Two Postdoc positions at Northeastern: Cellular structures, Soft Matter, and Biomimetic materials and structures
Two postdoctoral fellow positions at Northeastern University are available immediately, focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of structures and soft matter using computational mechanics and the development and analysis of active cellular structures, and biomimetic materials. The research will be carried out at the High Performance Materials and Structures Laboratory (http://www.hpmsl.neu.edu/).
Postdoctoral Position: Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut
The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of mechanical behavior of materials at the mesoscale. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the development and application of mesoscale models to investigate the dynamic response of metallic materials (high strain rate, shock) and will involve generation of data using atomistic simulations (molecular dynamics) for validation.

Why Abaqus give incorrect result in plane strain plasticity?!!
There is an incorrect result from Abaqus in plane strain plasticity simulation. In this short video, this result is shown.
It would be pleased if anybody have any idea about why this happen ?!!

A DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITION IN FRACTURE OF SEA ICE
Aalto University School of Engineering in Finland has an open position for a doctoral student in the Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at the Department of Applied Mechanics. Our research group studies the behavior of ships and structures in ice, ice mechanics and also assesses the impact of sea ice on the safety of maritime transportation. An important part of our research is experimental work. For that we have excellent possibilities as we operate the Aalto Ice Tank, a 40 m × 40 m ice model basin.
JAM now publishes a new type of paper: A Perspective
JAM now publishes a new type of paper -- A Perspective. As invited by the Editor of JAM, the authors write a short (2~3 published pages) perspective paper on an emerging field, or an important new discovery, in mechanics. The inaugural perspective paper, "Toughening Graphene With Topological Defects: A Perspective" by Dr. Teng Zhang and Prof. Huajian Gao from Brown University, was published in the May issue, 2015. The PDF of the paper is attached.
Postdoc Position in Computational Modeling of Growth and Remodeling Mechanisms
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the laboratory of Rafael Grytz, PhD, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, for 2 years, starting immediately. The candidate will be instrumental in developing computational methods to quantify and simulate growth and remodeling mechanisms in ocular conditions and diseases.
Call for Abstract : Fifth International Indentation Workshop, Nov.1-5, 2015, Richardson, USA.
Dear Colleagues,
Indentation, in particular, instrumented nanoindentation has become an elegant and effective technique for probing materials behavior at nanoscales and up.
We are now organizing the Fifth International Indentation Workshop (IIW5), which will take place at the University of Texas at Dallas, USA on November 1-5, 2015.
