Daniel Hurtado, from the California Institute of Technology, is the 2011 Melosh Medalist for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis. Daniel won for his paper titled "Multiscale Modeling of Microcrystalline Materials". He presented the paper on Friday, April 29, 2011, on the campus of Duke University.
Please join me in congratulating Daniel!
We have just learned that Professor Alan Needleman, of the University of North Texas, will receive the 2011 Timoshenko Medal.
I am currently accepting applications for two Ph.D. students starting in January 2012. The students will join my research group in the Materials Engineering department at McGill University. Students in my research group are trained to be world class researchers in the fields of surface engineering and coatings tribology.
Dear colleague,
The 2nd issue in 2011 (Volume 24, Issue 2) of Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica (AMSS) is now online.
Welcome to this SCI-indexed journal <http://ees.elsevier.com/camss/> for rapid publication of your exciting results.

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any chance to simulate orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep of CFRP in ANSYS (e.g. by means of user programmable features (UMAT subroutines) or using the software DIGIMAT or others)? For the nonlinear part I would like to use Schapery's method.
Many thanks for yor help!

We invite the submission of abstracts for a Minisymposium of Multiscale Methods in Plasticity at the Third International Symposium of Computational Mechanics (ISCM III) in conjunction with the Second Symposium on Computational Structural Engineering (CSE II), which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, December 5-7 2011. Abstract submission deadline is July 15, 2011. Please check the conference website for more details (http://iscm3.caece.net/index.html).
Hello, I am using the Abaqus UEL module to use a customised element type. I have all the stress values at the Gauss Points (3x3 Gauss Quadrature) which I have exported through the SVARS variable. Is there any way I can plot the stress contours on the geometry in Abaqus or any other software ?
Thanks,Sourish
