The Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics, DTU Wind Energy, is seeking a PhD student for an experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades. The PhD scholarship is part of the OPTI_MADE_BLADE project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark. The project targets the development of design and manufacturing solutions for large (>70m) offshore wind turbine blades.

In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:

亲爱的同事们,

on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on建模的本地化inelastic deformationthat will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 7-11 September 2015. More detailed information on the course is posted athttp://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2015.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

On behalf of the International Institute for Multifunctional Materials for Energy Conversion (IIMEC) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, we would like to announce asummer schoolonAdvanced Material Systems: Experimentation and Modeling. The summer school will be held from July 13–18, 2015 on the Aristotle University campus in Thessaloniki, Greece.

WHAT

Five-day short course on the fundamentals of continuum, atomistic and multiscale modeling of materials.

WHO

Prof. Ellad B. Tadmor(U. Minnesota, USA) andProf. Ronald E. Miller(Carleton University, Canada).

WHERE

Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU), Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany

The Centre for Material Sciences (MINES ParisTech) opens a new master program (450h of courses + internship in the industry). The majority of courses are tought in French, so this program might interest french students finishing their master courses this summer (2015) or french-speaking foreign students holding a degree equivalent to the french master. We are looking for motivated candidates!

A state of stress in a body. Components of stress. Subject to a load, a body develops internal forces. The distribution of the internal forces in the body is usually inhomogeneous. For example, when a rod is bent, part of the rod is in tension, and the other part of the rod is in compression.

If the internal forces are uniformly distributed in the body, the body is said to be in a homogeneous state of stress. For brevity, we often say a state of stress, or just stress.
