Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation.

MODELIZACIÓN AVANZADA DE PROCESOS DE FORJA DE SUPERALEACIONES BASE NIQUEL

La simulación numérica es una herramienta clave para la optimización de los procesos de forja y la correcta predicción de las propiedades finales de los componentes forjados. Tanto en el sector Aeronáutico como en el de la energía, entre otros, las aleaciones de base Niquel se utilizan en componentes críticos de alto valor añadido. Las altas prestaciones de estos componentes junto con el elevado coste de la materia prima conllevan a la necesidad de una correcta optimización de los procesos de conformado.

REMINDER: The deadline for nominations for the AMD/ASME awards is September 15th, 2017.

Information and details on each of the awards are provided below.

---------

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2017, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time the award is made.

Dear colleagues,

We inform you that the next indentation conference from the Groupe Indentation Multi-Echelle (GIME) will be held in Liège (Belgium) on 11-14 September 2018.  The conference gathers every two years, scientists and industrials concerned by the problems of mechanical characterization of surfaces. In 2018, this conference is organized by Belgian scientists: ULg, CRM Group, UCL et UMons. In line with the 2016 edition, we organize two half-days of training on indentation, preceding the 2-day symposium.

Baker Hughes has an opening for a senior computational mechanics research engineer in The Woodlands, Texas (USA) office as described below. Interested candidates are encouraged to review the posting and apply online on the Baker Hughes careers web site http://www.bakerhughes.com/careers.

For those interested in this topic, we are organizing a minisymposium at the European Solid Mechanics Conference (sponsored by EUROMECH) in Bologna, in 2018, see session 9.2:
