The Polymers and Composites Technology & Mechanical Engineering
Department of the Ecole des Mines de Douai (France) and Essilor International Company
are currently offering a postdoctoral fellow position aiming at studying the
behavior of lens during cutting.
A limited number of travel fellowships to Beijing for ICTAM2012 will be available through the U. S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. See the attached for details.
The research group in Advanced Structural Materials and Nanomaterials (Department of Materials Science, Polytechnic Unviersity of Madrid) is looking for a graduate student to carry out his/her PhD within the framework of a collaborative research project among Michigan State University, IMDEA Materials Institute and the Polytechnic University of Madrid entitled "Understanding the Microstructural Evolution and Deformation Behavior of Mg-Mn-RE Alloys". The project is funded by the NSF of US and Spain within the Materials World Network program.
Polar dielectric based cooling devices are
modeled as a system with two degrees of freedom and represented by either an
entropy-temperature or electric displacement-electric field plane. A typical
thermodynamic energy cyclic path is proposed for polar dielectric as cooling
devices to experience. With the influence of temperature taken into
consideration, the free energy of a thermal electrical coupling system of polar
dielectrics is formulated, and the variation of temperature and entropy, the
absorption of heat, and the work under different electric fields are calculated
for BaTiO3, Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3, P(VDF-TrFE), and water. And the simulation results
obtained agree well with the recently published experimental data [B. Neese, et
The Department of Structural Engineering at the University Cagliari, ITALY, is
looking for a PhD-student who is interested in pursuing her/his PhD in
Continuum and Structural Mechanics.
The PhD is about innovative materials, in
the context of the theoretical, analytical, numerical and/or experimental modeling
of elastodynamics of micro-structured materials.
Qualification
Applicants should have a M.Sc. and B.E. in Mechanical or Civil
Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Mechanics.

Dear All! If it will be interesting
for you please look at my FEM-pack FASTRAN. This software was developed for
dynamic analysis of the thin-walled shell-type structures and includes:
preprocessor (only for view early-developed FEM-models), processor (fast sparse
solver) and postprocessor (for view calculation results). Your opinion will be
very interesting for me.
