PhD position at the University of Glasgow on “Modelling of geo-engineered barriers for underground nuclear waste storage”
This project will take place at the School of Engineering of the
University of Glasgow in the UK and will be jointly supervised by Dr
Domenico Gallipoli and Dr Peter Grassl. The project will develop the
simulation tools for predicting the long-term behaviour of
geo-engineered barriers used in the geological (underground) storage of
nuclear waste. A typical geological storage scheme for nuclear waste
Postdoc in Solid Mechanics at Brown University
The solid mechanics program in the School of Engineering, Brown University has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in the area of mechanics of battery electrode materials.
The successful candidate will develop and apply continuum-scale models of mechanical decrepitation and capacity loss in Li ion insertion electrodes. The project will involve close collaboration with atomic-scale modelers, experimentalists and industrial partners.
PhD Position Structure Health Monitoring
Closing date of application: March 24. 2012
The University of Stavanger invites applications for a three-year doctorate scholarship in Mechanical engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology in the Department of Mechanical and Structural and Materials Science, beginning August 15, 2012.
The title of the project is “Structural health monitoring using updated finite element models”.
University Lecturer Position in Solid Mechanics in Oxford
We have opened a position of University Lecturer (more or less equivalent to Assistant Prof and Associate Prof in the US system) in " Mathematics in Materials Science".
This is a position at the interface between mathematics and solid mechanics (and associated fields). People either with strong modelling skills or strong mathematical background are encouraged to apply.

hello.
I hope it is ok to ask this here. If not, please let me know which forum to use.
what do you recommned to use for programming finite element methods these days?
I am now learning FEM, and would like to start programming small programs to solve very simple problems to help me learn it better.
I'd like to be able to plot easily (I learn better by seeing plots than just numbers). A friend recommeneded I use Mathematica or Matlab. What other options do you recommend?
This is the list I made so far:
Does anyone have the paper “Equivalent inclusion method for steady state heat conduction in composites”?
Ｈｅｌｌｏｗ ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ， Ｉcan not find the paperin the titil, Does anyone have it ? My email address is "041858 [at] gmail.com".
Thanks very much.
