The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity.  When I update the notes, I will post a link on my twitter account:  https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo.

I am seeking Ph.D. students to work on developing and using multiscale methods for modeling nanocomposites and nanomaterials. Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering, material science, civil engineering or other related areas. Candidates with computational solid mechanics experience at the continuum or molecular level are highly preferred.

You are welcome to submit abstracts to the MS 301 "Multiscale Computational homogenization for bridging scales in the mechanics and physics of complex materials", organized by P. Wriggers, K. Terada, M. Geers, M. Cho and myself at the 13th US National Congress on Computation Mechanics (USNCCM), July 26-30, 2015, in San Diego CA, USA.

The  deadline for abstract submission is February 15, 2015.

The topics of the MS can be found here:

PhD Studentship in Multiscale Modelling of Nanocomposites Manufacturing is available at the International
Institute for Nanocomposites Manufacturing, WMG, University of Warwick, UK.

Due to funding restrictions, funding is only available for well-qualified UK or EU students. Other motivated students are encouraged to apply but will need to secure their own funding. Candidates should hold a 1st or 2.1 degree in any science or engineering discipline which had a significant materials/engineering simulation content.

Please see the attached PDF for more details.

A PhD in applied mechanics or a related discipline is highly desirable for this position. Applicant must have excellent knowledge of finite element methods and good programming skills (Fortran or C/C++).

ADINA R & D develops and distributes engineering analysis software worldwide, and believes strongly in maintaining an excellent work environment with a friendly atmosphere for the staff. ADINA R & D offers excellent salary and benefits.

ADINA R & D is seeking an Application Engineer with a strong background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis to help develop the ADINA market and support customers.

Dear colleagues, 

We would like to draw your attention to the minisymposium "Multiscale Digital Rock and Granular Physics" which we are organizing as part of the Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference to be held at Stanford June 16-19, 2015.

Detailed information on the congress is available at: http://www.emi2015.info

Attached is an ad for a faculty search at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT.  We have multiple openings this year and are looking for exceptional candidates, in particular in mechanics, materials, and related areas.
