Nano structural elements

Extremely small size of nano-structures such as beams, sheets and
plates, which are commonly used as components in Nanoelectromechanical Systems
(NEMS), presents a significant challenge to the researchers of nano-mechanics.
Several studies have been developed on the mechanical behavior of nano-sized
bars, tubes, sheets and plates. The results of these studies show that the
elastic modulii of such nano-structural elements depend on their size.
Unfortunately, classical elasticity lacks an intrinsic length scale and thus

PhD Student; Computational materials science

There is a PhD (RA) position available starting in the spring 2013 in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T- formerly known as University of Missouri-Rolla). MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the Us (http://mse.mst.edu).

The Ph.D. research project is about developing a multi-phase-field model for multi-component alloy solidification.

Post-doc Position at Dept of MEA at University of Miami

We have a likely opening for a postdoctoral theorist to work with Dr. Qingda Yang (University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida) and Drs. Dave Marshall and Brian Cox (Teledyne Scientific Co LLC, Thousand Oaks, California).  The project involves development of advanced computational methods for simulating discrete damage evolution in composite materials and the application of simulations to the interpretation and analysis of experiments, including new high temperature mCT and image correlation experiments being conducted at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara, respectively.

Safety Engineering and Risk Management Debate 2012

Throughout History Man has experienced alot of severe and fatal incidences that could have been averted or most assuredly minimized if certain actions were taken or decision making processes where in place.
