Postdoctoral Position at Duke Soft Active Materials Laboratory
The Duke Soft Active Materials Laboratory directed by Prof Xuanhe Zhao is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study mechanics of polymers and hydrogels with applications in tissue regenerations. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with the Duke Orthopaedic Bioengineering Laboratory directed by Prof Farshid Guilak.
Using Nano Scratch Testing For Composite Failure
One of the major concerns for composite material is it’s durability in final form. The size of particles that form the strengthening additive can drastically affect the overall final performance of the composite material. By using the nano scratch testing method the failure of composite material can be compared to identify the most durable formula.
ADINA Electromagnetics
We have recently added the ADINA Electromagnetics module (ADINA-EM) to our wide range of multiphysics offerings. Using this module, the general Maxwell's equations can be effectively solved and the resulting electric and magnetic fields can be coupled to the fluid flow. For details please see:

define porous material in Deform 3D
Hi,
Now, I want to simulate forging porous billet in Deform 3D in order to investigate the density during forging process and I don’t know how to define the density in Deform. I hope to know any information and I will be thank for any advice.
Open source Matlab toolkit now includes 3-D beam elements
The FAESOR toolkit now incorporates a linear and geometrically nonlinear formulation of three-dimensional beams. Some updates and fixes have also been posted.
Rodney Hill died on 2 February 2011
Rodney Hill was born on 11 June 1921. He was a Reader, then Professor, in The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), of The University of Cambridge, during the period 1969-1979. He is widely regarded as among the foremost contributors to the foundations of solid mechanics over the second half of the 20th century. He was author of 'The Mathematical Theory of Plasticity' published in 1950.

On proposals
Every year I try to get funding for things that I'm personally interested in but which may not have any immediate economic benefits. A couple of years ago, after reading Penrose's "Road to Reality", I thought about applying Clifford algebra ideas to fracture mechanics and wrote up a proposal to that effect. The proposal wasn't funded, but I think the idea is worth exploring.
The summary of the proposal was
