Two PhD scholarships are available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts. One has focus on computational stress and damage modeling, while the other has focus on elastohydrodynamic lubricant film modelling and experimental verification.
There is an opening for students who want to join a PhDcourse or combined master + PhD course (Going to directly Ph.D. course without master thesis afterB.S.) in Department of Aerospace Engineering, GyeongsangNational University, South Korea.
The successful candidate will do research under the adviseof Prof. Jin-Hwe Kweon in Structure and Composite Lab. Prof. Kweon researchareas include testing and finite element analysis of:
1. Composite Cylinder under hydrostatic pressure,
2. Mechanical and bonding joints between composite materials,with or without z-pinning
Title: Structural FEA Intern
Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Location: Sugar Land, TX, USA
Starting Date: Available immediately

2 Year PDRA Opportunity in:
I want to do modal analysis of a simple structure under the effect of residual stress. How can I do it in Abaqus ?? I need the precise steps to do with the GUI.
I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).
Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)
Can you define FEM in one line?
If yes, what would it be? And, in that case, permit me a second question: How?
...Really interested in knowing what the members of this community think (of this matter), if they do...
