Apply toward PhD position
Dear viewer, I was wondering if you can help me by introducing me toward a PhD position in a good university.
If you are interested please let me know to send you my resume.
I am a Master of Science
student in Mechanical Engineering in Isfahan University of Technology, Iran and
I'm expected to graduate on September 2011.
*Nodefile in ABAQUS 6.9-3
hey friends,
i am using abaqus 6.9-3 on win7. i need to use *nodefile command in the input file. But when i run the file through GUI it says:
WARNING: The following keywords/parameters are not yet supported by the input file reader:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*BOUNDARY, LOADCASE
*NODEFILE
Please help me.....
also i wud like info on running jobs through command prompt. I have no idea about this.
I have added commands directory to system variables......
Prediction of CTEs of orthotropic composites
Hello
Are any analytical solutions for the effective CTEs (coefficent of thermal expansion) of orthotropic composites available?
I am trying to predict the CTEs of a resin matrix with Al reinforced fibers which have a rectangular cross-section (not a square). All the fiber in 90 degree direction. I know the volume fractions and the details of the rectangular cross section as well as the properties of the resin and Al. The CTEs in the two transverse directions are different.
Thanks and regards

Mechanical-magnetic coupled harmonic analysis
Dear readers
I am trying to carry out a mechanical-magnetic coupled harmonic analysis by using ANSYS. Any ideas, advice or difficulties on this kind of coupled harmonic analysis are greatly appreciaed.
Thanks and regards#

ERC Starting Grant Research Group recruiting 3 post-doctoral fellows
The European
Research Council funded RealTCut Research Group is seeking three Research
Assistants/Associates over a 5 year period on project: “Towards real time multiscale simulation of cutting in
non-linear materials with applications to surgical simulation and computer
guided surgery.”
“ERC grants aim to support
"frontier research", in other words the pursuit of questions at or
beyond the frontiers of knowledge, without regard for established disciplinary
boundaries.”
PhD studentship in Nanomechanics for European (EEA) students
Cardiff
University, School of Engineering.
PhD studentships in
Nanomechanics
You will work on nanomechanical modelling of contact, friction and molecular
adhesion at the nano/micro-scales under the supervision of Prof. F.M. Borodich and
Prof. H.P. Evans. The studies will be applied
to nanotribological systems that are governed by the physical processes applicable
at the nanoscale. These include adhesion caused by van der Waals interactions
and capillary effects, and various surface effects. Fundamental understanding
Looking for a doctoral position in the field of (solid) computational mechanics
Hello, My name is Nguyen Van Chau, an engineer at Mitsubishi Motor Company, Japan. I have been working on some projects which relate in structure analysis, fluid analysis for automobile since 2009/01. I am finishing my work and therefore seeking for a doctoral position starting after 2011/12.
My expertise in computational solid mechanics includes:

Nonlinear free and forced vibration analysis of a single-walled carbon nanotube using shell model
Payam Soltani, J. Saberian, R. Bahramian, and A. Farshidianfar
In this Paper, the nonlinear free and force vibration of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is
investigated based on von Karman’s geometric nonlinearity. The SWCNT described as an individual shell and the Donnell’s
equations of cylindrical shells are used to obtain the governing equations. The Galerkin's procedure is used to discretized partial
Special Saint-Venant's Principe of the “ Hole in Plate” Problem
The problem of the
infinite plate with a central hole loaded by an equilibrium system of forces is
generalized and its formulation of Special Saint-Venant's Principle is
established. It is essential to develop mathematical theories of Special
Saint-Venant's Principle one by one if Elasticity has to be constructed to be
rational, logical, rigorous and secure mechanics.
