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/&gt; 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!
