A PhD scholarship is available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark in the field of micro mechanical modelling of composite materials for wind turbine blades. The department has well-established research activities within material modelling and composite mechanics.

Advances in Computational Fluid Mechanics and Fluid-Structure Interactions

Free access until July 31, 2010.

At the department of Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D student positions starting immediately in the general area of Computational Mechanics/Materials Physics. The material systems that we are interested in—for example, graphene, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots—are relevant for nanotechnology and energy applications. The current research topics are multidisciplinary in nature, with underlying principles drawn from Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics.

I'm pleased to announce that the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials (JMBBM) has received its first impact factor. For 2009 the impact factor is 3.176*, ranking JMMBM 4^th in category Materials Science, Biomaterials and 8^th in Engineering, Biomedical.

Congratulations to the editorial team - a great result reflecting all their contributions since the Journal's inception in 2007 - and sincere thanks to the authors and reviewers who supported the Journal in its first three years!
