The Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, invites applications for Postdoctoral fellow in Mechanical Engineering at the Composite and Heterogeneous Material Analysis and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS, http://cohmas.kaust.edu.sa). 

Field of study 1

Postdoctoral openings are available in “Computational Mechanics” with applications to interfacial mechanics in laminated composites.

We are looking for a PhD student in the area of structural optimization and additive manufacturing starting Fall 2018. Applicants with background in the area of solid mechanics/ computational mechanics/ structural optimization/ additive manufacturing will be preferred.

Please send your application (including CV and representative publications) to ali.tamijani [at] erau.edu (ali[dot]tamijani[at]erau[dot]edu)

Dear all,


Please find the recently published review paper on finite element modeling of orthogonal machining process at the following link:

Dear Colleagues,

The organization of the Solvay Workshop: "Mechanics of Slender Strucures in Physics, Biology and Engineering: From failure to functionality" (27-29 August, 2018, ULB, Brussels, Belgium), is going well and we are excited by the substantial number of good quality submissions that we have received. 

However, following many requests, we are pleased to extend the deadline for abstract submission to: April 15, 2018.

Please note that, due to organizational reasons, further extension of the deadline will not be possible.

Date/Time: Thursday, March 22, 2018 / 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Location: North Star Imaging UK, High Wycombe, UK

Fee: Free-to-attend. Pre-registration is required as places are limited

Does anyone know more about the causes of that collapse?

Now that we supposedly know so much about mechanics, why does a small-span bridge like that collapse?  

It it because we are optimizing prematurely based on false confidence in numerical models?

Dear Colleague,

 we are pleased to announce a four-day CECAM/Psi-k Workshop on

 "Emergence of surface and interface structure from friction, fracture and deformation",

that will take place at the EPFL campus in Lausanne from Tuesday 24th July to Friday 27th July 2018.

Join us for this free webinar on the latest features and improvements to Simpleware software's 3D image data visualization, analysis and model generation capabilities.
