Applied Mechanics Division of ASME - 2013 Student Paper Competition
The Applied Mechanics Division of ASME encourages the involvement of graduate students in the activities of the AMD Division. One of the ways is the sponsorship of the annual Student Paper Cmpetition. The recipient of this prize was chosen from the Haythornthwaite Student Travel contest award pool sponsored by the Haythornthwaite Foundation. This year the winner was:
Haythornthwaite Foundation and the Applied Mechanics Division - 2013 Research Initiation Grant Awards
Two PhD positions in my research group are immediately available. Both positions involve the design, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for computer aided design, analysis, and optimization with particular emphasis on complex multiphysics systems.

A new paper on the OEC fatigue problem: “Determination of Early Failure Sources and Mechanisms for Al 99.7% and Al-Mg-Si Alloy Bare Conductors Used in Aerial Transmission Lines”, by S. Karabay and E. Feyzullahoglu. Paper has been accepted for publication in March 2014 in the “Engineering Failure Analysis” journal. Abstract can be found on-line: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2013.12.002
Applications are invited for a PhD position (four years) and a post-doctoral position (three years) in the area of computational modelling in the Computational Mechanics of Materials group of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
The successful applicants will work with Dr. Angelo Simone on a project funded by the European Research Council through the ERC Consolidator grant StruBa (Computational Modelling of Structural Batteries). The positions are to commence in June 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Since James Watt, a Scottish inventor, improve the efficiency of steam engine, human civilization relies more and more on a steady supply of energy. The re-rise as an international superpower and the global energy crisis are challenging China and the world. We are at a transitional age. On the one hand, we see the technology advances in exploration and development of oil and gas, a depleting resource; and the growth in handling ageing and decommissioning. On the other hand, we see ideas and plans for new energy structure in the future.
The class started today. I'll be teaching fracture mechanics this semester. I'll be mostly using the class notes I wrote in 2010, but will post updated ones.
In today's class I covered "Trouble with linear elastic theory of strength." I have just posted updated notes of the lecture. The new notes begin with the follwoing paragraphs.
