The research group of Computational Alloy Design at IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid, Spain) seeks a RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (Postdoctoral Researcher) (PhD Degree in materials/mechanical engineering or physics) to work in the area of mesoscale modeling for steels and smart materials. The selected candidate is expected to develop and validate a mesoscale computational tool using Landau/Phase Field model for modeling the microstructure development and solute redistribution in advanced steels and shape memory alloys under the supervision of a project leader.

The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) has awarded Kerry Rowe the Sir John Kennedy Medal, “EIC’s highest award, in recognition of outstanding merit in the engineering profession, or of noteworthy contributions to the science of engineering, or to the benefit of the Institute”.  Kerry is Editor of Geotextiles and Geomembranes, and a member of the editorial board of Computers and Geotechnics.

Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to May 2, 2012 for the 49th SES Meeting.  Dan Gianola and I are hosting a symposium on the Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures, and would like to solicit abstracts for oral presentations. 

If you are interested in presenting your work, please go to the conference website to submit an abstract:

Sincerely,

Novacam Profilometer system, for metrology and surface roughness inspection

Novacam's 3D Non-Contact Coordinate Measuring Machines are designed with versatility and superior performance in mind:

-Precision (better than 1um)
-Speed (1-30 thousand measurements per second)

We have several postdoctoral positions opening now and in the coming months. We are especially interested in candidates with backgrounds in theoretical biomechanics who are interested in conducting bench experiments. These positions will focus on our efforts to recapitulate organ-level function on microchips for drug discovery and physiological studies.

We recently developed a numerical frame work, attached, to model 3D crack growths under mixed mode loadings. The result is validated by FULL Eshelby's solution we formulated with Matlab http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0098300411002378.

We want to validate the model experimentally, e.g. fracturing test using transparent materials. If you find it interesting, please comment.

Although the theory of electrodynamics has been around for a long time, its fundamental geometrical character has not been understood.  My knowledge in continuum mechanics, especially vortex theory in fluid mechanics and rigid body dynamics, has enabled me to complete the theory of relativity and reveal the hidden geometric character of electrodynamics.  Amazingly, everything in electrodynamics is about rotation, vorticity and mean curvature.  

I am seeking a postdoctoral position in the areas of acoustics and ultrasonics. My name is
Abdelhak El Mouhtadi and I completed my Ph.D. in Acoustics and
Ultrasonic NDE at le Havre University (France) in December 2011.

You can find my research statement and curriculum vitae in the attachments.

Kind Regards
