Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to the Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures Symposium at the 49th Society of Engineering Science (SES) Meeting at Georgia Tech on October 10-12, 2012.
SES 2012, symposium "Mechanics of Thin Film and Multilayer Structures"
Dear Colleagues:
We are writing to invite you to submit abstracts to the symposium "Mechanics of Thin Film and Multilayer Structures" (Symposium IV.11) at the upcoming SES 49th Annual Technical Meeting to be held in Georgia Tech during Oct. 10-12, 2012.
Measuring mechanical properties of nanoparticle in nanocomposite using nanoindenter
Hi There,
I am going to measure the mechanical properties of nanoparticle in Nano composite using nanoindenter. I searched through the literature and I did not find any work that measure this individually and all of them measured properties of nanocomposite not the inclusion itself. ThanksAzadeh
Assistant Professor openings in India
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras is seeking to fill Assistant Professor openings in the broad area of Structural Mechanics. Current focus areas include but are not limited to Structural Dynamics, Composites, Structural Optimization, Smart structures, Aircraft Structural Design, Space Structures and Rotorcraft Dynamics; candidates with an inclination for experimental work are preferred.. Applications will be accepted till the vacancies are filled. Applicants must hold an earned Ph.D.
Effects of the constraint’s curvature on structural instability: tensile buckling and multiple bifurcations
Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?
We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html
Experimental Results: RC beams under blast load
Good morning,
I'm looking for some field results concerning blast load on RC beams. In particular I'm interested in the time history of pressure and deflection. Does anybody know any publication dealing with this topic?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Opening for Master/Ph.D. in computational materials science
Two openings for Master/Ph.D. studentship are now repost for January, 2013 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba in the field of computational materials science. Students with a strong background/intrest in materials simulation (atomistic, e.g., Ab initio, MD or Monte Carlo, or mesoscale phase field simulations) are encouraged to apply.
