Open PhD position in computational methods and inverse
problems in cardiovascular biomechanics
A highly motivated PhD student is sought for research in
computational methods and inverse problems at the University of Pittsburgh
(Pitt) Department of Bioengineering (BioE).
The computational nanomechanics laboratory (http://people.bu.edu/parkhs/), which is based at Boston University under the direction of Prof. Harold Park, is looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational methodologies, various scientific issues surrounding the mechanics of crystalline nanostructures. The position is available for a 1-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of funding.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a full-time lecturer position. The individual selected for this position will be expected to contribute to the department’s educational mission through teaching, course development, and advising and mentoring students. They might also engage in mechanical engineering scholarship. Johns Hopkins is a private university well known for its commitment to academic excellence and research.
Abstracts for the 2011 APS Topical Conference on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter are now being accepted. This biennial meeting is the premier conference for shock compression, behavior of materials at high pressures and high strain rates, and related areas. We hope you will be able to join us for an outstanding Conference in Chicago, Illinois, June 26 - July 1, 2011.
A Ph.D. candidate position is available in Computational Solid Mechanics and Materials at Florida Institute of Technology. Ideally the applicant holds a M.S. degree. Those outstanding graduates with B.S. degree would also be considered. It is expected that the candidate has a background in computational stress and fracture mechanics analyses and/or computational materials science. The project will be on Materials and Mechanics Issues in Energy Storage, specifically, in lithium ion batteries and solid state hydrogen storage. The position starts in Spring, 2011.
I am going to simulate the well-known welding process i.e.
ultrasonic welding process for thermoplastics using ANSYS. I am using ABS first
of all. My sample dimensions are 30*40*1 and one of these two parts will be
having an energy director of triangular shape at its centre with an overall
thickness of 1.5 being equally distributed from the centre.
The parts to be welded are placed on the anvil and after
proper fixturing, ultrasonic vibrations are applied at the upper part under a
pressure of 2.0775E6.
My last two posts on this series
Part- 1 (node/9016) and
Part- 2 (node/9073)
were mainly focussed on the tension–torsion (σ11–√3σ12) stress space. This paper will be the final post on this series and will focus mainly on the behavior of both of these alloys under tension–tension (σ11–σ22)space and conclude this ongoing research.
Abstract.
At the Laboratory for Computational Mechanics and Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D candidate positions in the general area of computational mechanics and materials physics.
The material systems that we are interested in—for example, graphene, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots—are relevant for nanotechnology and energy applications. The current research topics are multidisciplinary in nature, and offer an excellent opportunity for close interactions with experimentalists and with international collaborators.
