Seeking US citizen MS/PhD applicants with computational mechanics background

Submitted by Jeffrey L Cipolla on

Hello - trying AGAIN to get this to post. I'm seeking applicants with computational mechanics background for new work in security applications. Areas include blast, failure, acoustics, and related fields. Security requirements dictate that we must have US citizens for this work - sorry, I know that's restrictive. Please feel free to email me at cipolla [at] wai.com (cipolla[at]wai[dot]com) for inquiries and details.

Hi, Greetings from Taipei

Submitted by wikarta on

Hi everyone,

Now I am master student in National Taiwan University of Science & Technology (NTUST) in Taipei, Taiwan. I come from Indonesia, this is my second year in Taipei. Since last month, I have conducted research about thermoelasticity using complex variable methods, conformal mapping, and analytical continuation. My adviser is Prof C.K. Chao . Does anyone know him?

I hope can find useful information and get more knowledge from this web.  Thank you.

What is the meaning of nonhardening Material

Submitted by Y. Wang on

I am getting confused with a definition of nonhardened Material as I read the book Fracture Mechanics written by T.L. Anderson.

I got two understandings and am not sure which one is right.

1)    Material with lower yield strenth, which was not work-hardened.

2)    d(stress)/d(strain) = 0 after yielding.

Prior Courses in Solid Mechanics:

Elasticity, Strength of Material, Plasticity, Theoretical Mechanics, Advanced Solid Mechanics, Computational Mechanics

Undergraduate Major:

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

Strength Related to This Course:

I have already known some basic theories in elasticity and plasticity, so I guess it might be a little easier for me to understand the theoretical part taught in this course.
