Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad invites application for M.Tech and PhD positions in all areas of Mechanical Engineering.
The applications are to be made online via this portal.
Heres th efirst part of my new article on the CFL condition. http://www.parresianz.com/dem/CFL-condition-discrete-elements/
Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution in New Hampshire, cordially invites applications for TWO Research Associate positions to start immediately. Collaborative projects led by Dr. John Zhang and Dr. Zi Chen are sponsored by NIH Director’s Transformative Award and Fortune 500 companies in the Silicon Valley. We are looking for outstanding junior scholars with great research potential who are desirous of independent academic or industrial R&D careers.
Research Associate positions
Dear Imechanicians, I hope this turns out to be useful for some of you who are interested in sharing their computer codes. We are working on a free platform, cdmHUB.org, to allow users to quickly turn your scripts into Apps connected with HPC power in the cloud. Currently, the system can easily handle Linux or Windows executables. We are developing new functionalities so that other typical scripts such as Abaqus UMATs, Python scripts, matlab scripts can also be disseminated as launchable Apps in cloud.
This paper aims to maximize optical force or torque on arbitrary micro- and nanoscale objects using numerically optimized structured illumination. By developing a numerical framework for computer-automated design of 3d vector-field illumination, we demonstrate a 20-fold enhancement in optical torque per intensity over circularly polarized plane wave on a model plasmonic particle. The nonconvex optimization is efficiently performed by combining a compact cylindrical Bessel basis representation with a fast boundary element method and a standard derivative-free, local optimization algorithm.
We run regular one-day training courses that include introductory, advanced and bespoke training days in the UK on using Simpleware software.
Join a session to learn about how to get the most out of Simpleware when generating models from 3D image data (MRI, CT. micro-CT...) suitable for FEA, CFD, CAD and 3D Printing applications.
Fundamentals of Simpleware is ideal for new and existing users wanting to gain a working knowledge of the software, and how to use it within specific projects.
Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad is organising the 2017 International Conference on Composite Materials and Structures.
Conference webpage: http://www.iccms2017hyd.com
Dates of conference: 27-29 December
Abstract submission is now open. Last date for submission of abstracts is 30th May 2017.
A funded PhD position is open for summer or fall 2017 in the Mechanics and Dynamics Laboratory in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Wichita State University. The research program will focus on the design and development of mechanical metamaterials, their application towards aerospace structures, and will involve a combination of analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. The candidate must have a MS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and a strong background in structural mechanics and dynamics.
