Journal Club February 2010: Mechanics of Patterned and Structured Interfaces

Submitted by Kevin T Turner on Sat, 2010-01-30 02:48.

Welcome to February 2010 Journal Club!  This month, I look forward to a lively discussion on the mechanics of structured and patterned interfaces in which geometry is used to tailor adhesion.  Much of the work in this area has been inspired by a variety of animals and insects that have feet covered with small structures (often hierarchical and sub-micrometer in size at the end) that allow them to strongly adhere to a broad range of surfaces.  The best known example is the Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko), which can achieve an adhesion force much greater than its body weight and can quickly form and separate adhesive contacts between their feet and a range of smooth and rough surfaces.  In the journal club this month I do not want to delve into the mechanics of Gecko a

Lectureship in Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford

Submitted by goriely on Tue, 2010-02-09 07:53.

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to advertise an opening of a lectureship in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford
The lectureship is in the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics part of the Mathematical Institute . I am particularly interested in candidates at the interface between mathematics and mechanics.
(Note that a lectureship at Oxford is a permanent Faculty appointment more or less equivalent to an assistant, or associate level in the US).

Please pass the information to anybody who may be interested.

Properties of 304 stainless steel

Submitted by stefano cassar on Tue, 2010-02-09 07:04.

Dear all

 I am doing my dissertation on laser forming of 304 stainless steel. as part of my dissertation I need to model the proces by Ansys. I need the to know how the properties such as density, thermal expansion etc change with temperature.

does anyone knows from where I can found such information please?

Thanks for your help

 Stefano
