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.

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.

Call for Abstracts:

Symposium on the

Multiscale Analysis of Nano- and Bio-Structures: From Theory to Numerical Implementation

at the

51st Anual SES Conference at Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana, October 1-3, 2014)

The positions below are still available. Eligible candidates are welocme to apply. Those who have already applied do not need to resubmit your application. 

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.

New test data in a 2013 conference paper. Details in the attached file.

I am interested in developing a global-local finite element model (micro/macro) to simulate flexural testing of a composite material. Flexural loading will be applied on global model (macro) and crack propagation will be simulated in the local model (micro). I want to compare stress intensity factor or any other fracture property obtained from local model (micro) with that of experimental results.

I would appreciate if anyone could suggest some references/literature in this area. Any kind of suggestions would be great!
