Journal Club Theme of March 2014: 3D Experimental Measurements in Soft Materials

Submitted by franck@brown.edu on
3D Experimental Measurements in Soft Materials - from measuring cell displacement fields to complex hierarchical material deformations and beyond

The Why? - Why do we need 3D material deformation measurement?

Ph.D. positions at Oklahoma State University - Computational Solid Mechanics

Submitted by Hamed Hatami on

We are looking for outstanding candidates for doctoral positions in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University to work in the area of computational solid mechanics.

Candidates should have earned a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field from an accredited University.

Candidates with a strong background in numerical simulations, finite element analysis, and/or computational solid mechanics will be only considered.

Symposium on New Developments in Defect Mechanics - a unique intellectual event

Submitted by Cai Shengqiang on

Faculty from Caltech, UC Berkeley , University of Michigan, Georgia Tech, Brown University, University of Calgary, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College, London, and UCSD and researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories congregated to UCSD  on January 18-19, 2014 to attend the third in a series of symposia on Multiscale Dislocation Dynamics and to honor Professor Michael Ortiz  on his 60th birthday. Faculty also brought their graduate students and postdocs to engage in such a powerful intellectual activity.

Publication citation metrics and h-index for Australian Universities

Submitted by Gareth Forbes on

For similar reasons outlined by Zhigang’s post node/2345 I
have found it necessary to find comparisons in publication citation
metrics/indices whilst in Academic employment. Much has been discussed about
the appropriate use of these metrics and the arguments on the benefits and
drawbacks are both compelling. Whatever your opinion, it seems that for the
foreseeable future these publication citation metrics are here to stay.

Postdoc position — Modeling fragmentation in brittle materials

Submitted by ndaphalapurkar on
Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI; hemi.jhu.edu) of The Johns Hopkins University is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on modeling fragmentation in brittle materials under extreme loading conditions. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D., with some background in fracture mechanics and experience working with the finite element or some other numerical method.
