Happy New Year 2012 from Cardiff/ECCM 2012/XFEM 2013 ECCOMAS Thematic Conference
Dear imechanicians,
I would like to wish
you a Happy New Year 2012 (Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 2012), and hope
that it will bring you what you seek in life.
The best wishes from our
institute (iMAM) in Cardiff are attached.
In the attachment, you will
find information about the next ECCOMAS Conference on the
extended finite element method (XFEM 2013) and details on the
activities of our institute in 2011.
Finally, I would like to let
you know that our institute is co-organising the following
Short Review of Approaches in Multiphase Flow, Advantages & Disadvantages
Hi,
I need some information about available approaches in multiphase flow analysis. What is need is a SHORT, QUICK review, paper, ... listing the giving information about different approaches and pros and cons of each approach and their application limitations.
There are many online resiurces available, but they are usually in form of thesis, too lengthy and detailed for my purpose at the moment.
Any suggestion is appreciated...
Thanks,
Hossein

University Lectureship in Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering, University of Oxford
The Department of Engineering and Balliol College at Oxford University have a University Lectureship available in the area of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering. We would be particularly interested in receiving applications in the general area of composite and lightweight materials, including, polymer, metal, ceramic, biological and multifunctional composites, foams and lattice materials. The closing date for applications is 16th January 2012. Further information can be found in the attached files.
We look forward to receiving your application.
Riemann-Cartan Geometry of Nonlinear Dislocation Mechanics
We present a geometric theory of nonlinear solids with distributed dislocations. In this theory the material manifold - where the body is stress free - is a Weitzenbock manifold, i.e. a manifold with a flat affine connection with torsion but vanishing non-metricity. Torsion of the material manifold is identified with the dislocation density tensor of nonlinear dislocation mechanics. Using Cartan's moving frames we construct the material manifold for several examples of bodies with distributed dislocations. We also present non-trivial examples of zero-stress dislocation distributions.
Postdoctoral postion in Computational Crystal Plasticity at RPI
There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Lab at RPI, Troy NY to work on Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Methods. Currently we are working on interesting advances in the areas of radiation damage and high strain rate loading conditions. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated individuals with a sound baclkground in computational mechanics, CPFEM and materials science. RPI is home to the CCNI, one of the most powerful university-based supercomputational research facilities in the world.
