A New Discontinuous Galerkin Method For Non-linear Mechanics
A discontinuous Galerkin framework for large deformations of solids is established. The method is based on a general Hu-Washizu-de Veubeke functional allowing for displacement and stress discontinuities in the domain interior. The focus of this paper is on the treat- mentoflargeelasto-plastic deformations. The method is shown to possess the required numerical properties: consistency in the non-linear range and linearized stability.

Photoshop CS3 Extended - 3D Tutorial
In simplest terms, the bridge between Photoshop and DAZ Studio is much like a regular bridge in that it provides an easy way to transport your content from one application to the another and back again. In this case, the bridge is used to transport models and 3D elements from within DAZ Studio to Photoshop so that the models may be modified, combined, and used as a resource in your Photoshop documents ...

Finite Element Analysis Of Instability In Hypoelastic Materials
Assess the performance of the finite element method in analyzing the bifurcations of compressible materials. The specific objective is to understand the significance of the eigenvectors of the tangential stiffness matrix by comparing them with the analytical bifurcation modes which were obtained independently in the case of the plane strain compression of compressible hypoelastic materials. Although tested for a particular example, the finite element method can be applied to analyze the instability of more complicated boundary value problems encountered in the fields of Solids Mechanics, Structural Geology, and Geomechanics.

Dynamic Buckling Of A Thin Thermoviscoplastic Rectangular Plate
The dynamic buckling of a thin or thotropic thermoviscoplastic plate is studied by analyzing the stability of a stressed/deformed plate under superimposed infinitesimal perturbations. Elastic deformations are neglected. The wavelength of the perturbation that has the maximum initial growth rate is assumed to determine the buckled shape of the plate. The buckled shape of a rectangular plate loaded axially on two opposite edges thus ascertained is found to match well with the experimental findings.

Simultaneous Design for Manufacturing Process Selection of Engineering Plastics
This paper describes a methodology that helps designers select a manufacturing process for engineering plastics. For many advanced materials such as plastics, engineers must simultaneously select the material and its processing method while they develop the part geometry. Early comparison and determination of the manufacturing process will allow engineers to tailor the geometry to the selected process.
