"CALL FOR PAPERS: Materials Modeling: Recent Progress in Metal and ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-07 14:32:09

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers to discuss recent research advances and challenges in modeling of coat and ceramic based materials. The development of various models that capture and predict the fundamental insights and structure-property relationships across various time and length scales will go the design of micro/macro structural systems and devices for survivability and multi functionality which often involves emerging high-technology materials. The current research in computational materials science focuses on understanding the mechanics structure-property relationships stability and the create by mental act of these high-technology materials. This symposium will carry together researchers in the industry and academia focusing on the development and application of computational models at all time and length scales so as to reduce the dependence on experimental and empirical measurements. The symposium will allow for an understanding in the current capabilities and challenges in order to build an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) capability for metal and ceramic based materials. The symposium invites abstracts to discuss the recent progress in the areas of continuum modeling molecular dynamics. Monte Carlo methods abinitio calculations etc. in the following areas: * Mechanical properties/mechanics of nano-/poly-crystalline materials * Development and application of computational tools to chew over multi-component systems * Multiscale modeling This symposium will focus on development and application of new methods of modeling across all time and length scales for the emerging high-technology materials.

"On Dill's book on Continuum Mechanics" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 18:10:59

[]. In page 75 of the book we sight thewell known result that the constitutive equation for an isotropic hypoelasticmaterial can be derived from a stored energy function only if The derivation of this prove can be traced to "a straightfowrad calculation" mentioned in an important 1984 cover by Simo and Pister []. Unfortunately the calculation is not turning out to be particularly straightforward for me. Any help in deriving this prove will be appreciated. Typically for isotropic hypoelastic materials we assume that the spatial elasticity tensor has the form I cognise that it's bad form to post the first comment on my own post. However. I wanted to write down a couple of things about Dill's book before I forgot. 1) Dill's book is the best I have seen among the recent spate of books on continuum mechanics. It gives you a large number of interesting and useful results for finite deformation problems that are hard to track drink elsewhere. The book may well be suited for use as a text but I'm not sure yet. 2) If you are interested in material models the book is excellent. A number of models are presented. However. I found that the sections on anisotropic finite elasticity and finite plasticity were too brief to be of much use. You will have to read the original literature for anisotropic finite elasticity and Simo and Hughes schedule still remains the best for finite plasticity. 3) The biggest shortcoming of this schedule and most other books on continuum mechanics is the total lack of experimental context. We have a ton of nice models. I and many other students would like to know how to cause model parameters using experiments. For large deformation problems that can be nontrivial. The saving grace is that bits and pieces of ideas can be found in the literature. It's measure that all that information was collected and put in easily digestible form in a continuum mechanics book. convey you very much for this helpful note. I didn't know about this new book. After reading your recommendation. I have just requested that our Library order a copy. Your remarks on relating models of complex material behaviors to experimental data are right on. This sounds like an excellent furnish for jClub. Any thoughts on leading such a furnish? I can't claim to have expertise on experimental data except in a very change range on high strain rate plasticity of metals. However. I accept Rebecca Brannon has a broader view of things - as far as plasticity.

"Keeping mechanics honest?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 19:45:09

Julian Edgar. 44 has been writing about car modification and automotive technology for 17 years. He has owned cars with two three four five six and eight cylinders; hit turbo twin turbo supercharged diesel and hybrid electric drivelines. He lists his automotive interests as turbocharging aerodynamics suspension design and human powered vehicles. Seems like a good idea. I’m sure we all undergo a story of a friend/relative who was ripped off at some stage. Having said that though unless they actually be at the car themselves how are they going to know whether you’re being charged for something you don’t be apart from things that really rest out as odd by asking a few questions? Even in the example of his grandmother she could give ausquote a copy of a quote listing $1,500 worth of bring home the bacon needed for a road worthy but unless they be at the car themselves how can they experience it only needed a headlight globe? Unless I’ve missed something their website just seems to say they analyse the ingeminate ie: if his grandmother got a quote that said “dress headlight globe: $1,500″ they would be onto something…. I can only see this system working if the mechanics are quoting above retail prices for parts and excessive labour charges for bring home the bacon performed. It could also be said that if “up selling” or “over servicing” was involved an experienced mechanic would within cerebrate be able to at least warn the customer that it would be unusual for a car to need work specified. I heard this week that some mechanics in melbourne are on percentage bonuses for upselling jobs IE car comes in for $150 service customer is rung with a list of bring home the bacon that should be done immeadiately and before they experience it the account is now $900. The up change was $750 X 15% the mechanic picks up 112.5. This is from a very reliable obtain and I am an ex-mechanic and have been in the industry for 28 years. Can’t see the sense in this. My experience - Recently needed a road-worthy on a come up maintained and regularly serviced Toyota Corolla. Local store came approve saying it needed a sump gasket ( car had never dropped oil) and new wiper blades (mechanic said those fancy silicon blades only last a few months !!! so he had put in a good coat set -$24 !!- I could undergo cried ) but I needed that cert so just shut up and paid. I know I was ripped off. How could anyone who could not see the car analyse this. I suspect we are all ripped off in small amounts and take it as the cost off doing business.

"Mechanics, Vector problem" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 18:25:20

1. The problem statement all variables and given/known data First of all I will undergo to apologize if this in in the wrong forum. It is a 1st year engineering mechanics problem. I am having an air solving a secondary move of a question. The first move of the challenge has asked me to both graphically and numerically cause a resultant of three forces acting on an object with magnitude and angles for all given. This was straightforward. I am now being asked to cause a fourth Force such that the resultant R of all the four forces will be vertical (90 degrees) and has a magnitude of 750 N. I have done this challenge graphically but am wondering how I go about doing it numerically. just buy using trig etc thanks much. 3. The act at a solution i undergo thus far determined that my previous resultant compel was 821 N at 87 degrees North of East. I have therefore now said that my resultant is going to have to = 750 N so 750 = (sum Fx + sum Fy)^(1/2). I am just unsure how I would go about getting two unkowns from this methodology the X component and Y component of the unkown vector.. What is the x - component of your 821N force ? Add to that and the x-component of your new compel and you get 0 solve for the x-component of the new compel. same way understand for the y-component. come up the last resultant at a magnitude of 821N had 50.0007N (X-component) and 819.181N (Y component). Direction was 86.5 degrees N of E Now I need to add a Force such the new resultant ordain be 750N and vertical (or 90 degrees). I guess what I am saying is. I don't know how to get the X or Y component for my new compel becuase I don't know what it ordain be.

"WoW Forums: Rays' LoS mechanics broken?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 18:38:00

About a week ago we reported on LoS or Line of Sight discussions on the side of the World of Warcraft Forums and well the air has stretched its clammy hands to this align of the Atlantic. A player named Ticonys from Firetree pointed out that ray type spells are ignoring the rules of LoS poster came by the go and answered the query: Yes that's how they're supposed to bring home the bacon. Generally when attacking you want to be at maximum range that allows plenty of time between you and the aim to get out as many casts as possible. Now for a straight up direct and fly recite it's direct it's on it's way and that's it it's going to hit. For the channeled spells (I had actually never heard them called "rays" before today we call the cause a "beam" usually) you direct and you direct and that damage can be interrupted or broken. To accept some choose of leeway some furnish so that at max range it isn't just instantly wasted all of the measure (which would happen a lot especially in PvE) it's given a little extra dwell to change and go. The rules of Line of comprehend ( by fellow writer. Tim Y.) are a bit iffy on channeled spells. Channeled spells desire Mind Flay won't balance when the aim is out of LoS for example if the aim goes behind a pillar or turns a bend. Those types of spells ordain act effect once the target is within comprehend again. Anyway we'll act you posted on more as they come about until then be tuned.
