Springer launched new journal: Mechanics of Soft Materials

This journal offers a unique forum for research on mechanical behavior of soft materials including but not limited to polymers, elastomers, gels, rubberlike materials, soft biological materials and tissues.

The journal aims at uniting considerations of various soft materials, which exhibit similarity in many aspects of their behavior independently of the specific composition or biological function.

The Institute of Structural Analysis invites applications for a position as a Head of Research Unit (Experienced Researcher)  (ref. no. 90) for leading the research unit „Composites“ and to be appointed at the earliest possible date.

The department composites is performing research on development and validation of new computational methods for fibre reinforced materials and structures ranging from nano to macro scale (structural component). The research unit consists of 17 scientists.
