The laboratory for fluid structure interaction (LIFE) at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona, Spain is looking for a PhD cadidate. The student will work in a project involving fluid-structure interaction in offshore engineering with applications to wind energy and the dynamics of offshore structures.

The application of mechanics to biology
– biomechanics – bears great challenges due to the intricacy of living things.
Their dynamism, along with the complexity of their mechanical response (which
in itself involves complex chemical, electrical, and thermal phenomena) makes
it very difficult to correlate empirical data with theoretical models. This
difficulty elevates the importance of useful biomechanical theories compared to
other fields of engineering. Despite inherent imperfections of all theories, a
The 2013 Residual Stress Summit will take place October 8 - 10,
2013 at the Hilton Garden Inn Idaho Falls, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA. You can get more information at http://www.rssummit.org
