I am a Ph.D. student in Department of Aeronautical Structural Engineering. I expect to receive my PhD degree in July 2009 from Northwestern Polytechnical University. This university features as a top 10 engineering universities in China. My dissertation is on active/passive vibration control with piezoceramics. Part of my work has been published in an international peer-reviewed journal (“Vibration suppression of a hard disk driver actuator arm using piezoelectric shunt damping with a topology optimized PZT transducer” in Journal of Smart Materials and Structures).

Dear all,

I have completed PhD recently(IITMadras,INDIA) and looking for postdoctoral position in the research area of vibration/damping of engineering structures which includes FGM,sandwich and composite materials. Also interested in stability and acoustic studies on thin-walled structures.

Colleagues

Can I draw your attention to a Chair position and Lectureship in Bioengineering at the School of Engineering, Durham University. While the curent Chair position is occupied by an experimentalist, the postitions are open to candidates with interests in computational modelling and I would encourage anyone in that area to take a look.

Further details are available at the Durham jobs website https://jobs.dur.ac.uk/default.asp. Closing dates are 10/07/09 for the Chair and 31/07/09 for the Lectureship.

Job description
A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the Computational Solid
Mechanics Laboratory in the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences
and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
(KAUST). Candidates with experience in the following
research area are encouraged to apply:

(1) Constitutive modeling of soft materials (biological tissues and polymers)

Qualifications
A successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in the field of computational
solid mechanics with experience in the aforementioned
area of research. Programming experience on a UNIX platform is a must.
Other related areas of research will be considered.

Dear all,

I obtained PhD one year ago in China, and my research interests are vibration of complex structures, by using either approximate or theoretical mothods, structural design optimization by using matrix perturbation or other schemes, underwater acoustic radiation from shells.  

Due to some private reasons, I have quit some opportunities as a postdoctoral researcher one year before, now I am looking for another opportunity for postdoctoral positions. Anyone will be highly appreciated if you can provide

some information for me.

You may also be appreciated if you contact me via e-mail or MSN.

Halmstad University (Sweden) is looking for young researchers to join our research groups in embedded and intelligent systems, specifically for intelligent vehicles in joint work with Volvo Technology in Gothenburg. Two positions are currently open: one with a focus on vehicle diagnostics, maintenance and uptime, and one with a focus on autonomous vehicles. Please se advertisement at: http://www.hh.se/english/abouttheuniversity/vacantpositions.2064_en.html (click on link Assistant Professors in Information Technology)

A Ph.D. position has recently become available in my research group (www.eng.uwyo.edu/mechanical/research/frick/), to explore thermo-mechanical
behavior of shape memory polymers for biomedical applications.  A
strong candidate with a M.S. or B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Materials Science, or a related discipline is required.  A good
academic record, a clear interest in experimental sciences, and an
enthusiasm to conduct outstanding research are the only prerequisites.
Prospective candidates should contact me (cfrick@uwyo.edu) for additional information.

 I am looking for a Post-Doc position in Computational Mechanics and Physis in United Sates for 1 year at least.

I defended my PhD 4 months ago at Ecole des Mines de Paris in France.

My PhD study consisted in developing a method, based upon mechanical multi-scale techniques, t

o characterize the elastic effective properties of a rubber with carbon black fillers knowing its microstructure morphology.
