Elastomers are outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is a critical consideration. Because the macromolecular structure of elastomers gives rise to a number of unique behaviors, appropriately specialized methods are needed to characterize, analyze, and design for durability. This 2-day course provides the know-how for engineering durable elastomeric components and systems. The course is taught at Axel Products, and includes live demos of typical behavior.

Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to you my recent work with my supervisor Hui-Hui Dai on "Some  Analytical Formulas for the Equilibrium States of a Swollen Hydrogel Shell". Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.

I am interested in applying for Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) and Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF). These are highly prestigious two-year fellowships (with average salary ~£50k/year):

The deadline is 11 August 2011.IEF is for researchers outside the European Union and IIF is for researchers within the European Union. My areas of interest include:

Three post-doctoral fellow positions
available over 5 years at Cardiff University in the framework of an ERC Starting
Independent Research Grant with Prof. Stéphane P.A. Bordas and Dr.
Pierre Kerfriden in collaboration with Prof. Karol Miller (University
of Western Australia).

(Synopsis at bottom of post)

We are looking for candidates with
experience in either of the following topics:

• model order reduction (e.g. proper orthogonal decomposition - POD)

Hi All,

I'm involved in development of AxSTREAM Turbomachinery Coceptual Design Suite.

We belives that AxSTREAM has a great potentia not onlly in industry but in education too. We have good cooperation with PSU and a number of other univercities around globe.

Some time ago we started a new series of animated demo with narration, related to latest version AxSTREAM-III.

Now I'd like   to share first ones.

We have another new position available in computational mechanics at Durham. Please contact me if you want further information on the group, School or University.
