Ph.D. position in material modelling
Please see attached pdf for detailed information.
The group Material Science and Simulations (Helena Van Swygenhoven) is looking for a PhD candiate perfoming atomistic simulations on dislocation/interface interaction. The group performs research in the structural and mechanical properties of metal, alloys and composites using in-situ testing facility and is exploiding synergies with computational material science.

PhD students and postdocs needed soon at the University of Oxford
Dear All,
I would like to bring to your attention seven new research opportunities at the University of Oxford and at the Fraunhofer Institute in Freiburg (DE).
These are for four Post-Doctoral Research Assistantships (one at Oxford, three at Freiburg) and three PhD
Studentships (all at Oxford).
The details can be found here: http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/NP/RESEARCH/VACANCIES/vacancies.html
Many thanks,

strain evaluation in relaxed nanowires
Due to the existence of surface stress, the interior of a free standing nanowire is in non-zero stress state especially near free surface (see attached). This stress state corresponds to strain field in nanowires. A reference configuration would then be necessary to define the strain. Any good suggestions on the selection of the reference configuration?

Hello everyone?
Mechanics Genealogy
Leonhard Euler has 5 students and 56,850 academic descendents. They are all listed by the Mathematics Genealogy Project. Euler himself was a student of Johann Bernoulli, and produced a student named Joseph Louis Lagrange, who in turn produced Fourier and Poisson. No wonder Euler has so many descendents by now.
Finite element modelling fracture mechanics of polymer/clay nanocomposites
I am Cecilia. In 2007 I graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy).
During the degree courses I took several classes on structural mechanics, including, Mechanics of Composite Materials,
Fracture Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (with Ansys and Abaqus).
Now I am a PHD student at the Univesity of Cagliari and this is the aim of my research:
Finite element modelling of polymer-clays nanocomposites with
poroelastic model
I am currently working on a poroelastic model for an oil basin-I have tried and read through Abaqus manual to find out how we can apply Biot's Coefficient in our model or how it takes care of it-Does anyone have any clue about this?
