Teaching FEM to Biologists/Medics

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

All,



Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.



Best regards



Lee

Converted into post-doctoral position (and filled) : Open PhD position: Optimization of Addendum Surfaces In Stamping at UTC

Submitted by breit on

We are currently seeking a PhD student to pursue research project within the Roberval Laboratory at Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France. The position is available in the scope of the OASIS project "Optimization of Addendum Surfaces In Stamping" involving several French academia and industrial partners.

The overall goal of the project is to propose methodologies to optimize the process parameters for service properties of high elastic steel parts, while taking into account the residual stresses due to the stamping process.
