Post-doc Newton Fellowship

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 15:58

Dear all,

Below is an opportunity to apply for post-doctoral positions in the UK for two years if you are not currently working in the UK. I am currently looking for candidates with expertise in computational mechanics to complement the work being performed by 4 to 5 Ph.D. students in areas related to: (1) fracture mechanics (2) surgical simulation (3) multiphysics and multiscale modelling of fracture in materials with complex architectures. Please contact me if you are interested stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com

Numerical integration of non-polynomial functions

Hello colleagues,

Would anybody know good references on numerical integration of non-polynomial functions? It would be enough for me to obtain one-dimensional rules. Of course, it could have impact for XFEM applications, but for another, improved XFEM method that we are developing.

Note that I am not talking about integrating singularities, but non-polynomial functions. Examples:

sqrt(x)

cos(x)

sin(x)

product of these.

Thanks for any help,

Stephane

Dear fellows,

A short note to let you know that I have now three Ph.D. positions available to fill between now and March 2008 (sonner=better) (Students from the EU only -- fully funded).
