After testing for some time, Lesley Lam has just upgraded iMechanica to Drupal 5. She has tried to make every function exactly the same as before, so that users should not see any abrupt changes. If you do find any unfamiliar behavior of the new version, please leave a comment below.
The Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), a member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, invites applications for eight available positions for research scientists in the field of theoretical and computational mechanics and materials science. These positions are connected to the A*STAR-sponsored Visiting Investigator Program (VIP) with Prof. Huajian Gao from Brown University as the Principle Investigator.
I am looking for a teaching, research or IT position in New York City or around.
Sincerely,
Dr. Vasiliy S. Znamenskiy

Nowadays, we often use the tools of computational analysis in engineering design. For the results of such analyses to be believable, the tools that are used have to pass rigorous tests. There are two categories of tests involved:

As a moderator here on iMechanica, I have deleted a few posts recently that were clearly spam. As iMechanica grows and becomes more visible within the mechanics community and the broader internet community, we can expect the frequency of these kinds of posts to increase.
