One postdoctoral position is currently available for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations—preferably atomistic methods—to develop approaches for solving inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling (i.e. determining what atomic-level structures and compositions yield desired macroscale properties, rather than predicting macroscale properties given atomic-level information). These methods will be applied to the design of radiation resistant nanocomposites in collaboration with an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Los Alamos NL.

The Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow research position in topology optimization. The Fellow will focus on

For those who are interested in meshfree methods I think this could be an interesting paper/MATLAB code to look here and

Michigan Technological University invites applicants for new tenure-track positions at any rank in the broad areas of health sciences and engineering. This campus-wide Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI) is projected to bring up to ten new faculty members, including possible endowed positions, to campus over the next two years to strengthen the key focus areas of biochemistry, bioengineering, bioethics, biomaterials, biomechanics, human factors, medical informatics, cell biology, physiology, and statistical genetics.

Hello,

i'd like to model only one small segment of a large elastic plate. This plate is uniformly loaded by sinusoidal dynamic load.

The question is how i kann describe the boundary of this small segment, whose boundaris changes over the time. Is it possible to model the boundary conditions of this segment without consideration of its connection to the large plate.

I hope on your help.

Mike

In imechanica when a blog is posted, we get good response / discussion (or sharing ideas, knowledge etc) from members. This happens many times.

If there is no response for a particular blog even after many days...then....what? It may be updated (because some members might have missed it). Even then also if there is no response, what may be done???

The Congress will be held between June 27 and July 2, 2010, at the Pennsylvania State University.
