Dear Colleague,

It is well known that the straight configuration of a flexible vertical riser conveying fluid destabilizes in a divergence-type buckling instability once the velocity of the transporting fluid exceeds a critical speed. To compute the critical velocity, the dynamics of small amplitude perturbations to the straight configuration are computed. If the perturbations are sufficiently small and the transport speed is above a critical value, then the instability of the vertical riser can be detected.

Dear Colleague,

I'm delighted to inform you that the Department of Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley, seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level, starting July 1, 2020 or on a mutually agreed date thereafter. The department seeks candidates with expertise in one or more of the following: Fluid Mechanics; Energy Science and Technology; Design and Manufacturing; and Control and Robotics.

For further details on the scope of the search, I refer you

The group in “Mechanics of soft and living interfaces” at UPC in Barcelona (also affiliated to IBEC and CIMNE) lead by Prof. Marino Arroyo seeks for candidates with a background in theoretical/computational mechanics, scientific computing, applied mathematics or biophysics to work in an int

Multiple Ph.D. students are being sought to fill openings in the Predictive Computational Engineering (PCE) Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. PCE Lab concerns with multidisciplinary research at the intersect of multiscale modeling of materials, physics-based machine learning, and scientific computing.

Dear colleagues, 

we would like to make you aware of the topical session 

"Data driven materials science"

which is part of the MM program during the DPG Spring Meeting 2020. The latter takes place March 15-20, 2020, in Dresden.  

If you are performing experiments or simulations in this emerging field, you are most welcome to contribute your abstract. You can find the session at the bottom of the list "Themenbereiche" on the abstract submission webpage
