在新书健民:祝贺你!谢谢你u so much for posting the news in iMechanica. The new book reminds me of the days when I was a graduate student, studying the papers by you and John Bassani on cracks on an interface between two anisotropic materials.

Your publisher has sent my a copy of the book. It looks excellent. I've asked our library to order a copy of the book, and place it on the reserve list for a course I'm teaching.

Hi All,

Could anyone anyone please tell me how to model a periodic representative volume element in ABAQUS. I tried doing it by creating 2 parts, one a rectangular matrix-part with a square or circular hollow space in the center to accomodate and the second one that represents fiber or inclusion. Then defined 2 materials, each for matrix and inclusion. Finally assemble the two part instances in assembly module. Giving appropriate boundary conditions and loads, meshing the assembly and submitted he job. But it gives error messege:(For heat Transfer problem) No valid output requests have been generated, this may be due to earlier input error or specifications of a non-existant cavity or surface name.The second error messege is: A heat transfer analysis is not meaningful as there is no temperature degrees of freedom in the model.

I followed the same procedure to model the same heat transfer problem using a shell element with a single homogeneous material, the analysis runs well and gives nice results.

Please give suggestions.

Thanks

Dear Professor Qu

I am a rather fresh PhD-student who is working on shape memory alloys. The main focus of my work will be on the effect of inclusions on SMA's properties and behaviour. I have taken no formal courses in micromechanics so I basically need to learn it from scratch by myself. I retrieved your book from my supervisor Prof. Zhiliang Zhang and it seems to be a good introduction to micromechanics, which is what I need. My idea is to thoroughly work trough your book to get a basic understanding of this topic. So my question to you is: Have you made solutions to the problems in teh book? And if you do, is it possible to receive a copy of these? It would be very helpful to me at the present stage of my work.

Best Regards
