We have an immediate opening for an outstanding post-doctoral fellow in our Multiscale Mechanics& Physics (MMP) Laboratory.  We are broadlyinterested in the fundamental physics and mechanics of nano/bio materials andtheir applications in innovative nano/bio devices. The focus of our current projects include: (i) nanoscale transport phenomena in pharmaceutical, biomedical and biologicalsystems, (ii) mechanics of nanodefects and their applications in engineering nanodevices,(iii) multifunctional and advanced materials for structural applications.

there are two analytical concepts that are very important in fatigue failure.the first one is crack closure and the others is residual stress .the first one is in behind of crack and the other emphasis in the front of crack tip. the question is if we use some devices such as AFM/SEM is it possible we model the energy filed during fatigue process?   if this idea can be investigated the second question can be asked: is there any similarity to model for different loading conditions? 

I appreciate if you also put your comment in my idea?

Bes Regards,

Hadi 

Dear Collegue

We are organising in July 7-9, 2010 an Euromech workshop on Multiscale
effects in Fatigue, at the Ecole Polytechnique, near Paris in France.
Outcomes and topics are detailed on the following web site:

http://www.lms.polytechnique.fr/Euromech

We would be honoured if you could contribute to this workshop to present
some of your recent research results.  The workshop is thought as a small
meeting in order to promote active discussion on the hot topics in this
field.

with kindest regards
Andrei Constantinescu & Michele Ciavarella

I am a newer to nanotechnology,and i have great interest in computation on nanotube with continuum model,but after read some papers ,lost my mind ,i want to know what field have great future,Tsu-wei Chou have done a lot of work in nanotube with continuum mode in the field of frequency,elastic modulous,buckling,i don't know what can i do now ,long for your advice for me ,a green hand

sorry for my poor english

Welcome to the May 2007 issue. This issue focuses on experimental nanomechanics of nanobuilding blocks. The extremely small dimensions of nanobuilding blocks (for instance, nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanowires) have imposed great challenges to many existing instruments, methodologies, and even theories.  In this issue, we will discuss – (1) experimental techniques and (2) size-effects.
