qualified candidates for MS positions (Fall 2013). Refer to attached documents for futher information.

IMDEA Materials Institute (www.materials.imdea.org) is looking for post-doctoral researchers to work in two research projects devoted to:

- Development of multiscale modeling strategies to simulate the mechanical performance of structural composites under impact

- Development of microstructure-based multiscale models to simulate the mechanical behavior of Ni-based superalloys

At Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institute of Structural Analysis,several PhD candidate positionsin the field of analysis of composite materials and structures are available (High cycle fatigue of composite materials, Material modelling for clinching, Structural analysis of wind turbine rotor blades with morphing trailing edge (2 positions), Virtual development of nanoparticle-reinforced composite materials).

A Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with background in testing and life-prediction of polymer composites and Structural Health Monitoring is sought. The appointment is anticipated to start from November 2012, and continue for two years. Interested applicants please send a complete resume to:

Hi dear mechanicians,

I am about to publish the results of my MSc thesis in a journal. The thing is, my project was carried out in industry aboutmulti-scale FE simulation of impact in composites. So it is merely an industry-level application of available methods.

I want to ask if any of you have any particular journal in mind, in which publishing such a paper is rather easy (doable) and does not have a long waiting list for review??

Looking forward to your suggestions

Thanx a lot

Hi everyone,

According to a book chapter written by NL Hancox, 'Laminar construction of composites which is required if the reinforcing fibres are to be used efficiently and anisotropy reduced, can be a reason why composite laminates are vulnerable to impact damage.'

现在我有三个问题;

1-What is meant here by the specified 'laminar construction to reduce anisotropy'?Does it mean to use different orientation for fibres in each ply to have an isotropic material at the laminate level?
