Ph.D. position in the area of computational modeling of advanced material systems is available in the Composites Laboratory, Department of Aerospace Engineering and engineering mechanics at Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA. Qualified applicants should contact Dr. Azadeh Sheidaei by email at Sheidaei [at] iastate.edu
The DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, University of California, Berkeley, has extended the deadline for candidates to apply to a tenured Associate or Professor level faculty position in the areas of Advanced Manufacturing, Design and/or Materials Engineering, including but not limited to: Clean energy, green and sustainable manufacturing. Precision and cyber-manufacturing. 3-D additive and subtractive manufacturing. Design, including design theory, product design and design for manufacturability.
Applications are sought for a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Cardiff University, UK to join the exciting and active M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for thermal-elastic interaction. This will be achieved by building on the level set topology optimization method that the M2DO lab has developed for mechanical and coupled problems. The application of interest is in the high temperature environment in aero-engines. The position is for two years.
Please consider submitting an abstract to the Mini-Symposium 63 Extreme mechanics of architected materials for the EMI 2018 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference which will take place May 29 - June 1 at MIT. The deadline for abstract submission is January 31.
Would you like to be a part of the Ph.D. research training program linked to the industry and leading European research organizations? Are you interested in mastering advanced experimental and modelling tools? Please, apply!

Yamaguchi University in Japan use Simpleware as part of their biomechanics research and studies of spinal injuries. 3D modeling and simulation enables detailed analysis of potential clinical solutions. In this study, adult brachial plexus injuries are examined using a complex 3D Finite Element model (FEM) of the spine, dura mater, roots, and the brachial plexus. The authors looked at the mechanism of injury for the brachial plexus, particularly for stress and strain distribution, and how useful the model is for other applications.
We present a unified classical treatment of partially constrained elastic rods. Partial constraints often entail singularities in both shapes and reactions. Our approach encompasses both sleeve and adhesion problems, and provides simple and unambiguous derivations of counterintuitive results in the literature. Relationships between reaction forces and moments, geometry, and adhesion energies follow from the balance of energy during quasistatic motion. We also relate our approach to the configurational balance of material momentum and the concept of a driving traction.
Learn about Simpleware for 3D image to model solutions at the 8th Conference on Industrial Computed Tomography, held at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria this February.
Meet the Simpleware team at this event to explore the software's use for materials characterisation and industrial analysis.
