Using Acoustic Emission to Detect onset of Fracture

Submitted by Arash Karpour on

Hi Every one,

Dose any one know where I can get a good Manual/document on "detecting onset of fracture using acoustic emission"?

I heard some say this method of detecting onset of the fracture has lots of error and is not accurate..is this true? if yes,why? Are there other methods to find the onset of the fracture in an experiment?

 

Molecular Dynamics

Submitted by Sandip Haldar on

Hi,

I am a graduate student. I want to start learning Molecular Dynamics
specially in respest to Continuum Mechanics/Fracture Mechanics. Can anybody give me some
light about how to start or which textbook to start with?

 I want to use Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel

Simulator (LAMMPS) package (C++ version). Is there any group/person who is using this package? I need some help.
