Dear Colleagues,
The 20th European Conference on Fracture (www.ecf20.no) will be held at Trondheim, in Norway on 30 June - 4 July 2014. We are inviting abstracts in the areas of fracture and fatigue at all scales! The deadline for abstract submission is 4 October, 2013.
Dear all,
Can you please suggest me some basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulation of materials. I am quite naive in this field. I have some exposure to solid mechanics and finite element techniques. I understand that I need to study molecular dynamic simulations also, where again I need advice for basic references. I would be thankful for your help.
Thanks and regards,
Shekhar
I am looking for a new Ph.D. student to work on discretization of nonlinear elasticity using geometric and topological ideas. Requirements for this position are a strong background in solid mechanics and some background in differential geometry and analysis. If interested please email me your CV.
Dear Colleague:
Please see attached for the first announcement for Contact Mechanics International Symposium (CMIS 2014); the next conference following in a series of meetings gathering engineers, mathematicians, physical scientists, and others concerned with analytical, experimental and computational treatment of interface mechanics. Full details about coverage are described in the attached announcement; the meeting will be held at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, February 3-5, 2014.
The group of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the School of Engineering at the University of Brescia, Italy has two openings for Ph.D. positions. The appointment will begin on January 1st 2014 for three full years.
there is a phd position on investigation of fracture mechanism of spot welds in automotive steels,
the funding is available for UK/EU nationals

for further information.
The 2013 Timoshenko Medal paper "Completion and Closure on Failure Criteria for Unidirectional Fiber Composite Materials " by Professor Richard Christensen from Stanford University is published in the Journal of Applied Mechanics in its January issue, 2014. Professor Christensen will receive the ASME Timoshenko Medal at the IMECE conference in San Diego, CA, in November, 2013.
There is an open position at the Institute of Applied Mechanics of the Clausthal University of Technology for a
Research Assistant
(grant is given by the GIF - German-Israeli-Foundation for Scientific Research and Development - for 3 years).
You will perform research and development work using active/passive vibration control measures to reduce vibration of typical offshore structures. You will also develop new
numerical models, new control algorithm, optimize the locations of actuator/sensors.
Requirements:
· A PhD in Mechanical/Civil Engineering
