Hi Members,
This may seem a very basic or even stupid question to you all , but it still leaves me with a doubt regarding the concept behind the WHY and HOW of this. So however trivial this may seem Please bear wiith it and Help me Clearify my concept and getting the right idea.
Short Course on
Wave Propagation in Periodic Linear and Nonlinear Media
will be held at CISM, in Udine Italy (June 21-25, 2010). See course brochure attached

A postdoctoral/PhD position in various non-equilibrium problems in solid mechanics is available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Candidates should have a strong background in physics and/or theoretical mechanics, as well as experience with analytical and computational methods for solving partial differential equations. More details can be found in http://www.weizmann.ac.il/chemphys/bouchbinder/ For information about specific research projects, please send CV, a publications list and a statement of research interests to Dr.
In this letter we obtain the finite-temperature structure
of 180^o domain walls in PbTiO_3 using a quasi-harmonic
lattice dynamics approach. We obtain the temperature dependence of
the atomic structure of domain walls from 0 K up to room
temperature. We also show that both Pb-centered and Ti-centered
180^o domain walls are thicker at room temperature; domain
wall thickness at T=300 K is about three times larger than that of
T=0 K. Our calculations show that Ti-centered domain walls have a
This month's issue of SIAM news had a beautiful story of how one hard problem in mathematics was solved in less than six weeks using online collaboration. SIAM's story is not online yet, but here is another link to the same story . SIAM news refers to a "super-mathematician" coming out of several individual mathematician spread all over the world.
Hi,
I need some advice about the next topic. I've been asked to develop a Haigh Diagram for Natural Rubber as André et al.{1} or Saintier et al. {2} do, and from it, be able to predict the fatigue life of a train suspension. This authors carried out the fatigue tests under displacement control and they considered that the sample had failed when a 1mm crack appeared, because they were studing the crack initiation.
Hi everybody,
I am trying to investigate a biaxial membrane inflation experiment of human aortic tissue by the help of ANSYS Workbench. Before examining the actual anisotropic tissue I however am trying to create a model based upon a hyperelastic, but still isotropic, material. I have chosen the pre-listed neoprene rubber in ANSYS Workbench.
