computational mechanics

Dear friends and colleagues,

This is to inform you of the minisymposium

Plasticity: Bridging the Scales from Micro to Macro

to be organized at the 22nd International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM XXII) and request you to consider submitting an abstract. The workshop will be held in Baltimore, MD, USA during September 24-26, 2012.

3 PhD positions are now available at the Department of Innovation Engineering at the University of Salento in Lecce, Italy. Funding is provided by the European Research Council Starting Researcher Grant project "INTERFACES-Mechanical Modeling of Interfaces in Advanced Materials and Structures".

The successful applicant will work on topics related to computational methods for interface modeling, isogeometric analysis, and multiscale methods.

Applicants should possess the following qualifications/attributes:

(a) an Engineering degree in a closely related area;

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the CM13 Organising Committee, I would like to invite you to attend an International Conference on Computational Mechanics - CM13, to be held in Durham, UK from 25-27 March 2013. The conference is organised under the banner of the UK Association of Computational Mechanics in Engineering (ACME) replacing, for 2013, the annual ACME meeting with a much larger and truly international event. A flyer containing full details of the conference can be downloadedhere.

Environment

The post-doctoral position will be accomplished within the BATir (Building, Architecture & Town planning) department of the Brussels School of Engineering/´Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles, at the Universit´e Libre de Bruxelles (http://batir.ulb.ac.be). Duration of the position: 18 months, starting in April 2012.

Profile

There is an open position in the Advanced Tire Technology department in Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (www.bridgestone-firestone.com). Please see the attached flyer for details and send resume, if interested, tobfpd@bfusa.com

I am co-organizing a mini-symposium on « Computational damage mechanics of composite materials » in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2012) with Dr. Gilles Lubineau at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dr. Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

这是一个试图为使阀瓣ussion on non-linear issues in Continuum Mechanics (CM) under the comprehensive supervision of modern differential geometry (DG). Some people would say that engineers do not need so much mathematics, but such an opinion is a sure indicator of lack of knowledge of the matter. In fact I am an engineer, a University teacher and a designer in Structural Engineering and my experience is that a lot of troubles would have been saved to me by a basic training in DG.

A PhD position is avalaible at the Centre des Matériaux of Mines ParisTech (Paris, France). The research will focus on "Experimental and numerical analysis of sustained load cracking in Titanium". The candidates should have a master degree in mechanics, materials sciences and engineering, or computational mechanics. A full decription of the subject is attached. Interested applicants please send a resume to Dr. Matthieu Maziere (maziere@mat.ensmp.fr).

As one of the biggest Departments of its kind in the UK, the Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering has an international reputation for being at the forefront of technological innovation and for maintaining extensive links with industry.

Hi all,

1.在过去,我们有一些讨论regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.

Applicants are sought to fill a post-doctoral position in
computational solid/structural mechanics and design. The selected applicant will work
closely with Prof. Masoud Rais-Rohani and his research colleagues and graduate
学生中心的先进的车载系统ems (CAVS) in the Bagley
College of Engineering at Mississippi State University.Applicants must have strong background
in finite element analysis with good knowledge of commercial codes such as ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, or MD Nastran.

Prof. Rebecca Brannon and her team have created a wonderful page containing interesting information on aspects of plasticity, damage, and computational mechanics (particularly, the Material Point Method).

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in structural engineering/mechanics/materials (SEMM). Candidates at all ranks are sought with expertise in one or more of the following areas: (1) computational/solid mechanics; (2) infrastructure materials. The expected starting date is August, 2011.

Are you a recent graduate in civil, mechanical or chemical engineering, physics
or applied mathematics, with experience in one or more of the following: solid
or soil/granular mechanics, discrete element method (DEM), bulk solids handling,
computational multiphase flow modelling?
Looking to develop a career in cutting-edge engineering with the opportunity to
live and work internationally?
The PARDEM project has brought together industrial and academic partners to
develop the DEM modelling techniques and to predict the behaviour of granular
solids such as pellets, grains, sand and biomass for industrial applications.
As part of PARDEM, the University of Edinburgh has outstanding doctoral training
opportunities in the area of granular solids. We are seeking an exceptional
