Hi all,
1. In the past, we have had quite some discussion regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.
After a long process (somebody may recall I made also quite some chaos on imechanica to complain with the review process in a previous journal), this paper was accepted. Ask me a preprint if you are interested. I can attach here a few images only.

We all know most atomistic simulations in nanomechanics are performed on ideal materials that are not produced in laboratory and most experiments in nanomechanics are performed on materials that cannot be analyzed using atomistic simulations. Atomistic simulations indeed have a great capability in revealing a material's behavior with only constitutive law being used is that in the form of interatomic potential. The strain rate in atomistic simulations is of the order of 100000000 per sec which has not yet been achieved in any experiment or in a practical application.
Hi dear mechanicians,
I am about to publish the results of my MSc thesis in a journal. The thing is, my project was carried out in industry about multi-scale FE simulation of impact in composites. So it is merely an industry-level application of available methods.
I want to ask if any of you have any particular journal in mind, in which publishing such a paper is rather easy (doable) and does not have a long waiting list for review??
Looking forward to your suggestions
Thanx a lot

I was just reading about volumetric locking in Dhondt's book (for Thermomechanical analysis) and came across this (funny) question;
Now, we say the physical interpreation about Jacobian is change in volume, now if a material is incompressible Jacobian = 1, now this incompressibility is a material property, right?
Where is a material parameter attached to Jacobian expression of finite elements (1-d,2-d or 3d finite element)?
I have been bugged by this question ever since I studied cauchy's stress theory 10 years ago.
In cauchy's analysis of solids, there two popular geometries.
First one is a unit cube used for deriving equations of equilibrium.
And the second one is a tetraheadon used for deriving Cauchy's stress theorem.
In both the cases limit of force equilibrium as solid geometry shrinks to a point is derived.
My question has been, how come limit of force equilibrium at a point inside a solid depenent on the path taken by limiting process.
There are several openings for semiconductor process integration at IBM Microelectronics. The reqiured background is quite broad, specifically mechanical engineering background, reliability, failure analysis and modeling with experience in BEOL process and integration.
