Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit an abstract to 1702 Computational Geophysics; a minisymposium that will take place as part of the upcoming 13th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (New York July 22- July 27, 2018) : http://www.wccm2018.org/MS_1702
Abstract Deadline: Dec 31st, 2017
There are PhD and MS openings at the University of California Merced in the Mechanical Engineering Department. UC Merced is the newest campus of the well-known University of California system. Because the campus is still relatively small, most incoming graduate students are funded via Teaching Assistantship or Graduate Research Assistantship. Also, the application fee will be refunded for students who are admitted and join the program in the Fall. The application deadline is January 2018.
Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for two tenure-track/tenured faculty position in all areas of aerospace engineering sciences.
We are looking for a doctoral student to work on numerical modelling of fragmentation of quasi-brittle materials. In more detail, you will study breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks. These phenomena occur under compressive loads in ice block to ice block contacts. The fragmentation process is complicated, and requires novel numerical modelling techniques. Modelling may need to be done on different scales, which may have to reach from very high resolution modeling to simplified contact models on larger scale.
Hello,
I have recently done a simple hourglass model to check the influence of hardening parameters in Abaqus. The reason was the effects of the parameters' change in bigger models were a bit surprising, therefore I needed to investigate the reason using some simpler model. Please see file 1.
After performing tension/compression cycles I got results as shown in files 2, 3, 4 and 5. Please note that only the hardening parameter in the description changes, the other three stays the same for each series.
A postdoctoral researcher or a PHD RA position is available immediately in Smart Material Lab of the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering at the University of North Texas. The postdoc/RA will work on a project on ultrasound through wall data communications. Ideal candidates should have a background in mechanical or electrical engineering and should have some of the following experience:
1. Knowledge and skills on piezoelectric device design such as sensors and energy harvesters
2. Understanding of ultrasound theory and experiment method
Dear Colleagues,

A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of Mechanics of Materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.
Further details may be obtained from Ms Hambro-Fernandez (Div-C [at] eng.cam.ac.uk (Div-C[at]eng[dot]cam[dot]ac[dot]uk))
