Progress Report for International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM)
Dear All IJAM Contributors,
On behalf of Imperial College Press and the International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM), I would like to take this opportunity on my best wishes to you and your families, wishing you a very good and Happy New Year!
Tetrahedron
The Simplex K with 4 Vertices in Dimension 3 is a Tetrahedron and :
K = determinant((x2-x1) , (x3-x2) , (x4-x3) ; (y2-y1) , (y3-y2) , (y4-y3) ; (z2-z1) , (z3-z2) , (z4-z3))
The Volume of this element is :
V(K) = abs(K) / 3!
If V(K) ~= 0 then K is Nearly Degenerated

prestressed concrete
Dear Abaqus user
I am modeling a post-tensioned concrete pier with 4 part:
-concrete foundation,pier,cap(C3D8R) and tendon(wire,B31)
I input prestress force by predefined file,stress in initial step.The first step is static,General to find equilibrium.
I embeded the beginning & the end of wire in foundation & cap. contact between (foundation,pier) & (pier,cap) is hard normal contact and the tangential behavior is penalty.
Invitation to SES at Brown
Dear Colleague:
It is a pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium:
"From Atomistics to Reality: Spanning Scales in Simulations and Experiments"
that we are organizing at the SES 50th Annual Technical Meeting/ASME-AMD Summer Meeting to be held at Brown University in Providence, RI during July 28-31, 2013.
More information on the symposium and a link to submit an abstract is available here:

Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials at PACAM XIII
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a track entitled "Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials" at PACAM XIII (May 22-24, 2013, Houston) (http://www.conferencetoolbox.org/PACAMXIII/CallForPapersDetail.cfm). The tentative submission deadline is Jan 15, 2013. Below is a brief description of the track.
Post-Doc in Molecular Dynamics
A post-doctoral researcher is sought for
molecular dynamics simulations of water and contaminant flow through polymeric
membranes. The position will involve theory, molecular dynamics
simulations, and writing papers and proposals. The ideal candidate will
have a PhD in physics, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering with
experience in molecular dynamics simulations. Strong writing skills are
mandatory. The appointment is for one year, starting as soon as
possible. The research will be performed at Northwestern University,
