WCCM 2012 - Mini symposium on Computational Damage Mechanics of Composite Materials

Submitted by malfano on

I am co-organizing a mini-symposium on « Computational damage mechanics of composite materials »  in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2012) with Dr. Gilles Lubineau at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dr. Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.



ABAQUS-Impact Mechanics

Submitted by TANZEEM UL HASAN on

i am facing problems in modelling CFRP plate in impact machanics.

1-what section type is to be given(homogenious,generelized strrain etc.).

2-what element type in meshing.

i am modelling CFRP sendwitched in between aluminium plates (CARAL).

Please help me if anybody know it.

                                                       THANKS.

2011 ASME Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) - Haythornthwaite RESEARCH INITIATION GRANTS AWARDED

Submitted by Ares Rosakis on

This year the Applied Mechanics Division, through the generosity the Haythornthwaite Foundation, presented a new divisional award, the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant.  This new grant targets university faculty that are at the beginning of their academic careers engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics.  This year there were three recipients of the 2011 awards.

Some papers relate to elastic/acoustic wave propagation, stress analysis of composites by effective mathematic methodologies

Submitted by LG on

Dear Colleagues,

   We would like to introduce a few work of us in the area of elastic/acoustic wave propagation as well as stress/displacement analysis of composites by some effective mathematical methodologies. Every year with one publication as so far, the problems and the methodologies are very different from each other. We greatly appreciate your interests in the papers and the discussions with us about the technical skills if you have:

Geometry and Mechanics

Submitted by Xiaobo Liu on

The following are two papers on the geometric formulation of classical mechanics. This is a follow up to some recent posting on iMechanica, as well as an attempt to bring about further discussion on the relationship and interaction between differential geometry and classical mechanics.
