Recently solar energy conversion has been used to generate electricity. The generation of electricity using photo voltaic (PV) modules or panels is the most common method, because PV modules do not emit toxic gases and greenhouse gases as compared to energy generation using fossil fuel, they are considered relatively safe [1]
The 24th Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis will be held at Duke University on April 26, 2013. The competition has become one of the premier graduate student events in the broad area of mechanics.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position, which will be available at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year. The position is expected to be at the rank of assistant professor, but may be at the rank of associate or full professor for applicants with demonstrated scholarship, including a strong record of securing and conducting externally funded research.
I would like to bring to your attention the CISM course "Structure-Preserving Integrators in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics and Flexible Multibody Dynamics", which is going to take place in Udine, Italy, October 7-11, 2013.
The project consists of developing new computational and modeling tools to address solid-multiphase fluid coupled problems using Isogeometric Analysis.
1-year contract. Renewable one more year
Annual gross allowance: From 20000 to 30000 Eur depending on the candidate's qualifications.
hi, I am a student in Engineering Mechanics. I would like to find a lab or a professor related to fluid structure interaction(FSI) for grad study in USA. does FSI is part of fluid mechanics discipline? or which is the right department I should search for?
I have looked through some grad schools, I found some similary key words, such as aeroelasticity, micro aero vehicles, swimmers, environemantl fluid mechanics, not that close anyway.
hello, m doing msc in structural enginering, could anyone help me how to apply blast laod of 8kg explosive in abaqus, and compare numerical results with expermertal resutls.thanks
The North Sea’s aged offshore oil and gas platforms and pipelines is
approaching a new phase in its operations during which it will be necessary to
decommission some of them, many of which have been producing oil
and gas for over 30 years.
Increasing emerging
economies has resulted in an increase in energy demand, and thus a look into
the Biofuel. Factors such as oil prices, global warming, and explorative access
issues has spurred the development of biofuels.
Biofuels are carbon
neutralizers but issues and challenges such as Fuel vs. Food debate,
life-cycle-environmental impact of biofuels [1] raises question marks over its
development and sustainability to substitute fossil fuels.
