modeling

Dear colleagues,

I invite you to submit an abstract to the following minisymposium: Modeling and Characterization of Nanocomposites and Molecular Heterostructures as part of the Engineering Mechanics Institute annual conference at Stanford University.

See: http://www.emi2015.info

Best Regards,

Steven Cranford

Northeastern University

MS 12: Modeling and Characterization of Nanocomposites and Molecular Heterostructures

UPDATE:  The 2nd Sandia Fracture Challenge is now LIVE!  See attached information packet.

We are looking for a highly-motivated research
fellow to work in the area of applied mechanics and materials.

The project is on energy harvesting using soft active materials. This is a joint effort between the Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR), and the National
University of Singapore.  The applicant
must hold a PhD degree, prior post-doctoral experience is not required. Relevant
experience in (1) experiments and/or (2) finite element modeling and simulation
is preferred.

The 6th International PhD Student Workshop on Durability of Reinforced
Concrete will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, during July 4 and 5,
2013, hosted by TUDelft. After a series of successful workshops, most
recently in Espoo (2012), Madrid (2010) and Guimarães (2009), IPSW2013
will be held under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities
Committee), aiming to bring together young researchers in the field of
durability of concrete.

Dear Colleagues,

Dear Colleagues,

The Thirteenth
Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIII) will be held in
Houston, TX, USA. The conference dates are May 22-24th, 2013.

Two postdoctoral positions in Computational Chemistry/Materials are to be filled in the group of Peter Kroll in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UT Arlington, Arlington, TX. The position is available immedeately and should be filled until January 2013. 

One project focuses on boron nitride and addresses the conversion from an amorphous pre-ceramic state to cubic boron nitride. The second project is on oxidation mechanisms and kinetics of high-temperature ceramics, with a goal to bridge between atomistic computations and kinetic simulations.

Post-Doc Position:

Multiscale Simulations of Domain Structures in Thermoelectric Materials

My co-organizers and I invite you to submit an abstract to the upcoming symposium “Multiscale Perspectives on Plasticity in Metals” at the ASME 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE), to be held November 9-15, 2012 in Houston, Texas. This symposium will explore the unique challenges to understanding plastic deformation in metals and formulating material models that can accurately predict thermo-mechanical deformation.

Post-Doctoral Fellow Position
Microstructural Modeling of PEM Fuel Cell Materials
Simon Fraser University Fuel Cell Laboratory
Vancouver, Canada
Starting Date: December 1, 2011

There are several openings for semiconductor process integration at IBM Microelectronics. The reqiured background is quite broad, specifically mechanical engineering background, reliability, failure analysis and modeling with experience in BEOL process and integration.

Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).  This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone. 

The Micromechanics of Materials group at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials in the Netherlands is looking for a qualified PhD student to unravel irradiation-induced embrittlement in nuclear materials. A detailed description can be found in the attachment. Ideally, candidates have an MSc degree in mechanical or nuclear engineering, (applied) physics, material science or a related field, but holders of a BSc with the highest ranks may also be considered.

Apply before it's too late: June 1. 

Submissions for Poster Presentation
The deadline for Poster submissions is fast approaching. To submit your 250 word abstract, go to the online submission system.

Interested applicants should send their materials to Professor Paul W. Leu at pleu@pitt.edu.  http://www.pitt.edu/~pleu/Research/index.html 

Graduate Students Openings

There is a Post doctoral Position available with my supervisor Prof.Sridhar Idapalapati.  The candidate should have PhD degree with background in  impact mechanics, fracture mechanics and exposure to finite element modeling packages such as AUTODYN software. Exposure (handson) to drop tests or Hopkinson bar tests is an added advantage.

If u are interested plz contact him directly @ msridhar@ntu.edu.sg
