Discontinuous Galerkin FEM
Can some of you recommend a source to learn about Discontinuous Galerkin FEM?? I am specifically interested in its application in geomechanics but I need to learn the basics first!
Mechanics for soft machines
I gave a seminar at Xian Jiaotong University on 27 October 2009. I recently found the video of the seminar online. The seminar was in Chinese, but the slides were in English.
If the subject interests you, the following papers will lead you to the literature.
implicit and explicit for dynamic analysis
Can anyone please explain the difference between implicit and explicit method with regard to dynamic analysis?
I mean the procedurres to determine the response where in the equations of mottion are uncoupled or non linear dyn amic analysis is to be carried out?
Central difference is an explicit and neumann methos is an implicit method.
It was beautifully explained by Prof.Louis for sttaic non linear analysis in an earlier post and touched by Peymann too for dynamic analysis.A detailed explanation will eb very useful.
Please help
PhD and Post-doctoral Associate Positions Available at Rice University
Ph.D and postdoctoral associate positions are available at Rice University in the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multiscale modeling of cement-based materials. The projects include carrying out bottom-up atomistic and microtexture predictive simulations. Computational techniques will be integrated to approaches from statistical mechanics and physical chemistry to provide quantitative predictions of properties of cementitious materials across different time- and length-scales. The research will be carried out at Rice University’s Laboratory for Multiscale
Materials Modeling.

PhD STUDENTSHIPS FLUID STRUCTURE INTERACTION
The Fluid-Structure Interactions Lab (LIFE) (http://www.etseq.urv.es/life/) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for an enthusiastic research student with a strong interest in fluid dynamics to apply for one of the FI 2012 grants given by the Catalan Government. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction problems.
Post-Doc in Grenoble, France: Atomic-scale twinning in HCP metals
A postdoctoral position is available in the material science laboratory (SIMAP) of INP Grenoble, France, in David Rodney’s group in collaboration with Laurent Capolungo from Georgia Tech Lorraine, with primary focus on the atomic-scale study of twinning in HCP metals. We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to apply saddle-point search methods, including the Nudged Elastic Band method and the Activation Relaxation Technique, to study the nucleation and propagation of primary and secondary twins during the plastic deformation of HCP metals.
