Seeking Postdoctoral candidates for Science Foundation Ireland and EU Marie Curie funding schemes in Composites Modelling
I am seeking candidates in the field of Composites Modelling, interested in applying for any of the following schemes, which have closing dates in August 2011:
Short Course: Engineering of Durable Elastomeric Structures, 26-27 July 2011, Ann Arbor, Michigan
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.
Some Analytical Formulas for the Equilibrium States of a Swollen Hydrogel Shell
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.
Contact radius of sphere

Looking through books and papers I see an often quoted equation to show that the contact radius (a) of spherical indenter of radius (R) is related to the indentation depth (h):
a= √(R.h)
However, using simple trigonometry of a spherical cap it can be shown that:
a=√(2Rh-h2)
Contact area is very important for use in nanoindentation - however, if it is based on the wrong contact area calculation, then more errors become apparent.
Marie Curie IEF & IIF
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):
