We dem onstrate that the Drucker-Prager plastic flow model combined with a Henc ky-strain-based hyperelasticity accurately recreates a wide range of vis ual sand phenomena with moderate computational expense. We use the Mater ial Point Method (MPM) to discretize the governing equations for its nat ural treatment of contact\, topological change and history dependent con stitutive relations. The Drucker-Prager model naturally represents the f rictional relation between shear and normal stresses through a yield str ess criterion. We develop a stress projection algorithm used for enforci ng this condition with a non-associative flow rule that works naturally with both implicit and explicit time integration. We demonstrate the eff icacy of our approach on examples undergoing large deformation\, collisi ons and topological changes necessary for producing modern visual effect s. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nJoseph Teran is a professor of applied mat hematics at UCLA. His research is focused on numerical methods for parti al differential equations arising in classical physics. This includes co mputational solids\, computational fluids\, multi-material interactions\ , fracture dynamics and computational biomechanics. Exciting application s include computer graphics and movie special effects at Walt Disney Ani mation. Professor Teran was a recipient of a 2011 Presidential Early Car eer Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) and a 2010 Young Investi gator award from the Office of Naval Research. In 2008\, Discover Magazi ne named him one of the 50 “Best Brains in Science” which lauded him and other young scientists as “young visionaries who are transforming the w ay we understand the world”.\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/even ts/1250470262 URL:http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~fliu/seminar/flyer-teran.pdf SUMMARY:Computer Science Colloquium: Drucker-Prager Elastoplasticity for Sand Animation LOCATION:Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01: 1900 Southwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170801T072036Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170803T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170803T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170801T072036Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170801T072036Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250472307 DESCRIPTION:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement \;\ n \;\nWho: Michael "\;you break it you bought it"\; Dexter 3\;\nWhat: An Introduction to Data Protection \;\nWhere: PSU\, 1930 S W 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level) \;\nWhen: Thursday\, August 3 rd\, 2017 at 7pm \;\nWhy: The pursuit of technology freedom \;\nSt ream: http://pdxlinux.org/live \;\n \;\nYou probably have a good s ense of data protection in the sense of "\;backups"\; but alas\, there is more to it.

Systems that can aid local populations in their underst anding of environmental and climate changes and help them deal with thos e changes. Our systems are aimed at the area that is the difference betw een today's weather and long-term climate changes ahead. These systems a re designed to be the “last mile” of climate change monitoring\, allowin g local communities around the world to monitor their climate and take s teps to mitigate changes. The systems will be owned and run by these com munities with limited outside technical support\, and can either stand a lone or be tied together into an ad-hoc network similar to a small netwo rk of cellphone towers. Using our system to ask three questions: What is happening to our climate and environment? What does it mean? And what c an we do about it? The hard data collected from the system\, leaders in communities can begin planning how they will adapt and stay in place in their decision-making process. The GMIBS-Project will design\, develop\, and produce low-cost systems to aid local groups efforts to monitor and mitigate climate change.

By using a purely functional package manager and configuration language\, NixOS promises system consistency\ , atomic upgrades\, reliable rollbacks\, and the ability to precisely de fine both development and production environments. \;\n \;\nHoweve r\, these advantages come at the cost of adopting new paradigms and tool ing\, including the functional Nix language\, which can pose a steep lea rning curve—especially for users familiar with conventional Linux distri butions and workflows. \;\n \;\nThis talk provides a high-level ov erview of the Nix and NixOS ecosystem through the eyes of a relatively n ew Linux user with a little over a year of hands-on Nix experience.

It was originally developed by the s ame group at Bell Labs which developed Unix and shares a clear heritage that will make many parts familiar to experienced users of other unix-li ke systems\, but in many ways represents an "\;alternate universe&qu ot\; for how Unix might have developed. While it's seen only limited com mercial use\, it has proven itself suitable to a wide range of applicati ons\, including supercomputer clusters\, network appliances\, and embedd ed systems. And as a small\, consistent system with a unifying philosoph y\, it can be interesting to study and explore even outside its practica l utility. \;\n \;\nTogether\, let's take a brief tour of this alt ernate universe's history\, what makes it exciting to people who live (o r visit) there\, the current landscape\, and where it might (or might no t!) be interesting for you. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nAnthony S orace (he/him) is some sort of engineer.
