Faculty Position in Solid Mechanics at UIUC

Submitted by Harley T. Johnson on

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering (MechSE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for faculty positions at all levels in Solid Mechanics, broadly defined, with particular emphasis on research that is experimental in nature.  MechSE at Illinois has a strong tradition in solid mechanics, and offers a BS degree in Engineering Mechanics and MS/PhD programs in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, as well as BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering.

mini-symposium on Multiscale and Plasticity Models of Energy Related Materials

Submitted by tarek.hatem on
Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you on behalf of myself, Prof. Tahir Cagin (Texas A&M) and Prof. Akhtar Khan (University of Maryland) to contribute to a newly added mini-symvposium to the International Symposium of Plasticity to take place 3-8 January 2013 at Bahamas Island; more detailed information of the event is listed below. 

PhD studentship position on "modelling of surface defects transformation in hot rolling of steel"

Submitted by Ghadbeigi on

a PhD student ship is available for UK/EU nationals (ONLY) to develop a Finite Element model of the rolling
operation to predict the behaviour of surface defects on the rolled
material during hot rolling of steels. The effects of geometrical parameters along with the material
properties and the rolling geometry, such as bite angle, on the behaviour of
the surface defects during rolling will be investigated. The
project is partially funded by Tata Steel Europe,

Basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulations

Submitted by chandrashekhar… on

Dear all,

Can you please suggest me some basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulation of materials. I am quite naive in this field. I have some exposure to solid mechanics and finite element techniques. I understand that I need to study molecular dynamic simulations also, where again I need advice for basic references.  I would be thankful for your help.

Thanks and regards,

Shekhar
