First announcement



IUTAM SYMPOSIUM  Fracture phenomena in nature and technology

Brescia, Italy, July 1-5, 2012



Web page:  http://events.unitn.it/en/iutam2012



Call for contribution



We seek advanced and original contributions in fracture research,
interpreted broadly to include new engineering and structural mechanics
treatments of damage development and crack growth, and also large-scale

There are two open junior faculty positions in Stanford’s Mechanical Engineering department.  One is in the area of biomechanical engineering (broadly defined) and the second is theoretical and computational fluid mechanics (broadly defined).

The following is a synopsis of the announcements. 



Tenure Track Junior Faculty Opening

Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.

dear my friends:

 I am a new one in the fatigue crack study. as we all konw, there is a crack resistant near the crack tip before its cracking. HRR model has been well testfied in monotanic crack, so i wonder whether it can be expanded to the cyclic crack situation or not! if yes, so how to describe the stress-strain distribution just nearby the tip? can we define a similar resistant value in the cyclic status?and is the stress redistribution concept right for the stress harden material?

any suggestions would be appreciated!

regards, Long

The international SIMULIA Customer Conference (SCC2012) will be held May 15-17, 2012 in Providence RI, USA. Abstracts for papers are due November 7, 2011.



All users of SIMULIA products including Abaqus FEA, Multiphysics, Isight and Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) are invited to submit an abstract.

Good day, dear colleges.
