hello everyone
A question how is possible in the same material and in the same temprature we observe some different material properties? as we can see in shape alloy effect? I appreciate if somebody give me some clues as a light to shed the research way. thank you in advance.
I’ve just come back from a Winter School on Dielectric Elastomer Transducers, held at Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland, 10-16 January 2010. Lectures were given by various people, covering the theory of electromechanical interaction, design of devices, development of materials, and technologies of manufacturing. I was asked to give three lectures on the theory. I attach the slides of my lectures.
Hello,
I am working on Self piercing riveted joints and trying to simulate using Lsdyna,iam using piecewise linear plastic material model. The rivet is not able to pierce into the sheets, insted it is compressing the elements and elongating them. 4-noded shell elements where used. i want to know how will the elements get broken up or removed from the path of the rivet, I have used one way erode contact card but it was of no use. If any one can suggest me how the approch should be i would be a great help.
I am going to Modena on Monday to talk to my collegues in the Millechili lab (MilleChili means 1000Kg in italian)
There exist some software/codes for atomistic/continuum coupling multiscale materials modeling methods (in alphabetical order):
1. AtC, atomistic-to-continuum coupling, included in LAMMPS
2. BDM, bridging domain method, included in LibMultiScale
3. MMM, multiresolution multiscale mechanics method

I will be setting up an open source project for parallel finite element analysis in the next month or two. I am just wondering what the community's opinion is regarding the best repository to use.
SourceForge? Google Software? Others?
Your opinions are welcome.
Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time.
Genuine shock waves and adiabatic hypothesis.

A question for those interested in the history of mechanics. We have Hooke's law for 2D stress-strain and a generalised Hooke's law for 3D stress states. Maybe I have missed something in my reading of history, but since it appears that it was Thomas Young and not Hooke who related stress and strain (Hooke looked only at force - displacement), why don't we use Young's law or a generalised Young's law?
