A few days ago I had a good discussion with a dear colleague on the topic of the current state of scholarship in mechanics and the education of the new generation of mechanicians. During the past few decades most mechanics researchers have limited their activities to the writing of papers and research proposals. This because the “reward system” places little value to the authoring of monographs and textbooks. In fact the number of quality books produced during this period pales in comparison to those written by the giants of mechanics, including Timoshenko, Truesdall, etc.
How did one arrive at the red-underlined part in the equation (2) from differentiating equation (1)? Please see the picture:

Surface instability of compliant film/substrate bilayers has raised considerable interests due to its broad applications such as wrinkle-driven surface renewal and antifouling, shape-morphing for camouflaging skins, and micro/nano-scale surface patterning control. However, it is still a challenge to precisely predict and continuously trace secondary bifurcation transitions in the nonlinear post-buckling region. Here, we develop lattice models to precisely capture the nonlinear morphology evolution with multiple mode transitions that occur in the film/substrate systems.

In this paper we formulate the problem of elastodynamic transformation cloaking for Kirchhoff-Love plates and elastic plates with both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements. A cloaking transformation maps the boundary-value problem of an isotropic and homogeneous elastic plate (virtual problem) to that of an anisotropic and inhomogeneous elastic plate with a hole surrounded by a cloak that is to be designed (physical problem). For Kirchhoff-Love plates, the governing equation of the virtual plate is transformed to that of the physical plate up to an unknown scalar field.
A post-doctoral fellowship at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Looking for an individual with strong modeling and computational skills to conduct research in the area of machining, cutting, and tribology. The starting date is September 1, 2021. I prefer to make an offer by February 2021. For details contact Greg Rodin at gjr [at] oden.utexas.edu
