Many in this community may have heard the sad news of the passing last weekend of Michael Carroll. Two obituaries have been posted: one at U.C. Berkeley where he was a faculty member for many years and another at Rice University where he was a former Dean of the College of Engineering.

Hi everyone
I am working on vumat subroutine for abaqus explicit. I know in the umat, the subroutine is called for each integration points. There are an argument that stand for integration number. So, I can output information (such as deformation gradient, stress ...) for each integration point.
However, in vumat, there's no arguments for integration points. I can only output element numbers. My question is, for an element with four integration points, how can I output information for each integration point? How the vumat is called for each integration point? Thank you!
Hello everybody
well i am new in modeling of polymers in abaqus. I would like to test the uniaxial test in traction of polyrethane. I did the experimental test i took the data (strain and stress) and used it in modeling in abaqus the numerical test. i chosed the hyperelastic response. My question is :
is my choice good (hyperelastic behaviior)
when i run the job i have no permanent deformation but when i unload the specimen return to its initial position.
Any suggestion or help please
Please help me in arranging the following research paper:
H. Kitagawa, S. Takahashi, "Applicability of fracture mechanics to very small cracks or the cracks in the early stage", Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. Mech. Behaviour of Materials, Boston, p. 627-631, 1976.
Thanks In advance

The project is between BITS Pilani (India) and Wuhan University (China), funded by the Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India. It is in the area of computational fracture mechanics.
Details of the project and application process is in the attachment.
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your 1 page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS11) "Instabilities and Bifurcations in Solids, Structures and Soft Materials" in 2016 EMI International Conference – Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference of ASCE.
Zhejiang University (ZJU) is one of the earliest and most prestigious universities in China. Department of Engineering Mechanics, taking comprehensive advantages of ZJU and School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, focuses on multidisciplinary research in Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Dynamics and Control. ZJU is seeking faculty candidates for its newly launched, highly competitive and well-funded “Hundred Talents Program” according to the tenure-track rules.
Planck submitted his doctoral dissertation in 1879, at the age of 21. According to Planck’s autobiography, his dissertation elaborated on Clausius's entropy and its role in distinguishing reversible and irreversible processes. His dissertation failed to interest his professors, Helmholtz and Kirchhoff among them. Planck subsequently, as a young academic, applied the principle of the increase of entropy to analyze phases and ideal-gas mixtures.
