Dear all,
In micomechanics, homogenization of heterogeneous
materials based on FEM is traditional. Homogenization based on FFT technique has been recently found (in many literatures) to have much more advantages
in term of accuracy, computational cost and resource consumption.
I am wondering why FEMs are still
widely used in education, research, and industries of
generally
computational
mechanics ?
Please could anyone help me to clarify
my question?
Thanks
Our group at North Carolina State University is hiring PhD students and Post-doctoral Associates in the areas of multiscale modeling, computational mechanics, fracture, and plasticity.
Interested parties should email zikry [at] ncsu.edu, and send a cv with a few representative publications.

There is an immediate opening for a Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T - formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). The Metallurgical Engineering program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected in the U.S. (http://mse.mst.edu).
The Ph.D. research project is about developing a coupled phase-field crystal plasticity model for predicting stress-strain-microstructures relations during deformation.

Two postdoctoral fellow positions at Northeastern University are available immediately. First position is focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of soft matter using computational mechanics and the development and analysis of biomimetic materials and structural systems. Second position is focused on computational and solid mechanics. The research will be carried out at the High Performance Materials and Structures Laboratory (http://www.hpmsl.neu.edu/).
