Vicky Nguyen and Kaushik Dayal are Recipients of the Inaugural Eshleby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty
It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the inaugural competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award, created in 2012, will be annually given to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University).
radial reynolds number
Hello,
I am working in a fluid mechanics theme. Do anybody now something about the Radial Reynolds Number?
Thank you.

I would like to know a suitable way to generate meshs for fractal surfaces and export them to be used in FEM computations.
Thank you for any help.
curvature tensor
Could someone explain me what do the curvature tensor mean at surface structures?
THX for the help!
I want to combine XFEM and UMAT(about concrete) in ABAQUS
DEAR everyone :
I want to combine XFEM and UMAT(about concrete) in ABAQUS,I have some questions about this ,concrete is a Special materials and I have the Constitutive equation about concrete ;Can I use the new constitutive equation and simulate mixed CONCRETE cracking by XFEM(UEL_XFEM) in ABAQUS,how to combine UEL and UMAT in abaqus, thanks in advance,or you can Recommend some relative infomation for me
Journal of Applied Mechanics Award
The Journal of Applied Mechanics Award is provided by the Applied
Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers to honor the
best paper which has been published in the Journal of Applied Mechanics during
the two calendar years immediately preceding the year of the award. The award
will be made annually to the corresponding author of the paper who received their
Ph.D. no more than 10 years prior to July 1 of the year of award. Corresponding
authors who have yet to receive a Ph.D. may also be considered. The award will

Hi everybody,
I have some problems with the structural analysis of an drive bullwheel on Ansys.
How can I apply the load on the bullwheel groove?
Tangential (constant) and normal components
I was thinking to apply the normal load using a prep>loads>define_loads>apply>FUNCTIONS but I'm not good at this option. Is it necessary to define a particular coordinate system?

I am working on the vibratory simulation of engin cooling system. Now
i want to add the component of rubber isolators , the idea is to add
the spring element ,we have tested the dynamic stiffness during range
of 5-100HZ , i konw that in ANSYS we can use the matrix 27 element to define the dynamic stiffness ,but how can i set the values in abaqus or inp files.
Thanks for your helps!
