Symposium at 2015 Mach Conference
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a symposium titled "To Yield or Not to Yield: Multiscale Perspectives in Plasticity and Failure of Materials" at the 2015 Mach conference, which will be held in Annapolis, MD, USA during April 8-10, 2015. We cordially invite you to participate in the 2015 Mach Conference by giving a talk in our symposium.
Rigid-plastic flow
The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity. When I update the notes, I will post a link on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo.
PhD Position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
I am seeking Ph.D. students to work on developing and using multiscale methods for modeling nanocomposites and nanomaterials. Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering, material science, civil engineering or other related areas. Candidates with computational solid mechanics experience at the continuum or molecular level are highly preferred.
MS 301 on Multiscale Computational homogenization at USNCCM 2015, San Diego CA, USA
You are welcome to submit abstracts to the MS 301 "Multiscale Computational homogenization for bridging scales in the mechanics and physics of complex materials", organized by P. Wriggers, K. Terada, M. Geers, M. Cho and myself at the 13th US National Congress on Computation Mechanics (USNCCM), July 26-30, 2015, in San Diego CA, USA.
The deadline for abstract submission is February 15, 2015.
The topics of the MS can be found here:
Green–Lagrange strain for Shell: transformation from curvilinear coordinate to local Cartesian coordinate
Hello all:
I am confused about how to transform Green–Lagrange strain defined using curvilinear coordinate to local Cartesian coordinate.
PhD Studentship in Multiscale Modelling of Nanocomposites Manufacturing
PhD Studentship in Multiscale Modelling of Nanocomposites Manufacturing is available at the International
Institute for Nanocomposites Manufacturing, WMG, University of Warwick, UK.
Due to funding restrictions, funding is only available for well-qualified UK or EU students. Other motivated students are encouraged to apply but will need to secure their own funding. Candidates should hold a 1st or 2.1 degree in any science or engineering discipline which had a significant materials/engineering simulation content.
Please see the attached PDF for more details.
