One post-doctoral fellowship is available in RealTcut, funded by the Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Study
http://www.usias.fr/fr/fellows-2013/
The goal of the post-doc is to extend the preliminary results which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/KqM7rh6sE8s and will appear shortly in the journal Medical Image Analysis
Dear colleagues,
I wanted to draw your attention to a paper published last year in PNAS
http://www.pnas.org/content/109/44/17874
where we analyze physical aspects of how euglenoids move

Hi there,
I came across the following question on another website, which I found intriguing:
Skin, the largest organ of the human body, acts as a
multi-functional biophysical interface to the external environment. The serial
interfacial phenomena along the skin/environment conjunction, particularly when
interacting with cosmetic and consumer goods (e.g. razor and shave preparation)
is determined by the interplay between the chemical structure and arrangement
of stratum corneum lipids,
environmental factors (e.g. hydration level) and also the physical
characteristics of skin surface relief. Therefore, the chemical and biophysical
properties of the stratum corneum
need to be considered jointly to approach the complexity of skin tribo-physics.
These technical challenges present outstanding opportunities for high quality
Mechanical losses account for 15% of total energy loss in an
IC engine where 45% of these losses result from friction of piston-ring
assembly. An increase in mechanical efficiency of 10% could lead to improved
fuel consumption of 1.5%. Taking into account the large number of vehicles on
road (30 million in the UK in 2010 according to the Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders) and fuel
consumption of 12.5 miles/litre, the potential fuel saving would accrue to
approximated £647 million/annum, which is substantial to the country's economy.
Hello ,
I am working on a project using abaqus to
simulate miling process. As the first stage, I have to be able to simulate cutting process in Abaqus. I have looked up Abacus 6.11 documentaion a lot but did not find too much of usefull information. Could any one kindly give some hints how to develop such model or introduce me some usefull complete resources?
Regards,
Reza
Hi everyone,
I have a problem about my VUEL.
In my input file I define user element as 2 dimentional plane stress element by
*user element, nodes=4, type=vu1, properties=8, coordinates=2
1, 2
However, I output the variable COORDS(NBLOCK, NNODE, MCRD)
here, MCRD, however, equals to 3 not 2, and COORDS:
-1,-1, 0
1,-1,NaN
1, 1,NaN
-1, 1,NaN
Where's wrong? Please help me.
There is an open position for a predoc-level part-time research and teaching assistant at the Institute of Lightweight Design and Strucutral Biomechanics, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria.
Dear colleague,
The second issue in 2013 (Volume 26, Issue 2) of Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica (AMSS) is now online.
Welcome to this SCI-indexed journal <http://ees.elsevier.com/camss/> for rapid publication of your exciting results.

Wrinkling vs. long-wavelength instability envelope for multi-layered soft composite: Predictive analytical and finite element models are presented to reveal the instability mechanics governing reversible wrinkling of interfacial layers. The biomimetic guidelines for the design of reversible, tunable, and multi-functional layered soft composites with transforming interfacial layers are developed and verified via 3D printed prototypes.
