I'd like to know something about Carbon Fiber

Submitted by aitang on

Dear all,

 Recently I got something info from my colleagues about Carbon Fiber. Now more and more this kind material is using in Aerospace, and it has a very nice future.

As it's very abrasive when cutting it, so there's lots of problems for machining.

So, could you anyone give me some info about this material? or where can I go for it?

 thanks a lot

Molecular dynamics-Isothermal

Submitted by prasadmvd on

How we can examine the equilibrium state of a Isothermal molecular system..

I am doing a code for MD with scaling the velocities to keep the temp. constant..so here with that energy is not conserved..so wat is the measure to fix the number of time steps  to stop the run at equilibrium state..

damage mechanics

Submitted by nilesh on

Hi , I am a  working on a project of  Continuum Damage mechanics in Composite . But  I do not have much idea about Damage mechanics . I am getting lot of diffculites to understand this topic .

   So please  anyone let me know any basic literature, lecture notes where I can find all basic information about Damage mechanics .

Thanks in Advance,

Regards.

  • The Institute of High
    Performance Computing (IHPC), a member of the Agency for Science,
    Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, invites applications for
    eight available positions for research scientists in the field of
    theoretical and computational mechanics and materials science. These
    positions are in conjunction with the A*STAR-sponsored Visiting
    Investigatorship Program (VIP) led by Prof. Huajian Gao from Brown University who is the Principle Investigator.

Influence of depolarization field on polarization states in epitaxial ferroelectric thin films with biaxial misfit strains

Submitted by Jie Wang on

Depolarization field and misfit strain are two important factors that may greatly influence the properties of ferroelectric thin films. The effect of depolarization field on polarization states of single-domain ferroelectric thin films with nonequally biaxial in-plane misfit strains are studied in the present work by numerically solving three coupled Euler-Lagrange equations, which are derived from the minimization of total free energy.
