We are seeking outstanding candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position at the Institute of High Performance Computing of Singapore, working on a three-year research project of additive manufacturing. The position requires a Ph.D degree in mechanical engineering, mechanics, materials science, or equivalent experience. Additional requirements include: 1) Experience in thermal and structural simulations using Abaqus. 2) Experience in molecular dynamics simulations using Lammps. 3) Strong oral and written communication skills in English. 3) Good publication records.

Job description: We are looking for a bright, dynamic, and highly motivated individual to perform research in biomechanics with applications to ophthalmology. For more information about our Laboratory, please visit: http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/ivb/. This is a project in collaboration with clinicians from the Singapore Eye Research Institute (top 5 eye institute worldwide) and from Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK (biggest eye hospital worldwide).

One PhD student position available
at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of
Central Florida. Students with background in solid mechanics, computational
mechanics, finite element analysis or molecular dynamic simulation are
particularly encouraged to apply. If you are interested, please send your
resume and representative publications (if have) to Dr. Yuanli Bai (bai [at] ucf.edu (bai[at]ucf[dot]edu)). 

Recently, a very general and novel class of implicit bodies has been developed to describe the elastic response of solids. It contains as a special subclass the classical Cauchy and Green elastic bodies. Within the class of such bodies, one can obtain through a rigorous approximation, constitutive relations for the linearized strain as a nonlinear function of the stress. Such an approximation is not possible within classical theories of Cauchy and Green elasticity, where the process of linearization will only lead to the classical linearized elastic body.

Dear Colleagues,

The submission deadline for abstracts to the 17th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical & Applied Mechanics has been extended to Jan 6th, 2014.  Please consider submitting an abstract to at the website below.  We will be holding a symposium on "Elasticity, PLasticity, and Multiphysics of Hierarchical Materials: Mechanisms to Mechanics" that many of you should find quite interesting!
