Nonconservative Stability Problems of Modern Physics

Submitted by Oleg Kirillov on

This monograph gives a complete overview on the subject of nonconservative stability from the modern point of view. Relevant mathematical concepts are presented, as well as rigorous stability results and numerous classical and contemporary examples from mechanics and physics.

European computational mechanics degrees

Submitted by mohamedmoussa on

I'm looking for a good quality master's degree in computational mechanics. I currently live in Australia, and would prefer to study in Europe (must be an English based program as well). I have undergradaute degrees in mechanical engineering and computer science.



Two main degrees that stick out for me are the ones at the University of Stuttgart, and the Technical University of Munich.

Those were not waves: A bit historical re. Huygens' principle

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

A few points that might be of general interest:

1. The dates: The date of Huygens' first written down material, which was orally presented to the French Academy of Sciences, is 1678---in contrast to the oft-quoted date of 1690. 1690 was the year of the first, French, publication of these notes (plus other material) in the form of a book.

How are Compression Modulus and Tensile Modulus related to Lame` constants?

Submitted by Nikhil Sharma on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hello everyone

I have a material with a compression modulus and tensile modulus along with Poisson's ratio. Are compression modulus and tensile modulus related to the Lame` constants? Or does this material fall under 'cubic symmetry' which needs three elastic constants? In that case, how are they related to the elastic coefficients (C12, C44 or C11)?

I need to incorporate these material properties in ABAQUS. How do I model this material in ABAQUS?

Any lead on this problem is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
