I have been asking this question in physics, chemistry, corrosion engineering, the same question.

now, in this forum, i am hoping to get some information in this subject too.

Engineering journal that is reliable (high impact factor is better) that discuss about the expert opinion, philosophy. Not on the data 'show and tell'

thanks

Stress concentartion factors in the beams with hole

Submitted by manooir on

Dear All,

A section of a beam with hole is subjected to the shear and moment. Assuming that we ignore the moment in the section of the beam, is there any formulation for obtaining the stress concentration due to shear only. I have attached a picture of the problem.

I appreciate your professional comment.

Thank you,

Manooir

 

Postdoc Positions in Li-ion Battery Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Submitted by Wei Lu on

Our GM/UM Advanced Battery Coalition at the department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan is recruiting highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researchers to study in the general field of advanced Li-ion batteries and their fading mechanisms. The candidate should hold a doctor degree in Mechanics, Materials, Chemistry, Physics, or a relevant discipline. Past experience with finite element analysis, atomistic simulations, and programming is preferred.

Lithium batteries--When mechanics meets chemistry

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

When I learned chemistry in college, the subject was presented to me with equations of chemical reactions.  It took me some time to realize a couple of simple points:  reactants need to meet to produce a product, and compounds take space.

The connection between chemistry and mechanics is made vivid to me in recent years in studying lithium batteries.  As an example, here is a recent paper when chemistry is linked with plasticity, mass transport, and fracture—essential ingredients of solid mechanics.
