The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanics.  The appointment is expected to be at the assistant professor level; in an exceptional case, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, development of an independent, internationally-recognized research program, and supervision of student research.

The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University invites applications and nominations for a tenured faculty position beginning in September 2010 at the Associate or Full Professor level. Candidates with well established, well funded and internationally recognized research programs are sought to expand the department’s research efforts. The position is in the general area of Nanotechnology, preferably with an emphasis in mechanics. Collaboration with our NSF funded Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing as well as excellence in teaching are expected.

We present an application of fluid-structure interaction analysis to the mechanics of red blood cells. For more information see the following link:

Please recall that we offer a special academic package, for research and teaching, for university users. For more information see:

The 2009 ASME Congress starts this weekend.  You can find the schedule of the meetings of all the committees (326KB pdf).  This note lists a few special events. 

Monday, 16 November, 8:00 am to 9:30 am. Plenary Session in Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids

I am interested in the computational crystal plasticity (elastic-viscoplastic models), and I intend to start working in this area. Therefore, I am looking for some review papers--

1- which provide an overview of the state-of-art in this area (a summary of the recognised single crystal plasticity models).

2- about the application of single crystal plasticity using micromechanics based  multiscale FEM for the prediction of texture evolution.

I will be very thankful if sombody can answer these queries.

Hi all...

I am new to abaqus. I have to model cone penetration test (CPT) in abaqus.

I am using drucker prager plasticity and hardening to model the soil.

The cohesion (d) decreases as plastic strain increases. But how do i input this into the model ?

Drucker prager hardening inputs have yield stress and plastic strain columns.

So from cohesion, how do i get the yield stress values ?
