Online Resource on Rotations with Rigid Body Dynamics Applications
Dear Colleague,
The online resource on rotations,
http://rotations.berkeley.edu,
has been operational now for nearly 7 years and has been recently updated with material from the literature. Among the latest additions, we note the following subjects:
USACM virtual workshop on Computational Nanomechanics - Student/postdoc competition for invited talk (Deadline: Feb 08)
We are writing to invite the mechanics community to participate in the upcoming U. S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) virtual thematic workshop on “New Trends and Open Challenges in Computational Mechanics: from nano to macroscale”, to be held online on March 25th and 26th, 2021.
Structure Genome: a Unified Multiscale Approach to Bridging Materials Genome and Structural Analysis
After almost seven years development, we have achieved more and more clarity with the concept of structure gene and it governing principles (mechanics of structure genome). My recent talk on MSG summarizes its relations with materials genome, common structural theories, micromechanics, multiscale modeling, as well as its current application to deployable structures, homogeneous 3D elements, machine learning assisted multiscale modeling. You can watch this talk at Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d5LuQrLpCM&t=5s.
