odies performing spatial motion and various complex tasks are up-to-date objects of virtual prototyping. As a result
simulation and animation featuring virtual reality are most important. Recent research fields in multibody dynamics include
standardization of data, coupling with CAD systems, parameter identification, real-time animation, contact and impact
problems, extension to electronic and mechatronic systems, optimal system design, strength analysis and interaction with
fluids. Further, there is a strong interest on multibody systems in analytical and numerical mathematics resulting in reduction
methods for the rigorous treatment of simple models and special integration codes for Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)
and Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE) representations supporting the numerical efficiency. New software engineering
tools with modular approaches improve the efficiency still required for the more demanding needs in biomechanics, robotics
and vehicle dynamics.

In this talk, I discuss a universal form of matter, the Color Glass Condensate. It is this matter which composes the low
x part of all hadronic wave-functions. The experimental programs at RHIC and HERA, and future programs at LHC and
eRHIC may allow us to probe and study the properties of this matter.

Near Tip Behavior in a Particulate Composite Material Under Constant Strain Rates Including Temperature and
Thickness Effects

The objectives of this report were to investigate the effects of temperature and specimen thickness on local strain fields
and crack growth behavior in a particulate composite material. Temperatures were -53.9 deg C, 22. 2 deg C and 73.9 deg C.
Thickness is 2.54 mm and 12.7 mm. The conclusions were that the crack growth behavior at -53.9 deg C is significantly
different from that at 22.2 deg C and 73.9 deg C. The increase in specimen thickness alters the local strain fields but the
iso-strain contours are of the same general form. A power law relationship exists between the Model stress intensity factor and
the crack growth rate.
