I am advertising a 2 to 3 year post-doctoral position to work with me on aspect of soft-tissue mechanics (modelling/computation).
I am looking for somebody with strong numerical background and some experience in the modelling of soft-tissues (brain in particular)
For more info, have a look at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/23489 or contact me directly at goriely [at] maths.ox.ac.uk.
The Mathematical Institute at Oxford is advertising three post-doctoral positions within the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics for(ideally) a 1st April 2011 start. The project titles (with links for more information) are:
1. Brain Mechanics, Cortex Folding, and Pattern Formation in Growing Tissues.

I am doing research involving the finite element modeling of a human head namely Scalp, Skull, Brain & Duramater using Abaqus/CAE. I have finished modeling the parts, assigning the material properties, assembling and meshing the said model. I need to drop the whole assembly onto a 'floor'. What step should I choose. Also what interaction would I have to create so that the head would shear when it is dropped a distance less than 1 cm. Also bear in mind that it should not bounce.
Thank you.
