MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty Position in Mechanics of Solids and Structures
The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanics of Solids and Structures. The appointment is expected to be at the assistant professor level; in an exceptional case, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, development of an independent, internationally-recognized research program, and supervision of student research.

Running MD simulations with LAMMPS
In appendix A of my PhD thesis, I share a MATLAB code to get coordinates of carbon atoms in a graphene sheet. The code also generates the data file required for LAMMPS. In addition, I included a sample input and the corresponding output files from LAMMPS. I hope this will be useful for those who would like to learn MD simulations.
Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) package can also be used to obtain coordinates of graphene.
ABAQUS: Trouble getting VUFIELD subroutine to work
Hi all,
This is my first post on iMechanica. I'm a student at UC Davis working on my master's project which is a FEM analysis of a bridge footing. I've scoured the web, read and reread the Abaqus Documentation, and tried trial and error for a couple weeks on a problem, to no avail. Here's the issue:
Determination of Density of Laminated Composite
Dear Engineers,
I would like to determine the density of laminated composite which consists of one lamina E-Glass/Epoxy and another one is thin layer of steel plate due to determining Young's Modulus through non-diestructive technique-Impulse excitation.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Abaqus Subroutine and python subscripting
Dear All,
I was wondering if anyone used abaqus user subroutines to couple the micro and macro models? If any one has used it and is also willing to share the knowledge?
I am looking for some guidance on how to run another *inp and get it's out put in the subroutine. any example on this is greatly appreciated.
Tenure-track Faculty Position at NC State
The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) expects a tenure track faculty position to be filled in the area of Structural Engineering and Mechanics. Exceptional candidates in all areas within structural engineering and mechanics are encouraged to apply; applicants with expertise in modeling of structural systems or materials are of particular interest.
Steady State Dynamics Vs Implicit Dynamics
800x600
Hello all,
There has been
much debate about the difference between Implicit and Explicit Dynamics. I was
wondering what exactly is the difference between 'Implicit Dynamics' and 'Steady
State Dynamics (SSD)' steps in Abaqus though it has been explained a bit in the
manuals.
