Advances in fabrication technologies are enabling the production of architected materials with unprecedented properties. Most such materials are characterized by a fixed geometry, but in the design of some materials it is possible to incorporate internal mechanisms capable of reconfiguring their spatial architecture, and in this way to enable tunable functionality.
A research group at Iowa State University (https://www.aere.iastate.edu/lmxiong/) is looking for research assistants in the field of solid mechanics, computational mechanics, computational materials science and engineering. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, or mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.
Hello everyone,
I found that there is no comprehensive topic about how to calculate material jacobian matrix for UMAT while it's one of the most complicated and important parts of writing a subroutine and a lot of the researchers deal with it.
I think it would be great if experts share their sources and experiences here for all. I personally, try to provide the basics and essential materials as well.

Employment as an assistant researcher (Post-doc) at the project OPUS from National Centre of Science.
The Mechanics Department at École Polytechnique invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in all areas of mechanics. See details in joint document.
Excitation of non-dispersive shear-horizontal (SH) waves in plates is always a challenge. Recently, we successfully excited single-mode SH0 wave in plates using a face-shear (d24) mode piezoelectric transducer. Meanwhile, the d24 mode transducer can selectively receive SH0 wave and filter Lamb waves. This work was published as a Letter in the IOP journal Smart Materials and Structures (http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/25/11/11LT01）.
Dear Colleagues,
I am Dr. Emin Taner ELMAS from İzmir, Turkey; and I am also a member of International Association of Engineers and also a member of its Society for Mechanical Engineering with member number 164672. The IAENG has sent me a request to circulate this calls for papers to my colleagues, related to "Call for Papers: The World Congress on Engineering WCE 2017".
Therefore , I am sending you this Conference Announcement of "Call for Papers" for my colleagues who may be interested in below subjects.
Best Regards,
