Physics, chemistry, and medicine have Nobel prizes. Mathematicians have fields medal. What do you think is the most prestigious engineering prize? Do we have any Nobel equivalent?

During charging or discharging of a lithium-ion battery, lithium is extracted from one electrode and inserted into the other.  This extraction-insertion reaction causes the electrodes to deform.  An electrode is often composed of small active particles in a matrix.  If the battery is charged at a rate faster than lithium can homogenize in an active particle by diffusion, the inhomogeneous distribution of lithium results in stresses that may cause the particle to fracture.  The distributions of lithium and stress in a LiCoO₂ particle are calculated.  The e

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. We especially seek candidates whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of energy, manufacturing, and biomedicine.  However, the innovative nature of the candidate’s research and the candidate’s potential for leadership are more important than specific research area.

• Assessing the potential of ageing infrastructure to provide the same level of service as newly constructed facilities
• Identifying the key threats to the integrity of a pipeline in later life
• New solutions for old pipelines: revealing how new technologies can
  help ensure reliability of older infrastructure and assessing the
  future outlook for mature pipes
• Taking the necessary steps to make sure that older pipelines are operated within regulatory requirements

There are three open positions for doctoral students at the Institiute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics  (ILSB) of Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Vienna, Austria

Applications and nominations are invited for the position of Professor and Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), College of Engineering (http://www.engr.utk.edu/mse/). A detailed Announcement is enclosed.

Hello

I am a post graduate student. I need a VUNAT subroutin about shape memory alloy in Abaqus. Please if someone has it, give me.

Thanks.
