Assistant Professor Position at Penn State University

Submitted by Aman Haque on

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor position in Mechanical Engineering. The position is open for highly-qualified individuals performing research in technical areas that support our multidisciplinary mechanical engineering curriculum. Priority will be given to applicants with strong background or potential in experimental or computational approaches for biomedical systems or components. The ability to merge mechanical engineering (e.g., solid and fluid mechanics, design, acoustics, heat transfer) concepts with biomedical (e.g., bio-mechanics, imaging, implants and prostheses, microdevices) applications is highly desirable.

Mimics®14 enables design on anatomical data

Submitted by Mimics on

Mimics 14 comes with a CAD-like functionality, enabling you to design directly on anatomical data. 

 

Leuven, Belgium, October 4, 2010. Materialise NV, the world leader in software for 3D medical image processing, announces the release of Mimics 14. This release integrates ‘digital’ CAD, allowing fast and accurate design of e.g. implants and surgical guides, starting from a patient’s CT or MRI data.

Evoution of Yield surfaces: Past and Future Trend - Part 1

Submitted by Amit Pandey on

It is essential to know the amount of springback for a given forming process, so that the process or the design of the tool can be modified to obtain the desired product shape. This requires a comprehensive understanding of loading and unloading processes, and determination of elastic constants with finite plastic deformation which, in turn, require precise determination of subsequent yield surfaces.
