Post-doc Newton Fellowship

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on

Dear all,

 

Below is an opportunity to apply for post-doctoral positions in the UK for two years if you are not currently working in the UK. I am currently looking for candidates with expertise in computational mechanics to complement the work being performed by 4 to 5 Ph.D. students in areas related to: (1) fracture mechanics (2) surgical simulation (3) multiphysics and multiscale modelling of fracture in materials with complex architectures. Please contact me if you are interested stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com

The Paris equation

Submitted by raulito on
The  Paris equation should correctly be referred to as the ERDOGAN-PARIS equation, maybe some more names may be needed.
LEFM is a term bandied about in the text books, but very few texts  know how to define what it means and how it applies.
You can take my course.  What happened to the earlier posts about my course.
Anyone who contributes to my DORN-RAJNAK or HARPER DORN will be given credit.
 

Domain structures of ferroelectric nanotubes controlled by surface charge compensation

Submitted by Jie Wang on

Ferroelectric nanotubes have potential application in inkjet printing and drug delivery due to their piezoelectric property and unique geometry. For different applications, different electrical boundary conditions are applied to ferroelectric nanotubes. In the present work, domain structures in ferroelectric nanotubes (FNTs) under different electrical boundary conditions are predicted through a phase field model. Simulation results show that domain structures are highly dependent on the compensation of polarization-induced surface charges.

M Tech/ME and B Tech/BE Projects Available in Pune (Mech., CS, etc.)

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

I have quite a few ideas for MTech/ME/BTech/BE degree projects. The projects may be suitable in many different branches, including Mechanical, Computer Science, Metallurgical, Aerospace, Civil, etc. (In a few cases, MSc/M Phil students of departments like Physics or Computer Modeling and Simulation would be suitable too.)

All these projects are available for the new academic year (2008-09), at Pune, India.
