I am co-organizing a mini-symposium on « Computational damage mechanics of composite materials » in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2012) with Dr. Gilles Lubineau at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dr. Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
This is an attempt to contribute to bring the discussion on non-linear issues in Continuum Mechanics (CM) under the comprehensive supervision of modern differential geometry (DG). Some people would say that engineers do not need so much mathematics, but such an opinion is a sure indicator of lack of knowledge of the matter. In fact I am an engineer, a University teacher and a designer in Structural Engineering and my experience is that a lot of troubles would have been saved to me by a basic training in DG.
A PhD position is avalaible at the Centre des Matériaux of Mines ParisTech (Paris, France). The research will focus on "Experimental and numerical analysis of sustained load cracking in Titanium". The candidates should have a master degree in mechanics, materials sciences and engineering, or computational mechanics. A full decription of the subject is attached. Interested applicants please send a resume to Dr. Matthieu Maziere (maziere [at] mat.ensmp.fr).
As one of the biggest Departments of its kind in the UK, the Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering has an international reputation for being at the forefront of technological innovation and for maintaining extensive links with industry.
Hi all,
1. In the past, we have had quite some discussion regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.
Applicants are sought to fill a post-doctoral position in
computational solid/structural mechanics and design. The selected applicant will work
closely with Prof. Masoud Rais-Rohani and his research colleagues and graduate
students at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) in the Bagley
College of Engineering at Mississippi State University. Applicants must have strong background
in finite element analysis with good knowledge of commercial codes such as ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, or MD Nastran.
Prof. Rebecca Brannon and her team have created a wonderful page containing interesting information on aspects of plasticity, damage, and computational mechanics (particularly, the Material Point Method).

EUROMECH Colloquium
540
Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids
1-3 October 2012, Institute of Thermomechanics, Academy of
Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic
The EUROMECH Colloquium 540 intends to concentrate on topics
such as
Linear and non-linear waves in solids, waves in strongly
dispersive media, solitary waves.
Wave propagation in inhomogeneous materials and in materials
with microstructures.
