Description
New Technologies Research centre at the University of West Bohemia
(Czech Republic) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in the
field of Computacional Mechanics of Materials. Highly motivated
individuals holding a PhD in Mechanics, Materials Science or closely
related fields are encouraged to apply.
You
will perform research and development in finite element of soft
materials such as prostate, tumour, and liver. You will also develop new
numerical models and methods for solving soft material non-linear
deformation; establish constitutive model of soft tissues and implement a
fast and robust FEM solver.
Requirements:
· A PhD in Biomechanics /Mechanical Engineering
There are six distinguished biophysicist in cell mechanics field (their research interests cover much broader areas) and the abbreviations of their first names are either C or D. They are Dr. David Weitz (Harvard U.), Dr. Christopher Chen (U. Penn.), Dr. Dennis Discher (U. Penn.), Dr. Denis Wirtz (JHU), Dr. Douglas Robinson (JHU), and Dr. Daniel Fletcher (U.C. Berkeley). These six scientists use both experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the biological responses of proteins and cells to mechanical stimuli, such as forces and geometrical constraints. Their research extends from molecular scale to cellular level to tissue level.
We welcome applications for a fully funded PhD position in the field of experimental mechanics and materials science. Further details in the attachment.

AmeriMech symposia are intended to promote interactions among researchers in an area of contemporary interest in the mechanics of fluids and solids. It is expected that the symposia will address topics of a specialized nature, will be small in size (about 50 participants) with minimal cost, held in an informal setting, encourage participation of young researchers, and promote interdisciplinary ideas and discussions. This format allows for in-depth discussions and close interactions between participants.
Hi All,
Do you know why some finite element softwares can not solve free-free vibrations of many applications unless you fix at least one degree of freedom ?
In this case I do not see how they are able to analyze free-free structures as planes.

Congratulations! This is the 1st entry.
Let me start with the self-introduction.
Identity : A first-year Doctoral student of Dalian University of Technology.
Major : Solid Mechanics
Now, the simulation of sheet metal forming is focused on.
Several recent papers have reported measurements of adhesion energy between graphene and other materials (e.g., Si/SiOx and copper) [1-3]. Like thin films, many experimental methods may be adopted to measure the interfacial properties of graphene, such as the pressurized blister test [2] and the double-cantilever beam test [3]. The challenges lie in the handling of atomically thin membranes and analysis/interpretation of the data.
The Atomistic Materials Modeling group of Prof. Erik Bitzek is
inviting applications for doctoral students in the area of Computational
Materials Science to join the Institute for General Materials Properties within
the Department of Materials Science of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany.
