Dear friends:

Prof. Patrizio Neff has asked me to post the attached recent paper on Logarithmic Strain. It looks quite interesting (I haven’t read it yet).

The PhD student will work with Dr. Ling Liu in the broad area of materials modeling and simulation. Materials of interest include self-assembled macromolecules, electrode materials, spider silk, irradiated materials, and nanocomposites. Our webpage is:http://www.engr.usu.edu/mae/faculty/liu/

If you are interested, please contact Dr. Ling Liu at liu.usu [at] gmail.com (liu[dot]usu[at]gmail[dot]com).

Please recommend a good mechanics of material book

education

I am teaching mechanics of materials to sophomore. However, our students do not have a separate static course. They get a some exposure to free body diagrams in particle dynamics. I am currently using the book by Gere and Goodno. But I found that both the teaching and learning experience were not good. Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions!

UEL visualization and strain energy for UEL

User subroutines in ABAQUS

UEL ABAQUS

I am only seeing a "x" for a UEL at its first node. And I dont see any other node of UEL. Is it correct or some problem is there?

I also want to calculate the strain energy for whole model(including UEL). But in history output I am only seeing strain energy of Abaqus defined elements under "whole model strain energy". Can some one please help me in calculating strain energy of whole model including UELs
