software

I hava a problem regarding to solve the analysis of plates with transverse loading with help of ANSYS.

plz help me how can i proceed becoz it's results are not maching with theoritically as given analysis methods in " theory of plates" by s. chandrashekhra.

Approaching CNT Reinforcing Up-limit by Hydrogen Passivation Induced Dispersion

CNT; Dispersion; Reinforcing; Hydrogen passivation

We have developed a technique, described in Advanced Materials , which combines hydrogen passivation with ultrasonication to successfully disperse multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in both absolute ethanol solution and epoxy resin, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in the application of nanotubes.

mechanics of soft matter

I'm interested in developing finite element software for soft matter configurations. Is there any open source FE software already developed for such materials? My purpose is to research and develop algorithms that use GPU technology for modelling complex materials on a desktop

Postdocs in large deformation continuum mechanics at Carnegie Mellon-Qatar and at Michigan State University (East Lansing)

Submitted by Tom Pence on Fri, 04/13/2012 - 18:27

job

We anticipate three postdoc openings, two at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and one at Michigan State University (East Lansing). The research will involve developing continuum mechanical models for treating swelling in highly deformable soft biological tissue and for treating complex compliant media, meaning materials with a microstructure that actively rearranges either as a part of its normal function or else when triggered by external stimuli.
