In the framework of XP-Resilience, an inter/multi-disciplinary EU ITN programme including seven academic partners, one Institute of Applied Science and seven private companies from ten different European countries (see our previous post for further details), Columbian Carbon Europa (CCE) (http://www.birlacarbon.com/Webpages/privacypolicy.aspx) will recruit an ESR (Early-Stage Researcher), with enrolment in the PhD Programme in “Civil and Environmental Engineering” at Politecnico di Torino (POL

International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials - Registration Open

Submitted by Sophie Hayward on

The eleventh biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 18-24 September 2016. This prestigious and long running conference will bring together delegates from around the world to discuss how to characterize, predict, and analyze the fatigue damage of structural materials.

An analytical benchmark for MD codes: testing and correcting LAMMPS

Submitted by Antonino Favata on

In the attached paper, recently appeared on Computer Physics Communications, we have proposed an analytical benchmark and a simple consistent Mathematica program for graphene and carbon nanotubes, that may serve to test any molecular dynamics code implemented with REBO potentials. By exploiting the benchmark, we checked results produced by LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) when adopting the second generation Brenner potential, we made evident that this code in its current implementation produces results which are offset from those of the benchmark by a significant amount, and provided evidence of the reason.

introducing constant tempreture in a mass diffusion step

Submitted by vanos1989 on

hello ,

I want to introduce a  constant temperature  in a model of masse. Diffusion model must change of pace with the changes of the tempreture introduced.

I introduced the temperature under predifined field but it did not work.

How can I introduice tempreture to the model ?

thank you

Effects of Nanoporosity on the Mechanical Properties and Applications of Aerogels in Composite Structures

Submitted by Jingjie Yeo on

Newly published book chapter - http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-31662-8_4 Aerogels are ultralight solids with nanoporous structure and are one of the world’s lightest materials available in the market. It is a dry gel, principally made up of 99.8 % of air and weighing just around three times that of air. The first aerogels were realized in 1931, when Kistler (J Phys Chem 36:52–64, 1932) attempted to remove liquid from a wet gel.

A 3D Lattice Modelling Study of Drying Shrinkage Damage in Concrete Repair Systems

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

A member of our research group at TU Delft has recently published a paper entitled "A 3D Lattice Modelling Study of Drying Shrinkage Damage in Concrete Repair Systems" in the Materials journal. The paper is published as open access and the full text can be found at: http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/9/7/575.
