JAM Special Issue on New Frontiers in the Mechanics of Materials
A meeting was held in Paris last summer on the occasion of Prof. Alan Needleman’s 70th birthday
The corresponding special issue in the Journal of Applied Mechanics is now online

Two PhD positions in computational mechanics at the University of Tennessee
Two PhD positions are currently available in the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). Research topics are in the following areas:
1. Modeling of aluminum alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity methods.
2. Fracture in composite materials using a Discontinuous Galerkin method for debonding
UMAT Dr Huang's Crystal Plasticity Code: help
Forums
Dear all,
I want to implement Dr Huang's code for polycrystals. I am stuck at two issues.
1. How do we define the orientation to each grain separately in the code ? (I believe we need to do it in texture.txti ?) I am not able to understand the texture.txti file.
2. What else would be different for a polycrystal CP umat implementation?
I apologize if my doubts are too basic. Please assist.
