Many of us will be teaching remotely soon.  I wonder what is most effective when it comes to mechanics.

In our department we have been having meetings to help professors figure out what is the approach to the online teaching modality.  There have been lots of suggestions:

Introducing Ansys Innovation Courses

Submitted by bhargavasista on

ANSYS, Inc. has been investing time and resources into their knowledge resources and academic program and their recent contribution to the community is the "Ansys Innovation Courses". These are on-demand physics-based courses that are free for everyone which empowers students and professionals to visualize, reinforce, and rapidly master key physics concepts, with the help of simulations.

An improved semi-analytical solution for stress at round-tip notches

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

Highlights

 

A semi-analytical model is developed for the notch tip maximum stress.

Application of the formula to U and blunt V-notches is demonstrated.

The results can be used to assess the brittle failure of notched components.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of a Polymer-Metal Interface in LAMMPS

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

We are currently investigating the impact resistance of multilayers using molecular dynamics. This project showed us that modeling material interfaces could be challenging even for someone with a background in atomic simulations. Therefore, we thought of sharing some useful information and the LAMMPS input files to model the aluminum-polyurethane interface (shown above). Please see here: https://github.com/nuwan-d/polymer_metal_interface
