Derivation of the bending stiffness from REBO potential -- Contribution from the dihedral term
Thanks to Marino, I have found the reason for the difference in our bending stiffness calculation. The original discussion is here:

Faculty Positions, Mechanical Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. This includes candidates whose research interests are in mechanical science and engineering but whose backgrounds are in another area of engineering, or in biology, chemistry, physics, or applied mathematics. Information about the department, and the relevant research areas, can be found at http://mechse.illinois.edu/.
Angle term in Modified Morse potential
Can any body give me source links to the basic formulation of the angle term of Modified Morse Potential, which gives the bond energy due to bond angle bending.
Angle term of the Modified Morse Potential is provided through the below paper.

Working for a journal in collaboration
I have been working in Numerical Simulation for sometime and would like to work with people who are familar with numerical simulation and are working for a certain paper right now or planning to work. I am located in Ethiopia. I am not familiar with the research community, and instructor in one of the university in the country. If you are interested, I am eager to work. As it is one way of helping me to introduce my self to the research community, while working on a certain paper, and further opens a way for addition works.
Thanks
Predicting the Young’s modulus of nanowires from first-principles calculations on their surface and bulk materials
Prof. Xiaodong Li and I are collaborating in identifying those physical mechanisms that govern the mechanical properties of nanomaterials. Recently, we have a manuscript accepted by the Journal of Applied Physics and would like to share it with you.
Mechanics thrives whenever it participates in advancing a new technology
This morning I was looking at the book Mechatronic Reliability by Wei Yang. The forword I wrote for the book brought back memories of days he and I spent in Santa Barbara and Princeton. The text of the forword follows.
the DEM's solutions for static mechanics seem strange
My own DEM(Discrete Element Method) program's solution for static problem seems strange.
I use my program to calculate the displacement of a cantilever under static pressure:
1. it seems my program shows convergence for static problem as the mesh gets denser. As the mesh grows denser(that means the particle becomes smaller), the displacement(of y direction) of the free tip becomes smaller.
Method to analyze programmable deformation of dielectric elastomer layers
As a complement to the current issue of journal club, I would like to bring your attention to our current work on dielectric elastomers.
