The UCLA Fusion Science & Technology Center is seeking to fill several research staff positions to perform research in areas that include CFD, heat and mass transport, chemical processes, and/or structural mechanics. Research positions are available for beginning and mid-career levels.



Candidates should have a PhD degree in mechanical, nuclear, or chemical engineering with strong background in analysis, modeling, numerical computation, and/or experimental techniques. The research applications are in the area of fusion nuclear science and technology.

Vladimir Arnold died on 3rd of June 2010 in Paris, just 9 days before his 73rd birthday.

I am sure many mechanicians know him by his books, such as

As a consultant in computational mechanics, I currently help write some FEM-related code, and while doing this job, an episode from a recent past came to my mind. Let me go right on to the technical issue, keeping aside the (not so good) particulars of that episode. (In case you are curious: it happened outside of my current job, during a job interview.)



If you are a design engineer, FE analyst, researcher, or any professional dealing with stress analysis in your work, I seek answers to a couple of questions from you:





Question 1:

The Graduate School MUSIC (Multiscale Methods for Interface Coupling) invites to its first Summer School on Multiscale and Multiphysics Modelling of Interfaces at Leibniz Universitaet Hannover, Germany, from 15 to 17 September 2010.

Please suggest me any good reference on curvilinear convected coordinates. I am finding it difficult to physically interpret and visualize the concept. I would be very thankful.
