Chair in Cell Mechanics

Submitted by Chris W Smith on

Chair in Cell Mechanics, University of Exeter

The University of Exeter
is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.

The university seeks to employ two new chairs in i) cell mechanics and ii) physical cell biology. Research areas of interest for the chair in cell mechanics might include computational fluid or solid mechanics.

Analysis of the Rate-Dependent Coupled Thermo-Mechanical Response of Shape Memory Alloy Bars and Wires in Tension

Submitted by arash_yavari on

In this paper, the coupled thermo-mechanical response of shape memory alloy (SMA) bars and wires in tension is studied.It is shown that the accuracy of assuming adiabatic or isothermal conditions in the tensile response of SMA bars strongly depends on the size and the ambient condition in addition to the rate-dependency that has been known in the literature.

ICoBT 2011 - Dr Pat Campbell announced as speaker and deadline extended until 29 April

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Dr Pat Campbell, Director of the Implant Retrieval Laboratory Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital, will be giving a Keynote Lecture at the ICoBT Imperial College London 18-21 September.  

The topic of her keynote will be implant retrieval analysis as a tool to investigate and solve clinical problems.  Metal-on-metal hip premature failure and revision is the focus of intense interest and controversy at present. 

quasi-static analysis

Submitted by amma on

Dear,

I would like to known if it is possible to do a quasi-static analysis (withoutinertial and dissipating effects) of the problem: elastic linear body subjectedto a moving load with variable amplitude. If yes, which time integrationmethods are currently used in these cases?

Thank you!

Best Regards
