Postdoctoral Research Position at IDMEC-FEUP, Portugal
The Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal, intents to contract 2 researchers (postdoctoral) to work in the group of Structural Integrity. The main topics of this group are:
- Development of advanced composites
- Product development
- Fracture and fatigue behaviour of components
- Development of structural wood components
- New numerical techniques to analyze solids and structures
- Biomechanical behaviour of soft tissues

Dear All
I'm working on studing the use of metal foam in sandwich structre containing Al or steel plate to overcome an impact shells or plates at differnet impact velocity but the prblem that I face how to define the failure critrion of Meat foam except difine the crushable foam properties, and I've read a paper on using cohesive element but i don'nt know how to use it.
Hopefully some one can help me solving this prblem, by the way I'm using ABAQUS v6.6

Launched on 9 September 2006, iMechanica is the web of mechanics and mechanicians. The mission of iMechanica is twofold:
Geometric Design, Computer Graphics, and FEM
I recently participated in a minisymposium (SIAM Conference ), where geometric modeling, graphics, and finite elements were the focus. Over the past 4 to 5 years, there has been a lot of interest in the construction of barycentric coordinates on polygons/polyhedra, and the minisymposium brought together many of us with common interests.
Two faculty positions in computational and experimental mechanics at Columbia University
Columbia University
Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics invites applications for TWO tenure-track faculty positions to support a Department initiative in Sustainable Engineering. Qualified individuals are sought with expertise in either:
(1) Computational mechanics - with an emphasis on large-scale computing applied to multi-scale, multi-phase modeling of materials (from nano- to macro-scale), and/or mechanics and materials challenges in energy and/or the environment.
