Dear Colleagues:

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the 2011 ASME

IMECE in Denver, to be held November 11-17, 2011.  Our minisymposium

is on "Multiphysics Simulations for Solids", and is the

continuation of a very successful minisymposium held for the past 4 years

that have resulted in more than 50 presentations at the 2009 and 2010 IMECE conferences.  This year's focus areas

are:

1.Multiphysics modeling, simulation and experiments of electromechanical materials and systems

Dear Colleagues:

Here is an idea I submit for consideration by all iMechanicians, but esp. so by the admins and moderators. Discussion is welcome.

Idea: Why not have a Mechanics Gallery section here?

Origin: Recently, I was browsing for some OpenGL-encapsulating C++ class libraries, e.g. OpenSceneGraph, VTK, the game development libraries, etc. The Web sites of all such libraries always carry a "Gallery" page which is designed to attract the potential users. The Gallery page shows the capabilities and advantages of that library/framework.

hi,

 There is a half ph.d position (about 1000 euro per month after tax and all kinds of insurances) immediately avaialbe at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. The work is on MD simulation of fluid-surface interaction.  Experience on finite element, molecular dynamics and computational fluid dynamics is highly desired. For those interested, please send your application to: shan [at] ibnm.uni-hannover.de.

An enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher is sought to work in the area of computational biomechanics by Dr. Kun Zhou’s group in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The objective of the research is to study the tribological behaviors and damage mechanisms of joints and implants.  The candidates should have relevant research expertise, experience in numerical modeling, and excellent writing skills. The contract will be one year and renewable subject to performance. 

Multiscale computation and modelling of granular materials

 

The energy/bio/nanomechanics group under the direction of Prof. Xi Chen at Columbia University is looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, based on computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling, the mechanisms of energy absorption, conversion, harvesting, and storage using nanomaterials. The initial appointment is one year and the position can be renewed based on performance.

 

I would like to bring your attention to the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Adhesion Science, which will be held from July 24 – 29, 2011, at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, U.S.A.  This conference is chaired by Chung-Yuen Hui at Cornell University and Kenneth Shull at Northwestern University.
