Description for ABAQUS Assignment
For my semester project, I will investigate equilibrium geometries of ripples in an elastic sheet. In order to do so, I will need to learn how to study out of plane bending of a thin membrane with ABAQUS. The project can be divided into the following stages:
1. Set up the membrane geometry model in ABAQUS
2. Apply relevant boundary conditions and tractions
3. Set up the job
4. Run the job, and post-process
How to analyze a short arc using elastic mechanics?
Hello, everyone, I am a freshman here, and I am very happy to find this place as a mechanics student. Hope to communicate with everyone here.
I am studying a hole effected by surface effect. I want to know how to analyze the stress on a short arc.
If you know about it, and you are willing to share it with me, I will be very grateful about it!
Post-doct position : Isogeometry-based analysis and design
INRIA (the French national institute for research in computer science and control) has currently eight centres, and the Opale Project-Team is primarily located in the Sophia Antipolis Centre, near the city of Antibes. Our research focuses on functional and numerical analysis, and numerical simulation, with a special emphasis on optimization in science and engineering (compressible aerodynamics, electromagnetics, structural design, etc) with strong links with industry.
Balance Laws in Continua with Microstructure
This paper revisits continua with microstructure from a geometric point of view. We model a structured continuum as a triplet of Riemannian manifolds: a material manifold, the ambient space manifold of material particles and a director field manifold. Green-Naghdi-Rivlin theorem and its extensions for structured continua are critically reviewed.
Elastic deformation of substrate due to rotation of rigid pillar
Consider a ridig pillar ontop of a elastic substrate. Applying a moment to the pillar will lead to elastic deformation of the substrate. If the pillar is infinitly large in diameter, then this problem is the same as an infinitely sharp crack, considering the symmetry of the crack problem, i.e. there are square root singularities. However, the infinitly large diameter assumtion does not hold if the global rotation of the substrate under the pillar is of interest, because the both sides of the pillar interact.
Lecture notes on "Elasticity" and "Statistical Mechanics"
The lecture notes of the two courses I taught at Stanford University during the last two quarters, "ME 340 Elasticity" and "ME 334 Introduction to Statistical Mechanics", are available in PDF format online at:

Perhaps it could be useful to you.
Energy Balance Invariance for Interacting Particle Systems
This paper studies the invariance of balance of
energy for a system of interacting particles under groups of
transformations. Balance of energy and its invariance is first
examined in Euclidean space. Unlike the case of continuous media,
it is shown that conservation and balance laws do not follow
from the assumption of invariance of balance of energy under
time-dependent isometries of the ambient space. However, the
postulate of invariance of balance of energy under arbitrary
