Eulerian Analysis in impact phenomena
Hi friends,
Does anybody know what this error mean?
The general contact definition is empty. The definition must include at least one surface. If *CONTACT EXCLUSIONS was defined, check whether the *CONTACT EXCLUSIONS option was specified correctly. Additionally, check whether PURE MASTER-SLAVE formulation is applied to any self-contact situations.
Faculty Position (in Mechanics) at Graz University of Technology, Austria
There is an open faculty position at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graz University of Technology, Austria in the field of strength of materials.
More information about the position and the application instruction may be found here:

As the position will involve undergraduate teaching in German, candidates need to be fluent in German (hence, the description is in German only).
Non-linear multiphysics modeling of ionic gels
The paper presents a thermodynamically consistent modeling of the non-linear multiphysics of ionic polymer gels based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. In particular, the deformations induced by the motion of ions under an applied voltage are viewed as distortions, similarly to growth-induced deformations in soft tissues. Furthermore, a consistent linearization of the model in the regime of small deformations is discussed. Finally, a finite element implementation of the theory is introduced and validated against experimental results.
How to obtain mode shapes from FRF modal analysis?
I am finding difficulties to obatain the mode shape from Frequency Response Function (FRF). Let know me the brief procedure in the modal analysis.
New impact factor of Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica (AMSS): 1.330
The new impact factor of Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica (AMSS) is 1.330, as revealed in the 2012 Journal Citation Reports published by Thomson Reuters. This is the third consecutive increase in Impact Factor of the journal.
Nonconservative Stability Problems of Modern Physics
This monograph gives a complete overview on the subject of nonconservative stability from the modern point of view. Relevant mathematical concepts are presented, as well as rigorous stability results and numerous classical and contemporary examples from mechanics and physics.
Power-law hereditariness of Hierarchical Fractal Bones
In this paper the authors introduce a hierarchic fractal model
to describe bone hereditariness. Indeed, experimental data of stress
relaxation or creep functions obtained by compressive/tensile tests have
