The Materials Research Division at Risø DTU, Technical University of Denmark, is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in the field of defect characterisation in steel.
 
Job description
The position is part of a research project funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research aiming at increasing the fundamental knowledge of steel used in gears and bearings in wind turbines. The position involves the following tasks:

Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).  This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone. 

Shefelbine’s research group experimentally examines the structure and mechanics of bones (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.shefelbine).  Buehler’s research group focuses on computational materials science of structural protein materials (http://web.mit.edu/mbuehler/www/).

Hi,

I am writing to inform you about a new master in Computational Materials Science offered at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. It is an international master program, and all the lectures will be given in English.

To enhance multidisciplinary research, the program is open to students from different background, mechanical engineering, solid state physics and materials science.

For further details, please visit the webpage  at  www.imfd.tu-freiberg.de/cms 

Regards,

Department Chair - Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science

Duke University and the Pratt School of Engineering invite applications and nominations for the position of Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS). MEMS is one of four departments in the Pratt School of Engineering, within a world-class, top-ranked teaching and research institution.

Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation (SFTC) is currently looking for several self-motivated and talented individuals to further develop its Finite Element based software product DEFORM™.  Please visit www.deform.com for more details.  Ph.D in Engineering with strong background in mechanics, material science, or manufacturing processes, and programming experience (FORTRAN under Windows or UNIX environment), and excellent problem solving skills are highly desirable.  Candidate should have working experiences in some of the following areas: 

As the 2010 SIMULIA Customer Conference approaches, it reminds me of a thought-provoking presentation given by Dale Berry of SIMULIA at the 2009 SCC in London.

He reminded the audience, of engineers and researchers, that Realistic Simulation is not only good for evaluating mechanical behavior of product performance, but it’s also an indespenible tool for driving innovative research that improves our lives and society.

Hie,
1] I am Krunal, currently pursuing my masters for University of Sheffield, wherein for my thesis I require to simulate the forging process for commercial vehicle Anti-roll bars using MSC MARC software. 2] I require the flow stress curves for the material 51CrMoV4 at varying temperatures ( approx 850 - 1400 deg celcius ) and varying strain rates ( approx 0.01 to 50 per second). However I am unable to find it....!!

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately, in the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multi-scale modeling of hierarchical biological, bioinspired and nanostructured materials. Material properties of specific interest include mechanical properties, in particular deformation and failure mechanisms. The work will emphasize on mutable properties (mechanomutability, thermomutability) and the analysis and design of adaptive, responsive, and robust materials through the integration of scales, from nano to macro. 

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University
of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure track faculty
position. Applications will be considered from outstanding candidates
in any emerging area of Materials Science and Engineering.

cellular metal: space is divided into distinct cells. The boundaries of these cells are made of solid metal, the interior are voids. Ideally, the individual cells are all separated from each other by metal but often this restriction is relaxed

Journal of Materials (JOM) of The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) is running a survey on the greatest moments in materials science and engineering; the voting deadline is January 5, 2007.

I came across this page and think it may be of interest to mechanicians.
