Mechanics of porous material
Hi all,
I am going simulate a plate of porous material (SiC) to evaluate its strengh.
Would someone share some knowledge on the mechanics of the porous materials.
Thanks.

Linear elastic fracture mechanics
These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010. The title of the notes was then "toughness". In revising the notes for the class in 2014, I have changed the title of the notes to "Linear elastic fracture mechanics".
You can access all notes for the course on fracture mechanics.

G value for design
Hi all,
I want to know how the G(Gravity) value will taken as 4g or 3g for the design of the structures.
On what basis the value will be selected.
Any calculation or theory about it, plz tell me.

SES 2010 Annual Technical Meeting - Call for Symposia
Dear Colleague:
The Society of the Engineering Science is sponsoring the 47th Annual Technical Meeting (SES2010) on October 4-6, 2010 at Iowa State University in Ames, IA. The meeting is held on biannual basis as a standalone meeting to foster and promote the exchange of ideas and information among the various disciplines of engineering and the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, bioengineering and related scientific and engineering fields.
finite difference solution of convective boundary layer flow
Hi
i want to solve convection boundary layer flow past a vertical plate problem using Finite difference method, that is, i have to solve momentum (NavierStokes) and energy equations. Most of the boundary layer problem is solved by similarity transform method. That is they convert PDE to ODE then they solve ODE by Runge Kutta Shooting method. I would like to solve the PDE directly.
Momentum Eqn
U_t+U U_x + V U_y = U_yy + Gr T
Energy Eqn
