The 22nd Annual Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis will be held at Duke University on April 30, 2010.  The competition has become one of the premier graduate student events in the broad area of mechanics. 

Hi everybody

    At present, I am studying for master's degree for geotechnical engineering.  I am

One postdoctoral position is currently available for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations—preferably atomistic methods—to develop approaches for solving inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling (i.e. determining what atomic-level structures and compositions yield desired macroscale properties, rather than predicting macroscale properties given atomic-level information). These methods will be applied to the design of radiation resistant nanocomposites in collaboration with an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Los Alamos NL.

The Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow research position in topology optimization. The Fellow will focus on

For those who are interested in meshfree methods I think this could be an interesting paper/MATLAB code to look here and
