NANO-SCALE CALORIMETRY
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS SCIENCE
School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks highly qualified applicants for a post-doctoral research position in experimental materials science. The successful candidate will participate in a project to design an apparatus for high-temperature calorimetry on nanoscale quantities of materials. This apparatus will be used to study phase transformations in complex ternary and quaternary materials systems.
any idea about boundary conditions to be used when modelling a unit cell of a foam
Dear friends / distinguished imechanicians,
I am trying to use micromechanics in foams to numerically compute the elastic constants using one unit cell. I see some literature available when simple unit cell shapes are assumed (like cubical or hexagonal). However there is nothing specific about modelling for tetrakaidecahedral foams. Assuming the right boundary conditions would be critical for computing the constants. I am not able to come up with a reapeating pattern for determining the places to apply the boundary conditions.

Citation Statistics Report by the IMU
Here is a report on Citation Statistics written by the International Mathematical Union written in cooperation with the ICIAM and IMS.
Given all the discussion on impact factors and h-indicies, I thought many people may find this report interesting.
Abaqus: How to display a new tensor define by myself in vumat?
Hi, all
I am writing one code of vumat. I want to know how to display the contour of a new tensor define by myself in vumat.
It is seems that we can use SDV to realize this in UMAT. But in vumat, how to display the results in the post processor of abaqus?
thanks
wang
ABAQUS UMAT
Hello;
In my graduation project, the instructor wanted from me to work the
UMAT Subroutines in ABAQUS. I am looking for someone who can help to me
about this issue. I really got an urge for completin this project and
really need of somebody's help.
From now am thanking to the ones who will help to me.
I am lettin my msn adress for the ones who want to contact with me...:

investigation on mechanical properties of clay-polymer nanocomposites
Hi all
I have a question and need for guidence.
I' m working on mechanical properties of polymer based nanocomposites as my thesis. I'm a beaginer in open sourse FEM programs.
I want to modele clay, polymer and specialy interactions between them to investigate bending properties and enhancements.
Is it possible for me to use commercial programs like ABAQUS? Which programe do you prefer?
I will appreciated if any one could help me to identify witch method is more suitable for investigation in this field.
Europe’s research system must change: Nature Vol 452|24 April 2008
Dear Imechanica friend
a recent Nature Commentary has generated a lot of interest, particularly in Europe. Maybe it is of interest, also in response to Grand Challenges for Engineering?
I suggest some lines:
