The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) just released a new international standard titled: "Overhead lines - Method for fatigue testing of conductors". IEC 62568. Edition 1.0 2015-07. www.iec.ch . It closely follows previous CIGRE and EPRI publications on this topic:
CIGRE SC B2 WG11 TF7 "Fatigue Endurance Capability of Conductor/Clamp Systems - Update of Present Knowledge" CIGRE TB 332, 2007, Paris.
Since 2012, Elsevier has been periodically offering free access to scientific content to support young scholars in between jobs or looking for their first postdoctoral position. Qualified applicants were granted six months free access to all our journals and books on ScienceDirect and were able to use this access to work on grant applications and research projects.
Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Letters (TAML) Best Paper Award goes to the best paper published in TAML per year. Particular attention is given to innovative articles. All awarded articles are available free online at www. taml. cstam.org.cn.
The articles and authors winning TAML Best Paper Award in 2011-2013 are listed below:
2011:
A postdoctoral research associate position is available immediately in the Computational Materials & Mechanics Laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla), http://web.mst.edu/~aslezaeemm/
Candidates need to have a strong background in Molecular Dynamics (MD) or Phase Field Modeling (PFM).
A new postdoctoral fellow position is available within the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (hemi.jhu.edu) at Johns Hopkins University. The position is in the area of experiments and modeling of inelastic deformations in geological materials (including damage and micromechanics of fracture) under impact mechanical loading conditions. The potential candidate will (a) assist in the development of theoretical and computational models for dynamic behavior and failure of geological materials, (b) closely interact with experts in x-ray phase contrast imaging to characterize microcr
Three post-doctoral positions are available at the University of Luxembourg with the ERC RealTCut project.
