The NNIN at the University of Michigan will be hosting a presentation on
” MEMS Virtual Prototyping for Debugging Your Process Flow.”, which
will be broadcast live as a web based seminar.
The Webinar will be webcast live from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT on 25th September, 2012.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the American University of Sharjah is seeking applicants for a one year visiting position (starting January 2013) at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the field of Design and Manufacturing. Strong preference will be given to candidates with degrees (BS, MS, PhD) from a western-style university that is ABET (or equivalent) accredited. Teaching experience in an American model of higher education and work experience in North American industry are highly desirable. Also, prior teaching experience in Manufacturing is desirable.
A post-doctoral position is available at our continuum mechanics workgroup (Prof. Tsakmakis, TU Darmstadt, Germany) for developing nonlinear material models in finite element software in FORTRAN 90.
Excellent knowledge in nonlinear continuum mechanics, tensor calculus, numerical methods in solid mechanics and FORTRAN 90 is required.
If you are interested, please contact me, Dr. C. Broese, broese [at] mechanik.tu-darmstadt.de
Temperature-dependent
modulus of glass fiber/epoxy composite laminates were studied at temperatures
ranging from room temperature up to 120℃. The storage modulus, loss
modulus, loss factor, and glass transition temperature of two layer-up composite
laminates were investigated by dynamic mechanic analysis (DMA). Static flexural
modulus was also measured by control force mode in DMA. A new and simple temperature-dependent
model both for the dynamic storage modulus and static flexural modulus was developed.
2-year postdoc opening for a project in numerical analysis/molecular simulation. More details are available at

Hello Experts,
I have written a uel subroutine where I have totally 12 degree of freedom. Among these 12 degree of freedom, 6 are standard abaqus degree of freedom (3 Displacements and 3 Rotations) and another 6 are User defined degree of freedom.
I assign these these degree of freedom in following way.
*USER ELEMENT,TYPE =U9, NODES=9,PROPERTIES=24,coordinates=3
1,2,3,4,5,6
9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
I am looking for a reference where I can find a mathematical proof of the principle of virtual displacements (work)
In this paper, the first-order shear deformation plate (FSDT) model is exploited to investigate the mechanical behavior of laminated composite and functional graded plates. Three approaches are developed to transform the laminated composite plate, with stepped material properties, to an equivalent functionally graded (FG) plate with a continuous property function across the plate thickness. Such transformations are used to determine the details of a functional graded plate equivalent to the original laminated one. In addition it may provide an easy and efficient way to investigate the behavior of multilayer composite plates, with direct and less computational efforts. A comparative study has been developed to compare the effectiveness of the three proposed transformation procedures.
In the theory of dislocations, the Burgers vector is usually defined by referring to a crystal structure. Using the notion of affine development of curves on a differential manifold with a connection, we give a differential geometric definition of the Burgers vector directly in the continuum setting, without making use of an underlying crystal structure.
