Micromechanics-based phase field fracture modelling of CNT composites

Submitted by Leonel_Quinteros on

 

Dear iMechanicians,

 

 I hope you find the following article useful. We develop the first phase field fracture formulation for CNT-based composites. A mean-field homogenisation approach is combined with a micromechanical description of carbon nanotube's fracture and pull-out, including the agglomeration effect.

Postdoc position at the University at Buffalo – SUNY (Elastic Metamaterials)

Submitted by Mostafa Nouh on

The Sound and Vibrations Lab (http://svl.eng.buffalo.edu), directed by Prof. Mostafa Nouh at the University at Buffalo – SUNY, has an opening for a postdoc position in the areas of phononics and elastic metamaterials. The position is supported by an NSF project whose main objective is to investigate the mechanics of space-time-periodic material systems operating within asymmetric, nonreciprocal, non-Hermitian, and/or frequency-selective regimes.

A comment on a hybrid asperity-Persson friction rubber theory by A Emami, S Khaleghian and S Taheri. Friction 9(6): 1707--1725 (2021)

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

dear collegues, I may be interested to share your views on an "asperity theory" modified Persson's rubber friction contact mechanics theory which I find not clearly motivated and seems to lead to erroneous conclusions ---- but I am also unable to reproduce the results claimed by the authors. The preprint is here, and the original paper attached: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359392510
