SES symposium "Soft Materials" extended DEADLINE approaching -- July 31, 2015
Dear Colleagues,
The 52nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be hosted by Texas A&M University during October 26-28, 2015. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent experimental, computational, theoretical, and manufacturing advances on the mechanics and physics of soft materials. Topics of particular interest include:
Strain rate in tensile test in abaqus explicit
hi ,
How to vary strain rate in abaqus explicit in tensile test simulation.
i know the expression in tensile test that strain rate = velocity / gauge length, but how can m decide the step time.
for example ifthe strain rate is 100 sec-1, and gauge length is 25 mm thn the velocity is 1.66*e-5 m/s. so what is the step time in this case................
any body tell me the relation between strain rate and step time.
thanks in advance

Fossil-fueled civilization
I'll be teaching an undergraduate course on engineering thermodynamics. We will use the textbook by Cengel and Boles. I will supplement the textbook using my own notes on thermodynamics. Teaching this course will give me an opportunity to revise these notes and add new pieces. Here are notes for the opening lecture.
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions - University of Notre Dame
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions: Interdisciplinary Projects between University of Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania and Argonne National Laboratory
Postdoctoral position at the Technion
A new postdoctoral fellow position will start on 1 November 2015 at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The position is in the area of theoretical and computational modeling of dynamic failure in soft solids. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D.
Open Stanford faculty position in Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University (http://me.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor). Applications will be reviewed across all disciplines of mechanical engineering. As part of recent strategic planning, the department has identified special hiring needs and opportunities in controls, robotics, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.
MIT CEE Rising Stars Workshop October 15-16, 2015
MIT invites top early career women in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and related domains (e.g. mechanics, materials, environmental and earth science) who are interested in careers in academia to apply to attend this new innovative workshop to be held on the MIT campus.
