Running MD simulations with LAMMPS
In appendix A of my PhD thesis, I share a MATLAB code to get coordinates of carbon atoms in a graphene sheet. The code also generates the data file required for LAMMPS. In addition, I included a sample input and the corresponding output files from LAMMPS. I hope this will be useful for those who would like to learn MD simulations.
Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) package can also be used to obtain coordinates of graphene.
Tenure-track Faculty Position at NC State
The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) expects a tenure track faculty position to be filled in the area of Structural Engineering and Mechanics. Exceptional candidates in all areas within structural engineering and mechanics are encouraged to apply; applicants with expertise in modeling of structural systems or materials are of particular interest.
Recent paper on the flattening deformation of metal columns
This paper presents a theoretical and
experimental study on lateral compression of square and rectangular metal
columns. Some theoretical relations are derived to predict the absorbed energy,
the specific absorbed energy and the instantaneous lateral load during the
lateral compression. Analytical relations are obtained in two stages: elastic
and plastic parts. In the plastic zone, the total absorbed energy by the column
is calculated, based on the energy method. Then, an analytical equation is
derived to predict the instantaneous lateral load. In the elastic part, the
instantaneous load is obtained by linear behavior assumption. To verify the

Mechanical characterization and micromechanical modeling of bread dough. J.Rheol [http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.4768463]
The mechanical behavior of dough, gluten, and
starch was studied in an effort to investigate whether bread dough can be
treated as a two phase (starch and gluten) composite material. Mechanical
loading tests revealed rate-dependent behavior for both the starch and the
gluten constituents of dough. There is evidence from cryo-scanning electron
microscopy that damage in the form of debonding between starch and gluten
occurs when the sample is stretched. In addition, the Lodge material model was
found to deviate from the tension and shear stress-strain test data by a
