In Memoriam: Dr Louis Cloutier (1936-2017)
My friend and former colleague, Dr. Louis Cloutier, passed away on February 26. A long time Hydro-Quebec engineer, among other achievements, he will be remembered for his major contribution to the solution of electric power transmission mechanical problems, most notably to Aeolian vibration control, and related conductor fatigue.
PhD Positions in Polymer Composites (Mechanical Engineering at University of Maine)
There are two open positions starting in the fall of 2017 for PhD students interested in analysis and design optimization of polymer composite materials and structures subject to impact and shock loading conditions. A master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field is required. Students will have an opportunity to work closely with the faculty in mechical engineering and researchers at Advanced Structures and Composites Center at UMaine.
The positions are restricted to individuals with US citizenship or permanent residency.
