A short course on "stability analysis and bifurcation theory" by Ryan Elliott
With a growing interest in soft materials, stability and bifurcation analysis is re-emerging to be a critical topic for mechanicians. There are some excellent books out there but most tend to focus on finite dimensional systems rather than (continuous) infinite dimensional systems which are of most interest to mechanicians. In general, much of the modern developments on this topic are scattered across journal papers and perhaps there are not too many pedagogical resources for beginners.
Faculty positions at the MAE department of University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL

This hiring program is part of a comprehensive growth plan to significantly increase the faculty size. Candidates with backgrounds in any area of mechanical or aerospace engineering or related disciplines will be considered. Exceptionally well-qualified candidates will be considered for Provost Professor designation.
Implementation MMA Code (Svanberg) in 88 line code (Andreassen, Sigmund) with Heaviside projection method
Dear members,
I'm strugling with implementing the MMA code (Svanberg) in the 88 line code with Heaviside projection method.
The sensitivity and density filter both work correctly, but when ft == 3 (Heaviside) my volfrac goes to 1 (when it's supposed to be 0.5 or something else)
Can somebody help me with this?
I just paste the code here (without the MMA part, mmasub & subsolv, because its too long and I have not changed anything different than the original of Svanberg)
