Question
I just was wondeing what is the physical meaning of K (bulk modulus) going to zero? does anyone know any materials with very small bulk modulus?
MSCI Scholoarships (Labex MS2T) - at UTC
UTC is pleased to announce the start of the second year of the MSCI master in Interacting Complex Systems, taught in English.
MSCI delivers a national master diploma fully accredited by French Ministry of Higher Education.
Course modules tie in with the Labex MS2T (Laboratory of Excellence in Control of Technological Systems-of-Systems) research program. They are drawn from the areas of expertise of the laboratories.
Looking For a Graduate Position
My name is Seyed Ali Elahi. I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Yasouj University, and now I am MSc Student in Shiraz University of Technology. I am writing to apply for a PhD position in your research team. During my undergraduate study I have published three and submitted another journal papers and I have presented ten conference papers. In 2011, I was awarded the best researcher award in Yasouj University among all BS and MS students. Please find attached to this email my detailed resume and my journal papers.
A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available
I am seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on theoretical and computational
modeling of Traumatic Brain Injury. The position is available immediately. The
potential candidate should have a
Ph.D. (or must have completed the requirements for the Ph.D.) with a background in Solid Mechanics, Biomechanics or related field. The candidate
will be a part of Hopkins Extreme Material Institute (hemi.jhu.edu), under the
guidance of K.T. Ramesh and myself.
Postdoc position in morphing structures
One postdoctoral research associate position is anticipated at the Department of
Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering
at the University of Washington. The successful candidate will work on
developing novel morphing structures using shape memory alloys and thermoelectric
materials, in collaboration with the Boeing Company. The candidate should have
Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or
related field, have strong experimental experience in smart materials and
Hybrid Composite Tensile Test
Dear Engineers.
I am Master degree student and I am trying to determine Young's Modulus of Hybrid Composite. Since I Don't have any material properties in detail of each part of mentiond composite, I chose an experimental tensile test with MTS machine to attain at Least Young's Modulus. The major problem which I have faced is that due to limitation on my sample, i can just prepare specimen for transverse tensile test based on ASTM standard which recommend geometrical dimensions for specimen.
Lattice Modeling of Chloride Diffusion in Sound and Cracked Concrete
Our paper titled "Lattice modeling of chloride diffusion in sound and cracked concrete" has been accepted for publication by Cement and Concrete Composites journal. It deals with numerical modeling of chloride transport coupled with fracture. Registered subscribers can download the paper at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0958946513000899 .
Saint-Venant's Principle: Rationalized and Rational
The problem of statement of Saint-Venant's Principle is concerned. Statement of Boussinesq or Love is ambiguous so that its interpretations are in contradiction with each other. Rationalized Statement of Saint-Venant’s Principle of elasticity is suggested to rule out the ambiguity of Statements of Boussinesq and Love. Rational Saint-Venant's Principle is suggested to fit and guide applications of the principle to fields of continuum physics and cover the analogical case as well as the non-analogical case discovered and discussed in this paper .
Zanaboni Theory and Saint-Venant's Principle: Updated
Zanaboni Theory is mathematically analyzed in this paper. The conclusion is that Zanaboni Theorem is invalid and not a proof of Saint-Venant's Principle; Discrete Zanaboni Theorem and Zanaboni's energy decay are inconsistent with Saint-Venant's decay; the inconsistency, discussed here, between Zanaboni Theory and Saint-Venant's Principle provides more proofs that Saint-Venant's Principle is not generally true.
