Inspire AG is a technology transfer organisation with strong links to ETH Zürich. The Inspire Centre for Mechanical Integrity (ICMI) was established at the beginning of 2012 and aims to develop and provide mechanical integrity solutions for a wide range of applications in a way which is underpinned by fundamental research. ICMI operates in a close collaboration with the High Temperature Integrity Group (HTIG) of EMPA (Dübendorf). It currently offers a PhD position on:

In this paper, using the Hilbert complexes of nonlinear elasticity, the approximation theory for Hilbert complexes, and the finite element exterior calculus, we introduce a new class of mixed finite element methods for 2D nonlinear elasticity -- compatible-strain mixed finite element methods (CSFEM). We consider a Hu-Washizu-type mixed formulation and choose the displacement, the displacement gradient, and the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor as independent unknowns. We use the underlying spaces of the Hilbert complexes as the solution and test spaces.
We welcome applications for a post-doctoral position in the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML) at Vanderbilt University. MCML is a part of the interdisciplinary Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MuMS) facility.
Hi everybody
I'm a new user of abaqus and I'm trying to describe the heat generation in a changing phase thermoset polymer using abaqus user subroutine HETVAL. I need for my computations the current element number (in such a way that I can find the adjacent elements in the connectivity matrix).
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thank you

Hi everybody
My new paper on the buckling behavior of cracked FGM shells has been published in the Composite Structures.
I would be very happy to answer any further question.
I attached the pdf file of the paper to this blog.
