Dear members of iMechanica,

We are very pleased to announce the born of the first overlay journal in Solid Mechanics the so-called

 Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics https://jtcam.episciences.org

which is a scholarly journal, provided on a Fair Open Access basis, without cost to both readers and authors. The Journal aims to select publications of the highest scientific caliber in the form of either original research or review in Solid Mechanics. 

EML Webinar is now on multiple social media platforms.

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver Campus. The positions are described below and involve the use of large-scale ab-initio simulations in combination with machine learning models to accelerate materials discovery. The positions are funded for two-years and available in the modelling and simulation group, lead by Prof. Mauricio Ponga.

You are welcome to join this webinar on implant selection and positioning in Simpleware software. The 15-minute webinar shows some of the recent developments we've made in selecting and positioning CAD implants within computed tomography (CT) image data.

The webinar will look at the case of a CT torso scan to discuss different measurement techniques in Simpleware ScanIP, and how to create orthopedic models for 3D printing, Finite Element Analysis, and CAD.

Registration is available here.

For my new junior research group "MEiTNER - Multifunctional dielectric elastomer electronics for next generation soft robotics", I am searching for two PhD candidates at TU Dresden. The possitions come with full salary and all German social security. 

EML Webinar on April 22, 2020 will be given by Prof. John A. Rogers at Northwestern University via Zoom meeting.

Dear all,

Our research group has, for the first time, developed a cementitious material with auxetic behavior. This was achieved with the aid of negative based 3D printing. A recently published article on the topic can be viewed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340586551_Cementitious_cellula…;

Regards,

Branko

A Postdoc position is available in the area of computational solid mechanics in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University.
