Dear all,

Please find enclosed our paper which is published on Journal of Multiscale Modelling
Vol. 3, No. 4 (2011) 1–42 which gives an overview of state of the art multiscale techniques for material modeling. 

The paper discusses the following topics: homogenization, Representative volume element, computational homogenization (Fe2 methods) for both both bulk materials and strong discontinuities. 

I hope the paper is useful for beginners to the field.

All the bests, 

Enrique Romero (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech, Spain) and Jean-Michel Pereira (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, France) are organizing a mini-symposium on "Coupled
processes in geomechanics. Bridging theory and experiments"
(MS16) at the 5th Biot Conference on Poromechanics to be held in
Vienna, Austria, July 10-12, 2013.

We are looking for candidates for
the Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship Juan de la Cierva. Details of the fellowship
appear at Ministerio de Economia y
Competitividad (MINECO) website.

Dear colleagues,

please consider applying for the faculty position in my Department described in the attached announcement. As you can see one of the focus areas of interest is in Aerospace Materials and Structures for which applicants with expertise in Solid Mechanics would be a great fit.

Sincerely,

Raul Radovitzky

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the "Eshelby-UH Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award will be given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

The NNIN/C at the University of Michigan will be hosting a presentation on ”System Level Analysis & Simulation for MEMS”, which will be broadcast live as a web based seminar. 

 The Webinar will be webcast live from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT on 31st October, 2012. 

New Technologies - Research Centre at the University of West Bohemia
(Czech Republic) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the
field of FE software development. Highly motivated individuals holding a
PhD in applied mathematics or mechanics, numerical analysis and
programming or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.




The postdoc position in the field of FE software development is focused
on mathematical description of contact algorithms for deformable bodies

Join us in Vienna, Austria, May 21-24, 2013, and share your success story!

Abstracts for papers are due November 5, 2012.

All users of SIMULIA products including Abaqus FEA, Multiphysics, Isight and Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) are
invited to submit an abstract.
