The Departement of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University
is seeking to fill two positions this year. One position is in the area of
aerospace materials. Details about the position and the application process may be found in the attached file.

As part of its Vision 2020, developed under the leadership of former President
Robert Gates, Texas A&M University started a few years ago an
unprecedented hiring initiative. This has lead to over 400 new positions
across campus and 100+ positions in the College of Engineering alone.

This is a review on ductile fracture committed to the Advances in Applied Mechanics (Vol 44). Part of the review has an educational purpose and, as such, is intended for advanced undergraduates and starting graduate students. The other part is an account of recent research conducted in the field.

Though quite long, the review is by no means exhaustive. As noted in the discussion, many valuable contributions to this field have been left out. The focus was laid on micromechanics-based approaches to connect to microstructural aspects in engineering materials.

 I will try to post the electronic PDF once I get permission from Elsevier.
