Postdoc positions in Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics (CNMM) at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
There are TEN openings for postdoctoral positions in the Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics (CNMM) at Tsinghua University. The Center is an interdisciplinary innovation center supported by Tsinghua University, with specially focused interests in nanomaterials, nanodevices, nano-enabled energy and environmental applications. More details about the faculties and research area can be found at http://cnmm.tsinghua.edu.cn.
Post-Doctoral Positions at the Tsinghua Center for Combustion Energy
A Center for Combustion Energy has been established at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
The need for such a center is motivated by the central role that combustion plays in energy sustainability and climate change,
by the emergence of China as a major industrialized nation and her commitment to seek solutions to these global problems,
and by the potential that combustion can contribute to the advance of diverse disciplines of frontier science that involve reacting flows.
Joint Postdoc position at Northeastern and Qatar University - Structural Mechanics and Materials
Joint postdoctoral fellow position at Northeastern University and Qatar University is available immediately, focused on development and analysis of novel materials and structures for protection of critical structures and components under extreme loading.
Contact mechanics course January 30-February 1st, 2012
Dear all,
On Monday January 30th to Wednesday February 1st, 2012, we will organise a
course on using the CONTACT software at Delft University of Technology
in the Netherlands.
The aims of the course are:
Dugdale -Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone
Dear sir
I am Ravi dalmeya doing Phd from Indian Institute of Technology,Kanpur (India). I am doing work on adhesive elastic wavy thin film. I have completed 2-D Hertzian contact between cylinder and elastic half space using Abaqus. Now i want to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone and i do not know how to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone.Can you give me some suggestion?
Thanking you
Ravi dalmeya
