Dear researchers,
My name is Chi and I just started my PhD study two months ago. I am experimentally and numerically studying the pore pressure build-up in sands during the pile load test and hence, at the first stage, I need to have a constitutive model for soil with both dilatancy and hardening behaviors.
im doin my final yr proj on composite shell......actually my structure involve a single layerd and a bidirectional fiber orientation...
But i felt really tough in solving usin ANSYS..i started my proceedings with some approximations ie) i hav used modelling->layup option with an assumption of 0.5 mm thick layer of 0 deg orientation....nd remaining 0.5mm thick layer of 90 deg orientation...
but my stucture involves an interwoven fabric structure....so im not sure whether im moving rite.....so pls give me ur suggestions
thanks in advance
My research interest focuses on concrete damage constutitive model and its numerical implementation, performance-based seismic design of bridge structures, variational integrand method and conservative propertied of irreversible process, methmatical base of damage theory .Now I work as a postdoctoral research till Sep. 2009 at Tongji University, P R China. My current research are supported partly by China Postdoc Fund Committee and Shanghai Postdoc Fund Committee.
There will be a mini-symposium entitled "Defects and Microstructure at the Nanoscale and Beyond," at the USNCCM-10 conference in Columbus, OH, July 16 -19, 2009. This topic is of keen interest to the I-Mechanica community and we hope many of you will join us there. Our goal is to bring together researchers from the mechanics, materials, and physics communities to cross-fertilize research on defect-mediated processes in microstructural evolution, with a focus on both hard and soft materials.
A new journal in Materials Engineering, with emphasis on mechanical properties, will be launched this year.

Hello Everyone
I am looking for research topics for my PhD. My interests are structural analysis of composites. Kindly suggest the upcoming/challenging topics that I can take up for my research.
Hi everyone,
I am a under graduate (B.E-Mechanical) student carrying out project for my curriculam.
In this project I was alloted to study the strength of collered tube kind of product. In this product I have to study the stress at fillet region (Please refer the attached presentation) and suggest the required section improvement.
According to my knowledge, fillet region would undergo two kind of stresses
1. Normal stress (stress due to axial load and bending stress due to moment arm from the fixed end)
hi guys,
can anyone tell me whether a semi rigid PVC foam can be analysed by taking shell 181 material and if possible please provide me with details regarding the layer configuration of this material type.
