The 8th International Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN2011 will take place in Leuven from 4 to 6 July 2011
The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.

Nondetermistic material models
Forums
I am currently working on design optimization of nondeterministic systems and
would like to find realistic tolerances for the values of material
properties. Does anyone know of a (standard) reference for material
values that is probabistic or at least shows a range of values?

i have relations for tensile and bending stress in a rectangular plate due to a central surface crack for a constant thickness plate . i need to have these relations for a varying thickness plate . can any body help.
How to use ansys to model the tangential deformation of a rotating blade.
Forums
Dear all,
I have one question here. A blade is mounting on a rigid disk's outer rim. The disk is rotating at a variable angular speed. The system is used to model a turbine wheel with a blade mounted on it when the engine is ramping up or shuttng down.
The thing I want to calculate is the blade tip deformation in tangential direction during this engine ramp up -steady state -shut down process. Does anybody know how to use ANSYS to model it?
Symposium on Multi-physics of Materials and Interfaces @ USNCTAM 2010
Dear Colleagues:
As a part of the 16th US National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics conference (from June 27 to July 2, 2010 at Penn State University), we are organizing a symposium on the multi-physics, or the coupling among physical domains (thermal, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, optical, chemical to name a few).
A Geometric Theory of Thermal Stresses
In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of thermal stresses.
Given a temperature distribution, we associate a Riemannian
material manifold to the body, with a metric that explicitly
depends on the temperature distribution. A change of temperature
corresponds to a change of the material metric. In this sense, a
temperature change is a concrete example of the so-called
referential evolutions. We also make a concrete connection between
our geometric point of view and the multiplicative decomposition
