Dear Colleague,

we are organizing a thematic session on Contact Mechanics (SM02) at the 26th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM), Daegu, Korea, August 25-30, 2024, www.ictam2024.org

We are also pleased to inform you that: 

The M2DO lab at UC San Diego has two Post-Doctoral Researcher Openings to conduct research in developing topology optimization in collaboration with NASA, Boeing, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories.

Dear Colleagues, after a great success of the inaugural ASME Aerospace Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials (SSDM) conference this past summer, I am writing to cordially invite you to attend its 2^nd edition in Seattle, USA, April 29-May 1^st, 2024. The main feature of the SSDM conference is:

My lab has a postdoc position open, start immediately. U.S. Citizen preferred. 

Please send your CV and a cover letter highlighting qualifications. 

thank you. 

Qualifications:

o   Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related fields

o   Expertise in computational mechanics, with deep understanding of finite element theory and implementation

o   Deep knowledge in mechanics of materials and/or fluid mechanics

Merel Schalkers from TU Delft will be presenting (Friday December 15, 2023, 5 PM EST) their latest research on quantum computational fluid dynamics. We invite you to attend the USACM Student Chapter Seminar to learn more about this exciting topic.

Title:

Towards scalable and fail-safe quantum computational fluid dynamics using the Boltzmann equation

Abstract

Background: Helmet systems most commonly experience oblique blunt impacts which cause simultaneous linear and rotational accelerations. The ability to attenuate both linear and rotational accelerations by absorbing the normal shock while accommodating large shear deformations with energy dissipation is critical to developing superior helmet liners that prevent traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The Willerson Center for Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation jointly with the Zoldan Lab, have an immediate opening for a highly motivated graduate student in the area of cellular mechanics modeling.

We invite applications for post-doctoral and Ph.D. positions in topology optimization, machine learning and data-driven computational design, multi-physics simulation including multi-phase flow, and uncertainty quatification.
