Being a undergraduate student of Harbin Institute of Technology,China, I will get my bachelor degree in JUL 2012 majoring in Composite Materials and Engineering. Then I want to find an availible PhD position of 2012 FALL to further my study.

I have studied all the basic courses of materials and mechanics in my bachelor education. Also I have got good scores in both class and lab. And you can see details in my CV and PS attached. 

My research interest includes nanoscience, nanotechnology, magnetic materials, thin films, energy materials and mechanical engineering.

In response to an unprecedented demand for poster presentations at the upcoming ICMOBT meeting, a new submission route has been opened for “breaking news” posters that present the latest developments in the field. We’re looking to select an additional ten posters to be presented at the conference. If you are interested, please follow this  link http://csemails.elsevier.com/conf/templateabstract.doc and submit your poster to Jenny Wang jen.wang@elsevier.com before 30 November 2011 to ensure consideration by the committee. Decisions will be made by 2 December 2011.

REGISTER BY FRIDAY 9 SEPTEMBER FOR EARLY BIRD RATE

Less than 2 weeks until the conference starts - but there is still time to register at www.biotribologyconference.com

Topics covered include: orthopaedic surgery • dentistry • biomechanics • biomaterials • cosmetic chemistry • biophysics • biomimetics

Presenting authors are invited to submit their manuscript for consideration for publication in a dedicated special issue of Tribology International. Visit www.elsevier.com/locate/triboint for full details. Deadline for submission: 21 October 2011.

To register for the 4th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues, or to view the program, go to the website  http://www.mechanicsofbiomaterials.com/

 Speakers include:

There are only a few days left to submit your paper, if you would like your research to feature at the 4th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues. Please go to the Abstract Submission page and register first, then upload your abstract. You will need the following information:

3 weeks left to submit your abstract for the International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2011).

The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).

Topics covered include:
- orthopaedic surgery
- dentistry
- biomechanics
- biomaterials
- cosmetics chemistry
- biophysics
- biomimetics

Speakers now announced for 4th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissueswww.mechanicsofbiomaterials.com/speakers.html
11-15 December 2011, Marriott Waikoloa Beach Resort and Spa, Hawai’i
Submit your abstract by 15 April 2011

Professors Mike Adams and Walter Herzog are the latest speakers to be announced, joining Professors Alfons Fisher and Greg Sawyer as key speakers during ICoBT 2011. For more information, go to http://www.biotribologyconference.com/speakers.asp

This conference will take place in Hawai'i, USA, 11-14 December 2011

 Themes covered will include: 

A new postdoctoral position in continuum mechanics is available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Candidates should have a strong background in physics and/or theoretical mechanics, as well as experience with analytical and computational methods for solving partial differential equations. Possible projects include the mechanics of frictional sliding, the mechanics of biomaterials, the mechanics of glassy materials and dislocation-mediated plasticity. Highly motivated candidates are requested to send their CV, publications list and statement of research interests to Dr. Eran Bouchbinder eran.bouchbinder@weizmann.ac.il

ICoBT 2011 is a new conference which will be held at Imperial College London from 18-21 September 2011. Contributions are welcomed from scientists, engineers and clinicians working in the fields of orthopaedic surgery, dentistry, biomechanics, biomaterials, cosmetic chemistry, biophysics and biomimetics. Abstract submissions are now open!

Although this is one of the most exciting research areas in Tribology, there is at present no dedicated Biotribology Conference. Biotribology embraces a wide range of research topics from artificial joint, implants, to hair conditioners and soft-tissue friction.

I am looking for a Finite Element software for Teeth and Implant modeling and analysis. Is there a special FE software for this, or which of these softwares can solve the proplem.

Abaqus, ProEng, Ansys, catia, solidworks, or anyother software..

please, if you know about solving this problem, share your thoughts with me.. or send me a link to this kind of analysis...

thanks to all in advance...

I am chairing the search for a new faculty member in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh. As you will see in the ad below, the position is in the Biomaterials area. I would like to encourage more applications from candidates with interests in biomechanics (so I will have good opportunities to collaborate), and would like to invite applicants from this forum. If you are not personally in a position to apply, please pass the announcement along to anyone you know who might be suitable. The closing date for applications is January 30, 2007.  See full description of the position.
