One PhD position is available immediately in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Clarkson University, NY, US. The research program focuses on the mechanical behaviors of advanced materials including polymer microstructures, composites, nanomaterials, and biological materials. Interdisciplinary collaborations are possible. The candidates with background and interest in engineering mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science are highly encouraged to apply.

一个few points that might be of general interest:

1. The dates: The date of Huygens' first written down material, which was orally presented to the French Academy of Sciences, is 1678---in contrast to the oft-quoted date of 1690. 1690 was the year of the first, French, publication of these notes (plus other material) in the form of a book.

SoftInWay Turbomachinery Solutions Pvt. Ltd., an Indian subsidiary of SoftInWay Inc., proudly announces its first educational event in India: 5-day integrated training course on Axial Turbine Fundamentals and Turbomachinery Design and Optimization with AxSTREAM 3.0, to be held on January 17-21, 2011, in Bangalore, KA. The early-bird registered attendees will take advantage of a 33% discount (this offer is valid until December 24, 2010).

The Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Ningbo University, China, has multiple openings in Solid Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics for experienced and junior applicants.

The Department has been supported by Zhejiang Province under Center for Excellence program for broad subjects related to Engineering Mechanics research and education. We also have special funds for the enhancement of the Fluid Mechanics program.

dear Friend

I am comparing italian universities with Russian ones with US and with Cuban ones. Then I need some figures.

I have been able for example to find that there are about 50% of students-workers in Russia, what about US?
I mean full time workers, not just part time.

I am attaching a brief overview of electronic structure theories (ab-initio theories) with emphasis on the various approximations that form a basis for these theories. It also contains references that provide a comprehensive introduction to the field.

The lecture notes of the two courses I taught at Stanford University during the last two quarters, "ME 340 Elasticity" and "ME 334 Introduction to Statistical Mechanics", are available in PDF format online at:

One of the things that I've thought about often in relation to mechanics is:

Here is a Lectureship in Solid Mechanics available in the Engineering Science Department at Oxford posted by Prof.Alan Cocks.

Recently, Prof. Suo and several of us students have been discussing the possibility ofincreasing student presence and activity on iMechanica. With this in mind, two of us:Mahdi Kazemzadehand I, have identified three important issues we would like to get your thoughts on. Please comment and let us know what you think, even if you are not a student. Also, if you wish to add any more issues you think we should look at, please post your thoughts in this regard as well.

This has reference to (only) the *last paragraph* in Prof. Harry Lewis' recent post, found at:node/1423#comment-2880.

The reason I write the present post is because I always seem to have had a view of inventing, learning, or teaching mathematics that is remarkably at odds with what Prof. Lewis' last paragraph *seems* to imply.
