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.

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. escholarship.org/uc/item/64d…

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.

The authors, @LallitAnand and Ken Kamrin of MIT and @SGovindjee of Berkeley, are distinguished researchers and teachers. The book distills solid mechanics that has become significant in practice but has not been commonly taught in a single course.

This morning it was bitterly cold in northern California. It was 41F out 🙂 and the steering wheel of my car was sticky (tacky). After 15 minutes, when the car warmed up, it was no longer sticky. What happened and why? @zhigangsuo @garethmckinley @EnduricaWill @ProfZhaoMIT

This weekend a legendary figure in the development of computational mechanics and the development of the public university, Karl S. Pister, passed away at 96. He was a great mechanician and a truly wonderful person. I will miss his guidance and good humor.
