Dear iMechanicians,

I hope the present work on two-scale modelling of hydrogen permeation is of interest to you. A post-print is available at www.empaneda.com

Dear Mechanicians, dear colleagues, dear authors and readers of scientific publications,

With a few motivated colleagues, since two years we have been working on the creation of a new journal in mechanics. Our main motivation was to create a journal, which would be completely free for authors and readers, a high quality journal free of any commercial interest. And the work on the journal is almost completed, its title is

Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (JTCAM)

Join us for this webinar on Wednesday, May 20th, where we'll be looking at methods for identifying part defacts using Simpleware software.

We'll look at an example of working with a machined simple hole plate (usually used for CT calibration) to focus on tools useful for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the production of manufactured parts. We will show automated tools for segmentation and correction, as well as surface deviation, shape fitting and measurement tools.

Abstract:

Geometric incompatibilities are ubiquitous in natural structures and are recently being exploited in synthetic

structures to enhance the performance of soft systems. In this work we focus on infinitely long bi-layer

neo-Hookean tubes with radial incompatibilities, i.e. the outer radius of the inner tube is different than the inner
