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,
The Department of Mechanical Engineering invites outstanding applicants in all areas of
Mechanical Engineering for tenure-track positions at the level of Assistant Professor beginning
Fall 2014. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is multi-disciplinary with strong research
programs in Biomechanics, Robotics and Control, MEMs and Nanotechnology, Thermo-fluid
Sciences and Energy, Bioacoustics, and Materials. The department is further strengthened by its
affiliation with the Photonics Center, the Division of Materials Science and Engineering, The
Division of Systems Engineering, and the Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation.

Dear Colleagues,
The 20th European Conference on Fracture (www.ecf20.no) will be held at Trondheim, in Norway on 30 June - 4 July 2014. We are inviting abstracts in the areas of fracture and fatigue at all scales! The deadline for abstract submission is 4 October, 2013.
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
I am looking for a new Ph.D. student to work on discretization of nonlinear elasticity using geometric and topological ideas. Requirements for this position are a strong background in solid mechanics and some background in differential geometry and analysis. If interested please email me your CV.
