CORNELL UNIVERSITY School of Civil and Environmental Engineering announces a tenure-track faculty position in structural engineering starting in Fall 2012-2013.

At Cornell, structural engineering is conceived of broadly, to encompass structures across scales where well understood physical laws apply. We are currently seeking a person in stochastic mechanics, with the ability to develop and use modern computational tools to solve real problems and to advance both the understanding and design of complex structural systems across a range of materials.

An interesting application of non linear dynamics, including happiness with a simple 1D damped oscillator!

You can find really interesting cam follower and energy research with practical prototype.

I have added another video.

Two post-doctoral fellow positions are available in Sharma's research group at University of Houston. Potential candidates can visit the following website to get an idea of the kind of research projects undertaken in this group: http://www2.egr.uh.edu/~psharma/index.html. The positions are for one year but renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance. Candidates are expected to be familiar with both atomistic calculation methods and continuum mechanics.

Notes and slides for a course on engineering thermodynamics.  I used the Dover edition of Carnot's book.
