The Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position on multi-scale biomechanics of soft tissues. The project goal is to understand aging and vision. To apply, send TWO representative publications and CV to Ian Sigal, PhD (ian [at] ocularbiomechanics.com). More details about the Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at www.OcularBiomechanics.org. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.

We use Hodge-type orthogonal decompositions for studying the compatibility equations of the displacement gradient and the linear strain with prescribed boundary displacements. We show that the displacement gradient is compatible if and only if for any equilibrated virtual first-Piola Kirchhoff stress tensor field, the virtual work done by the displacement gradient is equal to the virtual work done by the prescribed boundary displacements. This condition is very similar to the classical compatibility equations for the linear strain.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in the minisymposium “Nonlocal Theories and Multiscale Methods for Complex Material Behavior” that we are organizing at the 12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) to be held on July 24-29, 2016 in Seoul, Korea, jointly with the 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI).
