The Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of North Texas (UNT) seeks highly qualified applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position in computational materials modeling. The successful candidate will work on multiscale modeling of defects and microstructures (e.g., dislocations, grain boundaries, etc), and damage and failure of materials to design and evaluate advanced superalloys for aerospace applications, as part of the federally-funded research program in the Institute for Science and Engineering Simulation (ISES).

ANSYS, Inc. has an immediate job opening
in Houston, TX for a Technical Services Engineer (Job ID # 2396).  This
is a full time position.

The job entails providing advanced technical
guidance on various aspects of computational
Structural Mechanics to clients in
industry and academia.

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.
