pyLife workshop

Submitted by pragtic on

During next week, on September 14-15, we hold a pyLife workshop at the FME Czech Technical University in Prague, Czechia. pyLife is a Python-based open-source library built previously mostly by colleagues from Bosch to deal with the fatigue life estimation (see https://github.com/boschresearch/pylife).

Multiscale deep learning for woven composites

Submitted by Mirkhalaf on

Woven composites exhibit a complex hierarchical structure with multiple heterogeneous sub-scales, stemming from microscale fiber arrangements and mesoscale interlacing patterns, necessitating sophisticated modeling approaches to accurately capture their intricate multiscale nature.

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2023, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time

Congrats to my colleagues for their new center at Brown: MUSE

Submitted by mbessa on

In the past 3 years, Brown Engineering faculty led by Professor Yuri Bazilevs with co-directors Professors Kenny Breuer and Pradeep Guduru have won more than $15 million in awards for research in Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE). This was made possible by partnering with Naval researchers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I.

This center may bring great opportunities for doing doctoral and postdoctoral research at Brown. I look forward to interacting with new colleagues and following the progress of MUSE.

Accretion-Ablation Mechanics

Submitted by arash_yavari on
In this paper we formulate a geometric nonlinear theory of the mechanics of accreting-ablating bodies. This is a generalization of the theory of accretion mechanics of Sozio and Yavari (2019). More specifically, we are interested in large deformation analysis of bodies that undergo a continuous and simultaneous accretion and ablation on their boundaries while under external loads.
