Reversal load steps using Ansys RC Beam Column Joint
How to apply the Reversal load steps using Ansys, Mono tonic load application of the load steps not a problem & performance also I am getting as per the laboratory results crack patens ,Any one pls.help me.............
How can I transfer data from c++ programming into Tecplot?
I wrote a code with c++ and now I wat to transport them to Tecplot for showing result in charts.
How can i do that?

Postdoctoral Associate Position Available at Northwestern University
A postdoctoral associate position is available at the Computational Nanodynamics Group at Northwestern University. This research project focuses broadly on atomistic and multi-scale modeling and simulation of the mechanics and dynamics of organic, biological and bioinspired nanomaterials. The post-doctoral researcher will have the opportunity to investigate diverse issues related to mechanics and transport phenomena in emerging nanostructured materials.
Dynamic model of ion and water transport in ionic polymer-metal composites
In the process of electro-mechanical transduction of
ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs), the transport of ion and water molecule
plays an important role. In this paper, the theoretical transport models of
IPMCs are critically reviewed, with particular emphasis on the recent
developments in the latest decade. The models can be divided into three classes,
thermodynamics of irreversible process model, frictional model and Nernst-Planck
(NP) equation model. To some extent the three models can be transformed into
each other, but their differences are also obvious arising from the various
mechanisms that considered in different models. The transport of ion and water
molecule in IPMCs is compared with that in membrane electrode assembly and

Professor Yannis F. Dafalias to Receive the 2012 Nathan M. Newmark Medal from ASCE
The American Society of Civil Engineers has awarded the 2012 Nathan M. Newmark Medal to Yannis F. Dafalias, a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis. The award honors Dafalias’s research in plasticity of metals and soils, finite elastic-plastic deformations, inherent and evolving anisotropy, and structural optimization.
MIT Postdoctoral Position in Finite Element Analysis for DNA nanotechnology
The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent communication skills, written and verbal, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of productivity publishing in high quality archival journals.
