A new postdoctoral position in the mechanics of glassy/amorphous materials

Submitted by Eran Bouchbinder on

A new postdoctoral position in the mechanics of glassy/amorphous materials is
available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The project will focus on
strongly non-linear phenomena such as cavitation, shear-banding and fracture,
with applications to Bulk Metallic Glasses, and will involve advanced

Submitted by Charles Augarde on

ABSTRACT DEADLINE APPROACHING 31st July 2012

Dear Colleagues

We have received a healthy number of abstracts already for CM13 but we invite you to consider submitting one if you have not done so already. The deadline is 31st July 2012 with full papers due October 15th 2012 (so that they can be reviewed). Please visit the conference website for more details, or contact me directly. I hope some of you can join us in England in 2013.

postdoctoral position

Submitted by addis on

We are looking for a highly motivated
postdoctoral scholar to be filled as soon as possible. Successful applicants
have had a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science,
Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Applicant should describe innovative
fundamental research in the field of advanced materials. Examples include but
are not limited to material processing, high temperature materials, ceramic materials,
and powder metallurgy.

TeX-based equation image generator

Submitted by N. Sukumar on

If you would like to include LaTeX equations in a presentation (Powerpoint, Keynote, or others), and have not found a good solution so far, then you might wan't to consider TeXclip.  It is on the web (no installation needed) and high-quality images of the TeX equations can be incorporated into a presentation rather seamlessly. I have been using TeXPoint so far, but do like the simple usage and the quality of the images that TeXclip generates.

Full scholarships available at European Commission funded workshop on physically based material modeling

Submitted by Tuncay Yalcinkaya on

European Commission' s JRC (Joint Research Centre) is organizing a workshop on physics based modeling of material properties and experimental observations in collaboration with METU (Middle East Technical University). The workshop will be held in Ankara on 22-23 October 2012.

The Workshop will include lectures by keynote speakers: W. Curtin, F. Dunne, L. Malerba, J-F Molinari, A. Needleman and B. Svendsen, and presentations by participants (oral or posters).

Postdoc or Research Associate opening on bi-metallic friction stir welding joining at Texas A&M university at Qatar

Submitted by gayoub on

The work involves working
independently and collaboratively on: Identifying processing parameters that
will optimize the properties of the bi-metallic joint, developing a material
constitutive model for impact loading conditions, developing an experimentally
validated numerical model the can be used to predict the joint performance
under impact loading conditions, and developing design and processing
guidelines for the bimetallic joints.
