I finished the grad course on Mechanics of Soft Materials. It took 14 weeks with 2 academic hours per week and it covered the following topics: 1 Tensors 2 Kinematics 3 Balance laws 4 Isotropic elasticity 5 Anisotropic elasticity 6 Viscoelasticity 7 Chemo-mechanical coupling 8 Electro-mechanical coupling.
I attach the class notes and I will be grateful for the remarks, corrections, and criticism from iMechanicians.
I am pursuing my Ph.D.in Soft Contact Manipulation. I want to understand Hertz Contact Model very clearly.Can any one help me to understand it or Give me some helping material. It is very difficult to understand it from Contact Mechanics (K.L. Johnson).
A Summer School on Fracture will be held at the Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese, in Cargese, from June 7 to June 18, 2010. This is jointly organized by Elisabeth Bouchaud, CEA Saclay and Krishnaswamy Ravi-Chandar, University of Texas at Austin.

Dear Colleagues,
IOSO optimization technology has been used in turbomachinery for more than 20 years and applied on real-life objects like aircraft and power engines. Let me offer you some more examples.
First example:
These notes were prepared when I taught fracture mechanics in 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014. I hope to start a conversation at a new post entitled Division of Labor.

Hi all. I'm interesting biomechanics. I'd like to design the connection of knee in ABAQUS. Who can help me, how I can finitness of the bones? Thanks in advance.

Gyroscopic effects is a very old topic.
When reading
literature, I am confused by the two concepts: "gyroscopic moment", and
"Coriolis force". Are they exactly the same thing or different? what's
the difference between them if different?
