2 PhD OPENINGS IN COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS IN BARCELONA
Two four-year doctoral fellowships at the LaCàN Research group (http://www-lacan.upc.es/), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona, Spain).
These two fellowships, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education ("beca FPI"), coverfull tuition, a monthly stipend and provide funds for short international research stays. The starting date is expected in the Summer-Fall 2008.
Rippling and a phase-transforming mesoscopic model for multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Dear iMechanica colleagues,
I would like to announce that Matlab routines implementing the maximum-entropy approximation schemes presented in
