Professor of theoretical and computational mechanics

[Sanjay Govindjee @SGovindjee]

After an enjoyable couple of years working with Bob Taylor, I am pleased to announce the 8th Edition of Volume 1 of the Zienkiewicz and Taylor series. The new edition has been heavily re-worked and notably contains introductory chapters on coupled field problems.

@NguyenLabJHU Thanks! It was fun to work with you and your students on this paper.

[Sanjay Govindjee @SGovindjee]

@ShengqiangCai @NguyenLabJHU @CretonCost Thanks. And thanks for the experiment.

[Sanjay Govindjee @SGovindjee]

Finally uploaded our report with the @NguyenLabJHU group on finite elements for liquid crystal elastomers, some of which was completed while visiting @CretonCost at ESPCI. It includes a simulation of @ShengqiangCai 's great LCE balloon experiment.

@AjayResearchLab Good universities have the confidence to evaluate the quality of their faculty members’ publications and they do do it as you suggest.

Returning home from the @Cal_Engineer @BerkeleyCee @NHE_SimCenter #NHERICompSym meeting at the @luskinhotella at @UCLA . I was great to see how much the SimCenter has grown in the past year under Matt DeJong's new leadership along with Greg Deierlein.

Lecture halls in Italy are a bit more ornate than at Berkeley:) Lecturing at CISM in Udine.

@DennisKochmann @IMES_ETHZ Thanks for the opportunity to give the talk! I greatly enjoyed the discussion. Always nice to be back at ETH.

Noted a familiar name on the wall while visiting the Centre Pompidou today. @BerkeleyCee

@zhigangsuo @CranfordMATTER @zhigangsuo I see that we are academic 5th Cousins Once Removed 😉 [common academic relation being Felix Klein]

@EnduricaWill @EnduricaTom Making a stop in Paris? Let me know and stop by ESPCI.

@kebabroyal_ @gabrielpeyre Not so poor man's, since if your programming language supports complex numbers then there is not extra programming required for special data types.

@zhigangsuo @dpholmes @ShuYangPenn @ghpaulino Here is another interesting one from Eliot Fried's group which I made from a template that he sent me (https://t.co/8LnFNT2YSN); see also https://t.co/dOjiRgVLw1

@advanses Yes, we noticed this typo too. Thanks.

@zhigangsuo A visit to the royal observatory in Greenwich is recommended to learn about the Airy family.

@RuobingB I used it recently to help me recall how to prove Jensen’s inequality. It gave me an incorrect proof but the underlying approach was correct and I was then able to construct my own proof.

@zhigangsuo @LallitAnand The nice cover photo was courtesy of Chaoyi Zhu, Shiteg Zhao, and Andy Minor from @Cal_Engineer and @BerkeleyLab; it's an electron backscatter diffraction map of a shocked CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy.
