Dear Colleague,
We are sending you this message to let you know that the Aifantis International Symposium, dedicated to the life time achievements of Prof. Elias C. Aifantis, Emeritus Professor, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, USA and Honorary Professor, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece, will be held from 4-9 October 2015 in Antalya, Turkey.
I am taking a course in Bayesian statistics, which is off my field. In the lecture notes, the instructor showed
E[X^2n] = (2n-1) σ^2n
and E[X^3 . Y] = E[Y^3 . X] = 3.ρ.σ^4
where σ = variance
E = expectation
X is a random variable.
ρ = cor(XY) = E[XY]/σ^2
Can anyone kindly explain how these equations were derived or atleast point me towards some text where I can understand this? Is this to do with the moment generating function?
I thought this might be of interest for some imechanicans, particularly those who work on composites (anisotropic and/or heterogeneous materials). Sorry if it sounds a bit infomercial.
Imagine a youtube-like environment for you to deploy a cloud version of your code without any change to your original code. Your research code can be immediately shared with the global community.

Dear,
I am having problem to find "Cauchy stress(σ) " and " Spatial elastic Tensor (c)" from the "strain energy function (ψ)" using 2nd Piola Kirchhoff stress ( S) of transversely isotropic hyper-elastic material. as per the Mechanics the

Now I can say whatever I like in my Timoshenko Lecture and it won’t matter – because you will only remember Ken Liechti playing the bagpipes and, perhaps, the kilts. Thank you Ken.
