The 2013 Timoshenko Medal paper "Completion and Closure on Failure Criteria for Unidirectional Fiber Composite Materials " by Professor Richard Christensen from Stanford University is published in the Journal of Applied Mechanics in its January issue, 2014.  Professor Christensen will receive the ASME Timoshenko Medal at the IMECE conference in San Diego, CA, in November, 2013.

There is an open position at the Institute of Applied Mechanics of the Clausthal University of Technology for a



Research Assistant



(grant is given by the GIF - German-Israeli-Foundation for Scientific Research and Development - for 3 years).

 You will perform research and development work using active/passive vibration control measures to reduce vibration of typical offshore structures. You will also develop new

numerical models, new control algorithm, optimize the locations of actuator/sensors.
