Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Liping Liu on "A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method" to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.

ABAQUS crack propagation

Ask iMechanica

I'm trying to model in ABAQUS that crack density increases with an increasing strain. The single crack path could be either predefined or solution-dependent. It seems to me that seam crack is able to deal with predefined crack path, but could not deal with increasing crack number? XFEM is powerful and able to predict solution-dependent crack path, however, is it able to produce more and more cracks as the applied strain increases? Thanks for any help. Appreciate.

I'm currently working with a particle tracking velocimetry method, specifically trying to extract shear and vorticity data from the non-gridded velocity results. Of several methods used, the most efficient and accurate was based on a non-Sibsonian element free method. Unlike a more typical Galerkin problem which finds displacements by solving a PDE, this method uses the displacements of natural neighbors to find local flow gradients.

Hi,

I am writing to inform you about a new master in Computational Materials Science offered at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. It is an international master program, and all the lectures will be given in English.

To enhance multidisciplinary research, the program is open to students from different background, mechanical engineering, solid state physics and materials science.
