleagues,
Following the last successful events in the past years, the next ESAFORM
Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2013) will represent the 16th
edition of one of the most important and well-established international
research meetings on the material forming field. The conference will be held
at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 22 to 24 of April, 2013.
