Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a Postdoctoral position in the framework of a research project "High reliability of large wind turbines via computational micromechanics based enhancement of materials performances" at the Risoe DTU.

Hi everyone,

I'm a master student of mechanical engineering in the field of applied design.

I am looking for a good proposal to convince the university to accept that for

my final research. I appreciate that anyone can help me with this.

thank you 

The Center for Advanced Materials (CAM) at the British University in Egypt (BUE) has an opening for full time Research Associate to fill immediately. BUE is located in El-Shorouk City, 30 km east of Cairo and provides a UK work environment. Information about BUE and CAM can be found at www.bue.edu.eg and cam.bue.edu.eg.

Description: To work on aproject related to modeling of composite materials and structures. The project focuses on micromechanics, multifunctional constituents and finite element implementation of developed models.

All,



Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.



Best regards



Lee
