2nd. International Conference on Biomedical Technology, Hannover - Oct. 28-30, 2015

Submitted by D. Schulte on

Current challenges in medicine and engineering are related to the application of computational methods to clinical medicine and the study of biological systems at different scales. Based on the tremendous advances in medical imaging and high-performance computing, engineering is able to help in medical decision processes or implant designs. Thus, the complex development of innovative degradable and non-degradable implants can only be addressed by a multidisciplinary approach of physicians, natural scientis, and engineers from a wide range of specialisation.

Postdoc opening in mechanics of nano- and bio-matericals at Northwestern University

Submitted by hdespinosa on

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position within the Micro and Nano Mechanics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University.  The candidate will perform research in the area of nanomechanics of high-performance materials such as 2D materials, nanowires, and biomaterials. The candidate will be expected to contribute to a vibrant multidisciplinary research group and be able to work in close collaboration with chemists and theoreticians.

Temperature Dependent CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion)

Submitted by rohan_patel8388 on

Hello People,

Would anyone please tell me or provide any documentation for how to find Temperature Dependent CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) or modulus of elasticity? I have water which is encapsulated in box made of steel and which goes under freezing process and water expands. 

So i need any mathematic relations for water and metal as well to fine CTE.

Thanking you,

Rohan
