Jung W. Hong's blog

There is an opening for a research professor position in Advanced Engineering Mechanics Lab at KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea. Research topics include multiscale and multiphysics simulations and DIC experiments at high speeds. Applicants need to send a copy of Curriculum Vitae and a reference list to Prof. J.W. Hong (j.hong@kaist.ac.kr).

Dear all,

It is my great pleasure to announce that the Third K.J. Bathe Award, made every two years, will be awarded in 2012. This award is named to recognize the outstanding contributions made by Professor K.J. Bathe over many years to the field of computational engineering.  

Dear Colleague,

I wish you a Happy New Year!

As announced in the last year, the Sixth M.I.T. Conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics will be held in June 2011 at M.I.T. The theme of the Conference is "Solids & Structures", and the topic is interpreted in a very broad way.

We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of computational mechanics. Specific problems of interest include the nonlocal plasticity, molecular dynamics and meshless methods for continuum damage mechanics. Rich experience of C++, X-windows image processing, and Fortran programming (especially parallel processing) is required. Contact: Professor Jung W. Hong at Michigan State University.  Email: jwh@egr dot msu dot edu.

I thought the mechanics community would be interested in the course notes of
Prof. K. J. Bathe on "Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Fluids". This
course was taught at MIT and now is available freely through MIT Open

Enjoy!

There are two positions available for doctoral studies in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Michigan State University.  Two-year fundings are secured for those positions.  Research area is computational mechanics especially for meshless methods, wave propagation excited by piezo-material, interconnect reliability analysis under shock loading, and  structural response under extreme loadings.  Strong mathematical background with programming knowledge and experience with commercial FEA packages such as ADINA, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, etc. will be considered.
