Open PhD position: Microstructures in Solids
Info: The goal of this project is to investigate the mechanical and acoustical behavior of materials characterized by a well-defined miscrostructure. The research will involve experimental, theoretical and computational mechanics.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, science-driven, outstanding young
candidate with experience in solid and structural mechanics. Experience
with basic mechanical testing techniques is also appreciated.

So, What's It Gonna Be?
Teacher, Scientist, or Engineer
From thinking about the 'I'd Love to Change the World' discussion, I have concluded that my dilemma stems from the (basically) three career paths from which I can choose.
A teacher that can have a great deal of influence on a select number of other individuals' lives and can take great pride in helping others achieve their potential, and possibly make great contributions to society.
A scientist that can continue to explore the unexplained and hopefully discover something that could contribute to society.

How Many Friends Is Too Many?
One MySpace exec has even surprised himself by friending a potato. This particular russet has 2,965 friends.
Contact
I am implementing contact in my FEM code , I wanted to know if any one can help me with the implementation of node to surface or surface to surface contact .
