A short course on "stability analysis and bifurcation theory" by Ryan Elliott
With a growing interest in soft materials, stability and bifurcation analysis is re-emerging to be a critical topic for mechanicians. There are some excellent books out there but most tend to focus on finite dimensional systems rather than (continuous) infinite dimensional systems which are of most interest to mechanicians. In general, much of the modern developments on this topic are scattered across journal papers and perhaps there are not too many pedagogical resources for beginners.

How to find RHT Concrete Parameters
I want to perform simulation usinng Ansys Autodyn or Abaqus. Acutally I am new to FEM softwares. For the simulation I want to use RHT concrete model, however, the concrete is has f'c of about 3000psi or 20Mpa or less. Ansys Autodyn has RHT models for 35Mpa and 140MPa concrete and Abaqus has none. Kindly if you can help me find out the parameters for 20Mpa concrete. If any tests are needed to find the parameters, kindly provide me a list and refer me any source.
Interesting 3D Printed Parts for Young STEM Students
Hello -
I am curious if anyone has used a 3D printer to demonstrate mechanics of materials to secondary school (or younger) students. Please let me know if you are aware of a curriculum/have ideas based on this idea.

Numerical analysis on friction pads - script analysis
Forums
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica
Hello there. My name is Angela and I am a civil engineering student finishing my master thesis. The subject of my thesis is numerical simulation of a friction pad which is subjected to several cycles of 30 mm amplitude deformation (allowed due to the existance of slotted holes). I have to report the frictional behavior of the specimen and for that I have experimental Data. The variation of the friction coefficient can be due to wearing of the plates and, consequently, loss of preload (which was not measured experimentally) and also some strain hardening of the asperities, ...

RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2)
The RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2) provides the opportunity for participants to become familiar with modelling cementitious materials at four different levels of detail. Different ways of schematization and numerical approaches are considered to simulate the chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour of cementitious materials.
