Submitted by Teng Li on
conference
Dear colleagues,


We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a Symposium on Mechanics of Integrated Structures and Materials in Advanced Technologies at the ASME 2011 IMECE, to be held Nov 11-17, 2011, at Denver, Colorado. This symposium will be the sixth in such a symposium series organized by ASME Technical Committee of Integrated Structures since IMECE 2006. We hope you can join us and continue the success of this symposium series.

Learn Engineering on Anatomy in an Innovation Course

Submitted by Mimics on
conference
biomechanics
medical image processing 3D FEA CFD CAD RP mesh

At least 25 Innovation Courses will be organized all over the world by Materialise.
The Innovation Course is an accessible, 2-day, hands-on training in the Mimics Innovation Suite in which you start with medical image data, create accurate 3D models and learn to; e.g. do 3D measurements and analyses, prepare for FEA and design patient-specific implants.

Join us at a location of your choice to see how powerful, yet how easy it can be to preform engineering operations on anatomical data.

job
Post-Doc Position; Solid Mechanics; Computational Mechanics

A post-doctoral position is immediately available in our research group in the area of micromechanics of materials focusing on failure. Candidates with experience in computational modeling (MD/ meso-mechanics/ continuum mechanics) of crystalline/ non-crystalline (including polymeric) materials are encouraged to apply. Initial appointment will be for one year and may be extended by another year depending on the funding situation and performance.

If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.
