The Department of Industrial Engineering, The University of Trento (Italy) opened a PhD position on multifunctional electro-mechanical transducers based on dielectric liquids and electro-active polymers (EAPs), namely liquid-based EAPs (LEAPs).
This VIDEO gives a very intuitive explanation of stress concentration with an analogy and an experimental demonstration.
Dear colleagues,
on behalf of the organizers, I would like to bring to your attention the training course for Ph.D. students, engineers, and researchers interested in acquiring the working knowledge of OOFEM, an open-source object-oriented finite element package that has been developed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague for more than twenty years.
Dear colleagues,
CEMEF, a research Center of Mines Paristech, is offering a Post Master degree in Digital Materials and Advanced Processes Modeling.
This training program - delivered in English - is open to students holding a master degree in mechanics and/or in computational engineering.
The main goal of this program is to provide students with additional training to deal with the new numerical challenges faced in the manufacturing industry.
This video explains the concept of principal stresses using an experiment
A one-week CISM Advanced School on "Mechanics of strain gradient materials", coordinated by Albrecht Bertram and Samuel Forest, will take place in Udine, Italy, next May 14th-18th.
This video contains an experimental demonstration of a simple bending and torsion and further speculate the nature of stresses induced by the respective loading scenarios
