The Cullen College of Engineering of the University of Houston invites nominations and applications for the position of Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME). As part of a major drive for excellence, the college seeks innovative and enthusiastic leadership to build upon the strengths of the research and educational programs of the ME Department. The successful candidate must possess academic skills and credentials of the highest caliber, with an established national and international reputation in research, and academic and professional leadership in Mechanical Engineering or related fields. Credentials appropriate to the rank of Professor are required.

Dear Colleagues,

IOSO optimization technology has been used in turbomachinery for more than 20 years and applied on real-life objects like aircraft and power engines. Let me offer you some more examples.

First example:

These notes were prepared when I taught fracture mechanics in 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014. I hope to start a conversation at a new post entitled Division of Labor.

Notes on other parts of the course are also online.

Hi all. I'm interesting biomechanics. I'd like to design the connection of knee in ABAQUS. Who can help me, how I can finitness of the bones? Thanks in advance.

Gyroscopic effects is a very old topic.

When reading
literature, I am confused by the two concepts: "gyroscopic moment", and
"Coriolis force". Are they exactly the same thing or different? what's
the difference between them if different?

The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman,

is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing

high-quality research on reliability-based design optimization.  The research, supported

by NSF and others, entails developing new theory and efficient algorithms for stochastic

computing and design optimization. A solid background in mechanics and elementary

numerical analysis is a must; some exposure to uncertainty and probabilistic methods is

desirable.
