The group of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the  University of

Brescia is seeking two candidates for Ph.D. positions. The appointment

is starting on January 1st 2011, application deadline Sept. 15th 2010.



The research topics involve: computational dynamics of solids with

reference to ground motion simulation due to seismic input, multiscale

computational fracture mechanics and discrete dislocation mechanics.

 OBJECTIVE: Seeking opportunity as Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Structural Analysis Engineer.

SUMMARY:

could somebody help me to get a paper,named 

A review of recent masonry research and its relationship to the masonry 2007 innovation and research strategy

i'm now doing some work on masonry structures, about seismic resistance , sesimic assessment, and numerical modeling , restoration of masonry structures,

so somebody else doing this work now ?  we can talk about this subject.

I'm hoping that someone can share the physical significance (i.e. type of motion) resulting when the (spatial) velcity gradient L is constant. I'm not certain if L constant wrt to only position or also time. Gurtin (The Mechanics & Thermodynamics of Continua, pp. 107-08) uses this assumption to develop the motion equation given below.

Hello

I was analyzing pavement subjected to traffic wheel load. I was using the load as cyclic pressure. Suppose an amount of pressure with 200 different time frame. But I am not getting the right result as measured. So, would you please help on applying moving load? How can I assigned that load as moving load? where can I find the step load function? how can I determine the initial increment? is it more realistic to simulate the wheel load as dynamic? how can I do that?

Thanks a lot.

Hi

 I am facing some problems with FRANC3D 3.2 as my getting different errors. Does anyone has the older version of FRANC3D i.e. version 2.6.

Furthermore all the manuals are for older version.

Kindly let me know if anyone has.

Thanks
