In the following video, I have tried to explain the concept of principal stress in a more physical way and without involving any mathematical equations, hope you can easily imbibe the concept.
Dear Friends,
The Soft Materials Mechanics Technical Committee would like to remind you that JULY 19th is the deadline for presentation only abstract submission. The ASME will not extend this deadline!
Please consider submitting abstract to “Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids” Track (12), Topic 12-22, “Mechanics of Soft Materials”
We are excited to host sessions related to the following topics:

Aalto University (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, is looking for a doctoral student for a study on the breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks under compressive loads. The fragmentation process is complicated and requires the use of novel modelling methods that can be used reliably on different scales. In addition to the computational work, we will perform experiments on this topic. We start the work using our inhouse FEM-DEM code (other approaches can be also used), while the experiments will be performed in the cold room of our department.
We in Aalto Univeristy (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, look for a post doc to join our group for a study on the breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks under compressive loads. The fragmentation process is complicated and requires the use of novel experiments and numerical models, and in this research, you will be working on both. The unique experiments on this topic will be performed in the cold room of the department. Numerical modelling will be done on a variety of scales.
REMINDER: The deadline for nominations for the AMD/ASME awards is September 15th, 2017.
Information and details on each of the awards are provided below.

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2017, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time the award is made.
We developed a Matlab toolbox (https://github.com/stabix) to analyze strain transfer in bicrystal and polycrystal, using EBSD and nanoindentation experimental data.
