Anisotropic Green's Function
Can anybody tell whether there is any closed form solution for Green's function in an anisotropic material? If yes it would be great if you share some of the literatures on this topic.

My name's Alison Forsyth, I'm a G2 biomedical engineer at Harvard. I did my undergrad at Syracuse University where I majored in bioengineering. Prior courses in solid mechanics are: mechanics of materials, materials processing and properties, and advanced biomechanics.
Hello
Hi,
I am currently working as a Design Engineer-CAE in Bangalore,India.Presently interested in doing a MS/Mtech in the field of Mechanical Design and analysis through a distance learning program/part time course.It would be great if someone suggests an university(in India/abroad) where these kind of courses are offered.
Regards,
Ankita
20th Annual Melosh Competition at Duke University
The 20th Annual Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis will be held at Duke University on April 25, 2008. The competition has become one of the premier graduate student events in the broad area of mechanics. We have held the competition at a variety of locations over the past several years, and this year we are returning to Durham.
balance the advanced discussions and teaching activities in iMechanica
Dear Moderators:
Is there anyway not to show the posts from my class (including mine) on “recent comments”?
Too many student posts (around 170 students) and my discussions with them will crowd the space of the "recent comments" section, which should be reserved for more advanced discussions that come up.
Any other suggestions on the classroom behaviours that may not be appropriate for iMechanica?

I know the following: In linear FE analysis with linear constitutive law, say CST, there will not be any discontinuity across the adjacent (or neighboring) elements, for any of the fields---displacements, strains or stresses. But I do have certain questions that are not very well addressed in the introductory FEM texts:
(i) Assuming a displacement-based formulation, under what conditions would you expect discontinuities (or inter-element banding) to possibly appear in: (a) stresses? (b) strains? (c) displacements?
