Mini-symposium “Fracture and Instabilities in Soft Materials” on ICF13
We are organizing a mini-symposium, "Fracture and Instabilities in Soft Materials", on the 13th International Conference on Fracture, which will be held during June 16-21, 2013 in Beijing, China. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract on your recent research findings in related areas. The deadline for abstract submission has now been extended to October 31, 2012. Instructions on abstract submission can be found at http://www.icf13.org/. The conference anouncement is at http://www.icf13.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/final0830.pdf.
Two PhD positions in computational and experimental multiscale mechanics of materials – Eindhoven, Netherlands
Our Mechanics of Materials Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, in association with Materials innovation institute M2i, has two openings for talented PhD students in the field of multiscale mechanics of materials. They are part of a project on multiscale hygro-mechanics of paper. The industrial background of the project is in inkjet-printing. One opening is on experimental characterisation and the other on multiscale computational modelling.
For exceptionally suited young doctors we may consider changing the positions into PostDoc positions.
Discuss how safe are they? Discuss the hidden pollution caused by solar panels.
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]
24th Melosh Competition at Duke University
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.
Faculty position at the University of Washington
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.
CISM Short Course on Structure-Preserving Integrators
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.
Job offer for postdoctoral researcher
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.
Does fluid structure interaction classified as a sub-field within fluid mechanics？
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.
