Submitted by Arruda on
job

A one-year post-doc position is available immediately in the Arruda laboratory at the University of Michigan.  The position is renewable, depending on performance.  The project involves analytical and computational modeling of non-woven polymer fibrous networks during high strain rate deformation.  Applicants should have a strong background in solid mechanics, including plasticity.  Knowledge of polymers is a plus.  Send application materials (including cv, list of publications, references and earliest start date) to arruda

What is Z-set

Z-set is a computational code devoted to the analysis of material and
structure behavior, involving a finite element solver and a collection
of specific tools for material parameter calibration, preprocessing and
postprocessing computations. Z-set is the result of 30 years of close collaboration between the

What are my Open-Access options?

Submitted by Mikael Öhman on
opinion
open access

As many othes, I find myself in the position that my funding agency mandates some form of parallel publishing (or preferably OpenAccess) (as well as an Open Access policy from my university itself).

I've been reading through what author rights i retain with different publishers, and among the big ones very little rights are retained.
Elsevier allows preprints to be published only if it is voluntary. That is, they intentionally prohibit mandated parallel publishing to protect their profit.
Wiley had different rights with different journals, but my first hand choice simply didn't allow parallel publishing of any kind ever.

Change of basis for deviatoric second order tensors

Submitted by sykledust on

tensor analysis

Dear mechanicians

 

I remember reading somewhere that someone had a proof of the following:

Given a deviatoric/traceless second order tensor it is possible to find a basis for which all the normal/direct components equal zero.

For 2d this is easy: a basis rotated 45deg wrt. the eigenbasis.

The proof concerned 3d and it may have been Gurtin that had it in one of his books (sometihng tells me "The Linear Theory of Elasticity" (1972) as I don't have access to this one), but I'm not certain.

The
Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials has immediate openings
for two post-doctoral positions, dealing with (i) laboratory experiments on hydraulic
fracture and (ii) ductile failure in metals. The primary focus in both
investigations is on performing laboratory experiments that are then followed
by appropriate analyses. Candidates with a strong background in solid mechanics
and experience in experimental solid mechanics are encouraged to contact Professor

Unknown error with abaqus 6.122 with user subroutines

Submitted by mannesantana on
research

I have been trying to run an analysis with the user subrouting UMAT in abaqus 6.12. I have microsoft visual studio 10.0.40219.1 and fortran 10.1.034. I think I linked the compiler correctly, and the path variable should have all the necessary adresses. However, when I run the verification cpp_make, fortran_make, and std_user show errors. here is the fortran_make.txt file:
