A great russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold died on 3rd of June, 2010 in Paris
Vladimir Arnold died on 3rd of June 2010 in Paris, just 9 days before his 73rd birthday.
I am sure many mechanicians know him by his books, such as
Mohr's Circle---When Was the Last Time You Used It in Your Professional Engineering Work?
As a consultant in computational mechanics, I currently help write some FEM-related code, and while doing this job, an episode from a recent past came to my mind. Let me go right on to the technical issue, keeping aside the (not so good) particulars of that episode. (In case you are curious: it happened outside of my current job, during a job interview.)
If you are a design engineer, FE analyst, researcher, or any professional dealing with stress analysis in your work, I seek answers to a couple of questions from you:

Experimental data with different specimen sizes for single notch bending test
Hello, everyone
The size effect in fracture is an important topic in fracture toughness. However, when we measure the fracture toughness of ductile materials, the standard specimens in ASTM E399 are usually adopted. I find there are few experimental data with different specimen sizes available for single notch bending test, so dose somebody provide some clues or hints for this kinds of experimental results? Thank you very much!
on convected coordinates (curvilinear)
Please suggest me any good reference on curvilinear convected coordinates. I am finding it difficult to physically interpret and visualize the concept. I would be very thankful.
