Closing date of application: March 24. 2012
The University of Stavanger invites applications for a three-year doctorate scholarship in Mechanical engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology in the Department of Mechanical and Structural and Materials Science, beginning August 15, 2012.
The title of the project is “Structural health monitoring using updated finite element models”.
We have opened a position of University Lecturer (more or less equivalent to Assistant Prof and Associate Prof in the US system) in " Mathematics in Materials Science".
This is a position at the interface between mathematics and solid mechanics (and associated fields). People either with strong modelling skills or strong mathematical background are encouraged to apply.

hello.
I hope it is ok to ask this here. If not, please let me know which forum to use.
what do you recommned to use for programming finite element methods these days?
I am now learning FEM, and would like to start programming small programs to solve very simple problems to help me learn it better.
I'd like to be able to plot easily (I learn better by seeing plots than just numbers). A friend recommeneded I use Mathematica or Matlab. What other options do you recommend?
This is the list I made so far:
Ｈｅｌｌｏｗ ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ， Ｉcan not find the paperin the titil, Does anyone have it ? My email address is "041858 [at] gmail.com".
Thanks very much.

Greeting to all iMechanicians,
Read Prof Alistair Borthwick's (University College Cork, Ireland) March 2012 editorial for ICE journal Engineering and Computational Mechanics for free here. Link http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/content/article/10.1680/eacm.2012.165.1.1
This chapter summarizes our works on surface wrinkling of elastic thin films, taking a kinetics approach as a physical pathway to both ordered and disordered wrinkle patterns.
Since springs can be placed only between elements, to place several thousand springs on a 2D long wire shape model, I need to partition my model into thousands elements. Does anyone knows how to partition an element IN Abaqus CAE into desired number of elements, rather than dividing the elements in half and in half and in half until I get a certain number???thank you!
