While R&D topics continue
to lead as a beacon for economic recovery, a crucial part of the R&D process
continues to receive little to no attention. And make no mistake, you are about
to learn of the single most important factor in the advancement of new or
improved material technologies around the world.
Up to 2 PhD positions on isogeometric methods for structural and/or biomedical applications are available within the PhD program in Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials, run by the IUSS (Pavia) in collaboration with the University of Pavia.
The positions will officially start in November 2011 and interested candidates should apply by July 2011 (early applications are encouraged).
Funding is provided by the “Ideas” ERC Starting Grant project “ISOBIO: Isogeometric Methods for Biomechanics”.
1 PhD position on modeling of advanced materials and, in particular, of shape memory alloys (SMA) is available within the PhD program in Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials, run by the IUSS (Pavia) in collaboration with the University of Pavia.
The position will officially start in November 2011 and interested candidates should apply by July 2011 (early applications are encouraged).

As a proud member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) was established in April 1998 to provide leadership in high performance computing as a strategic resource for scientific inquiry and industry development. Our mission is to advance science and technology and develop leading-edge applications through high performance computing and computational science.
when I model excavation with low permeablity soil problem is not converging,due to the negligible vaule of excess pore pressure throught the soil.How can I resove this problem for the real excavation time .(If I run the analysis within very short period of time , results can be obtained under undrained ccondition)
how can I model dewatering during excavation using ABAQUS
EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE will hold its annual conference on June 2-4, 2011 at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Prof. Ming L. Wang, Prof. Dionisio P. Bernal and Prof. Jerome F. Hajjar will be the Co-Chairs of the EMI 2011 Conference. For details, visit http://www.northeastern.edu/emi2011/ .
Two-point tensor appears in some of continnuum mechanics reference books.
1. In wikipedia, two-point tensor is interperated as:" Two-point tensors, or double vectors, are tensor-like quantities which ... "
2.Physically speaking, a tensor is a quantity that should not be changed by coordinate transformation while two-point tensor seems to have essential relationship with coordinates.
