computational mechanics

If the modal properties are obtained from ambient excitation, then the mode shapes will not be mass-normalized. what may be the reason ? 

The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University has one open PhD position for Spring 2014.  The research in ACML is focused on the implementation of advanced finite element and meshfree methods for the computational modeling of materials with complex geometries, corrosion, damage/fracture mechanics, and multi-physics simulations.

One postdoctoral research associate position is available (dates negotiable). The successful candidate will work on one or multiples of the following topics: mechanics of morphogenesis in plants and embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g., DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinspired structures. The candidate should have received (or expect to receive very soon) a Ph.D.

Dear All,

We are planning to offer several PhD/Post-Doc positions at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The positions are expected to be in the area of computational mechanics including finite element analysis and panel methods. If you are interested, please send your current CV to oterkus [at] gmail.com .

Best Regards,

Dr. Erkan Oterkus

One PhD student position available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engnieering of the University of Central Florida. Students with background in solid mechanics, computational mechanics and finite element analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. To apply, please send your resume and representative publications (if have) to Dr. Yuanli Bai (bai [at] ucf.edu).  The opening is until Spring 2014.
