AxSTREAM Turbomachinery Coceptual Design Suite. Demo movies

Hi All,

I'm involved in development of AxSTREAM Turbomachinery Coceptual Design Suite.

 

We belives that AxSTREAM has a great potentia not onlly in industry but in education too. We have good cooperation with PSU and a number of other univercities around globe.

Some time ago we started a new series of animated demo with narration, related to latest version AxSTREAM-III.

Now I'd like   to share first ones.

Lecturer in Computational/Theoretical Solid Mechanics (permanent) at Durham University, UK

Postdoctoral Researcher in Modelling of Composite Materials Manufacturing Processes

Applicants are invited for the above post, starting Sept 1st, 2011 or soon thereafter, which is funded by Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, through the Competence Centre Programme. The successful candidate will be required to carry out modelling activities related to polymer matrix composites manufacturing, particularly by automated tow placement and liquid resin infusion processes. Developed models will be expected to assist design of concurrent experimental programmes, carried out by other researchers.

Some references on dynamic testing

First of all, I would like to thank you all for the response. I apologize for the much delayed reply.

In what follows, I will list a few references about
dynamic behaviors of materials at large and the testing techniques. Of
course I will definitely omit some important books or papers since after
all I am more a materials scientist. Therefore, if you know of know of
any good references, please let us know.

Need recommendation of PhD courses

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi I am a PhD. Student at Aalborg University at Department for Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in Denmark. In short my PhD project treats modeling delamination damage in laminated fibrous composite structures under quasi-static and cyclic loading. I am having a hard time finding good relevant PhD-courses so now I am turning to you to ask you if you can recommend any good courses falling under the following criteria:

New Editor-in-Chief for Acta Astronautica, the journal of the International Academy of Astronautics

During the Acta Astronautica Editorial Board held at the 61st IAC, Prague September 2010, Editor-in-Chief Rupert Gerzer announced that due to his steadily and steeply increasing work load at the DLR, he felt it best to turn the reins of Editor-in-Chief over to the very qualified and able (Rock) Jeng-Shing Chern who has served as Comission IV Editor since 2008. You can read Rock's editorial on ScienceDirect http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576511001020

Date: June 2, 2011

Time: 10:00 AM EST

As a change from the usual Concepts NREC focus on the "state-of-the-art," in this Webinar, Dr. Nick Baines, Distinguished Corporate Fellow at CN, will go back in time. He will summarize the history of the steam turbine, which began 2000 years ago, and, beginning in the 19th century, led the way in electrical power generation and ship propulsion.
