Micropolar Elasticity
Hi ,
I want to learn about micropolar linear elastic theory. Could anyone pls guide me which book/article/journal is best suited for a beginner in this area. I have quiet good background in basic solid mechanics, FEM and Dynamics.
Thanks in advance
in-situ Young's moduli of the constitutive layers in a multilayer systems (e.g. thin films, SOFCs, TBCs etc.)
This recent article presents an improved methodology to calculate in-situ Young's moduli of the constitutive layers in a multilayer systems (e.g. thin films, SOFCs, TBCs etc.)

Dear Colleagues,
Postdoc position in Paris on generalized continua modelling and experiments
THIS POSITION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
A postdoctoral fellowship is available at Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech) to work on generalized continua modeling.
Geometric nonlinearity
I am trying to write my own code for geometrically nonlinear analysis of mixed structures (cables, trusses, beams...). I would like to have it as general as possible ie. applicable also to 2D and 3D solids. I am trying to follow nonincremental Newton Raphson procedure from Ansys theory manual, but my computation are not converging.. Can I kindly ask you for advice ?
Here is my flow:
=== Linear analysis ===
(1) inv Kt *F = du
resluts are correct comparing to Ansys
=== Nonlinear analysis ===
while (F_ext - F_int) < 1e-3
(2) u = u +du
Experiment.com: Can molecules make music?
Experiment.com is a crowdfunding site for research (a Kickstarter for science!).
Open to all, a target amount for a project is set, and funds are raised through small individual donations. The success is based on how many people like your idea. It's kind of a fun/alternative idea to traditional grant sources! If you have an interesting idea, I recommend it.
