Python
Having learned Python for a while now, I believe it is of benefit to students who want to learn statistical analysis and such models and be able to compute these. Python is an easy to learn language. Oh and did I mention George his is for you ;)

uniaxial compression of metals: data compilation
Overhead Electrical Conductors
In the review paper by Spak & al. (January 2013) on cable bending mechanical models, one class of models was not specifically mentioned, in which authors attempt to take into account the tangential elasticity at points of contact between cable layers. There are at least two noteworthy contributions:

Abaqus verification
Hello everyone
I have a question about Abaqus verification for a Mooney-Rivlin
hyperelastic material example which exist in ABAQUS Documentation/Abaqus
Verification Manual/2.2.1 Elastic materials/VIII. Hyperelasticity with
Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function. In the example for a Test data
input-uni axial tension the company Defined a stress-strain curve as
input for material property(Nominal stress-Nominal strain). But when I
plot these parameters(Stress -nominal strain) as output of the software
