Dear all,
The following minisymposium as part of the Society of Engineering Sciences upcoming meeting [Oct 1-3 (2014) : Purdue University] may be of interest to you.
http://www.cvent.com/events/ses-annual-technical-meeting/custom-37-756e…
Looking forward to seeing you there.
There is an immediate opening for a PhD student
position with a target start date of August 2014 in the Computational
Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory at Villanova University.
Research projects will be in the general area of
computational mechanics with an emphasis on biological materials. Candidates
with a strong background and interest in mechanics, biomechanics and
computational modeling are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a Master’s
degree and previous research experience are preferred.
You can access all the articles published so far from the journal homepage: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/case-studies-in-construction-materials/recent-articles/
You can also submit your papers, go to: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/case-studies-in-construction-materials/
Hi. I'm working on multiscale modeling of soft tissues. I'm working
on modeling an orthotropic wavy fiber in WB. I write an APDL routine to
change the element coordinate system of each element with accordance to
the fiber curvature. Ansys documentation said that in the case of large
deflection analysis, the element coordinate system will be rotated with
accordance to element rigid body rotation. My problem is that, after the
solution, the elements coordinate system of some elements rotate
more/less than the rigid body rotation of the elements and fiber
My group in the Deaprtment of Engineering Science & Mechanics /Biomedical Engineering has an immediate RA opening, expected to start from the Fall of 2014.
The student of this position will be working on establishing computational mechanics models incorporating essential electrochemical details to study the performance and degradation of battery materials. We use both continuum theories as well as molecular dynamics as essential tools for simulations. The student will also have the opportunities to work with experimental team members on biomechanics.
We are looking for a PhD
student to work on Numerical modelling of landslides and generated seismic waves.
This PhD is funded by the European project ERC SLIDEQUAKES.

1. The focus of the first PhD project is numerical methods in contact mechanics
"Development of advanced numerical methods in contact mechanics for aerospace applications"
2. The second PhD project aims at understanding of deformation and failure of embedded micro-chips via finite element analysis + some developments in finite element code Z-set
"Development of advanced multi-scale numerical methods for mechanical simulation of fabric embedded microelectronic devices"
This is a reminder to invite you to submit an abstract for the 24th International Workshop on
Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM 24) in Madrid, Spain on October 1st-3rd.
The abstract submission will close in
less than 3 weeks.
Dear everyone,
The second issue in 2014 (Volume 4, Issue 2) of Theoretical and Applied Mehcanic Letters (TAML) is now online.
