Fellow iMechanicians,

the deadline for submission for the next European Solid Mechanics Conference has been extended to the 30th November.

The conference will be the "place-to-be" next year in the Solid Mechanics community, with a truly outstanding line-up for the plenary lectures.

In particular, I am co-organizing with Nicola Pugno a mini-symposium on Micro and Nano Mechanics

Converged, but to the right solution??

convergence

Hello eveybody,

I am confused in using numerical schemes: What can convergence of a numerical scheme tell us and what not??? lets assume that a numerical scheme does converge to "A result" or "A number", but how could we be sure that the scheme has actually converged to the "RIGHT solution" and not a WRONG one??

Any input is appreciated!

von Mises or Equivalent stress for Beam Elements

Beam Element

Are there analytical expressions for computing von Mises or equivalent stress at any point for Beam elements similar to the ones in continuum elements? I would like to design a structure with beam elements and ensure that the equivalent stress is within bounds (yield stress etc) for the structure to be safe.

Dear Colleagues:

We are organizing a symposium titled "To Yield or Not to Yield: Multiscale Perspectives in Plasticity and Failure of Materials" at the 2015 Mach conference, which will be held in Annapolis, MD, USA during April 8-10, 2015.  We cordially invite you to participate in the 2015 Mach Conference by giving a talk in our symposium.

Ph.D. position
Computational Solid Mechanics

I am seeking Ph.D. students to work on developing and using multiscale methods for modeling nanocomposites and nanomaterials. Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering, material science, civil engineering or other related areas. Candidates with computational solid mechanics experience at the continuum or molecular level are highly preferred.
