assistant professor position

The Mechanical Engineering program of the School of Dynamic Systems at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position. The position is available as early as in fall 2013. Candidates for this position should hold (by the time of employment) an earned doctoral degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering field. The successful candidate is expected to build a strong funded research program, publish in archival journals, advise graduate students, and teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical engineering.

Nonlinear Size-Dependent Analysis of Elastic Tiny-Bodies

Submitted by M. Shaat on

Many researchers have studied the effect of surface energy on the
elastic behavior of nano-structural elements based on Gurtin and Murdoch surface
model. Many of them, however, assumed that the surface energy depends only on
the 2D symmetric infinitesimal surface strains and neglects the second-order
products of surface strains/displacement gradients. Moreover, there are some
researchers assumed that the surface energy is independent on infinitesimal
rotation tensor and neglected all rotation

Kinetic Energy-Based Temperature Computation in Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulation

temperature

      The velocities of atoms in MD simulation are not objective quantities, which depend on the choice of the reference frame and sample size. In our previous study (node/3181), we discussed how to overcome this non-objectivity and compute the atomic stress objectively. In this blog, our newly published paper on temperature computation is attached, and the abstract is as follows.

Plasticity

Hi all,

      I doing modelling on soft clay behaviour which exhibit softening behaviour during constant strain loading. Here i followed a non-associated flow rule for better prediction of dilation . For the case of non-associated flow rule yield function and plastic potential function should not same i clear in that , my doubt is that we can use two different surface for yield and plastic potential function (eg: linear surface as yield surface and elliptical surface as plastic potential )?

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces three vacant PhD positions in the area of Nanomechanics. NTNU is responsible for educating 80% of the total master level engineers in Norway and represents academic eminence in technology and natural sciences as well as in other academic disciplines. The activity at NTNU includes international collaboration with a large number of industries and academic institutions. The topics of the three PhD positions are strongly connected to industrial applications.
