Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering
The University of West Florida (UWF) is establishing a new undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering (ME) to tentatively start in fall 2016. UWF invites experienced applicants in the ME or related fields for a faculty position at the Associate Professor level starting fall 2015 (Position # 122040). The successful candidate will work with the chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, the college dean and the Provost Office to set the foundations of the new program and work out the details of its curriculum.
Assistant or Associate Profesor in Computational Materials Science at the University of Wyoming
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of computational materials science, with an emphasis on multi-scale modeling, including atomistic and molecular scale modeling. Special consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in energy-, bio- or high-temperature materials.
Biomechanics Tenure Track Position in Cornell MAE
We are recruiting applicants for a tenure track position at Cornell University in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the field of Biomechanics. Areas of particular interest include spine biomechanics/ kinematics, cell and tissue engineering and cell and tissue mechanics. Biomechanics faculty at the School have opportunities to take part in the Cornell-Hospital for Special Surgery Institute for Orthopaedic Biomechanics as well as other research centers/facilities on the Ithaca campus and the newly founded Cornell NYC Tech campus in New York City.

is further developed. Part I established the coordination of failure theory with
Invitation to submit abstracts for MS54 in EMI 2015 (Stanford)
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to the following minisymposium taking place as part of the EMI conference in Stanford (June 16-19, 2015)
uniaxial strain test - solution for stress distribution
Hello,
Does anyone know the analytical solution for the stress within a elastic solid under uniaxial strain with small free surfaces?
This solution should account a sort of transition in the stress distribution from the edge towards the center.
example:
Let's suppose to have 2 rigid disks glued together with a soft adhesive material.
