solid mechanics

Dear Colleagues,

This is a gentle reminder that the 2018 Midwest Mechanics Workshop will take place at IIT, Chicago on Thursday, August 9.  The deadline for registration is July 26, so we will have time to figure out the logistics. Note that registration is free for this one-day workshop. Please see:

This video explains the concept of principal stresses using an experiment 

This video gives a basic introduction to von mises stress, which is widely used in the structural analysis & design.

Description: Outstanding applications are invited to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UCL as part of an EPSRC industrial CASE (iCASE) PhD studentship. The PhD project is being jointly supervised by Professor Ian Eames and Dr Emad Moeendarbary from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (University College London, UCL) and Dr Alireza Azarbadegan from BP plc (British multinational oil and gas company).

The Mechanics and Computation Group (Department of Mechanical Engineering) at Stanford University is seeking applicants for the “Stephen Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship.” This appointment is for a term of two years, beginning in September 2018.

Postdoctoral Positions:

Our group has one postdoctoral position opening supported by Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)-Digital Manufacturing and Design (DManD) Centre for a projects of 3D printing with active materials.

We are seeking self-motivated postdoctoral researchers with a strong background on solid mechanics, FEA simulation and material characterization.

The successful candidate is required to have:
