Two year postdoctoral position on computational electromagnetics
A two year postdoctoral research officer position on the development and implementation of computational techniques (hp-finite elements) for Maxwell's equations and their associated inverse problem is available at Swansea University. To apply for the position see
PhD opportunity at Queen Mary, University on London, on numerical simulation of particle-laden interfaces

Why not Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman void growth model for plate impact simulations?
Can someone answer me if Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman void growth model is not suitable for flyer-plate impact simulations? I have come across some papers who have derived void growth equations to simulate fracture in ductile mateials like OFHC copper etc., subject to plate impact (uniaxial strain high strian rate loading). I have attached 3 of them. But none of them have used Gurson's yield function. I did not find any explanation if GTN model has any drawbacks in simulating spallation phenomena found in plate impact simulations.

Biographical Memoir of Zay Jeffries by W.D. Nix
I have written a National Academy of Sciences biographical memoir of Zay Jeffries, one of the great American metallurgists of the 20th century. I am posting the link to the NAS website here with the thought that some readers of iMechanica might be interested in the piece. Some will be interested to learn that Jeffries came very close to discovering dislocations some 18 years before the great papers of Taylor, Orowan and Polyanyi in 1934.
Python
Having learned Python for a while now, I believe it is of benefit to students who want to learn statistical analysis and such models and be able to compute these. Python is an easy to learn language. Oh and did I mention George his is for you ;)
