EST method with GNU Octave

Submitted by Andres Lahe on

The EST method -- http://www.e-uni.ee/e-kursused/estmethod/ -- http://digi.lib.ttu.ee/estmethod/ESTmethod.pdf -- is a general computational method, for solving boundary value problems for the structural analysis of frames, beams, and trusses. Differential equations are considered here together with a set of boundary conditions.  Compatibility equations for joint displacements and equilibrium equations for member end forces at joints serve as boundary conditions.

PhD positions in solid mechanics/biomechanics at Dartmouth College in 2015

Submitted by zichen on

I'm looking for prospective PhD students to study solid mechanics/biomechanics in 2015 at Dartmouth College (Thayer School of Engineering). Visiting or postdoctoral positions are also available for highly qualified candidates from fall 2015. The subjects of research include, but are not limited to, mechanics of morphogenesis in plants/embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g., DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinspired structures.
