Mechanics for soft machines

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

I gave a seminar at Xian Jiaotong University on 27 October 2009.  I recently found the video of the seminar online.  The seminar was in Chinese, but the slides were in English.

If the subject interests you, the following papers will lead you to the literature.

HELLO, EVERYONE I AM A M.TECH STUDENT IN PANTNAGAR UNIVERSITY IN INDIA AND I AM DOING MY RESEARCH WORK ON CALCULATING FRACTURE PARAMETERS USING ANSYS, PROBLEM IS THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO MODEL A CRACK FOR 2-D ANALYSIS,PLEASE HELP ME WITH THAT,I AM USING ANSYS 13.0

PhD and Post-doctoral Associate Positions Available at Rice University

Submitted by Rouzbeh1 on

Ph.D and postdoctoral associate positions are available at Rice University in the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multiscale modeling of cement-based materials. The projects include carrying out bottom-up atomistic and microtexture predictive simulations. Computational techniques will be integrated to approaches from statistical mechanics and physical chemistry to provide quantitative predictions of properties of cementitious materials across different time- and length-scales. The research will be carried out at Rice University’s Laboratory for Multiscale
Materials Modeling.

PhD STUDENTSHIPS FLUID STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Submitted by fhuera on

The Fluid-Structure Interactions Lab (LIFE) (http://www.etseq.urv.es/life/) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for an enthusiastic research student with a strong interest in fluid dynamics to apply for one of the FI 2012 grants given by the Catalan Government. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction problems.

Post-Doc in Grenoble, France: Atomic-scale twinning in HCP metals

Submitted by drodney on

A postdoctoral position is available in the material science laboratory (SIMAP) of INP Grenoble, France, in David Rodney’s group in collaboration with Laurent Capolungo from Georgia Tech Lorraine, with primary focus on the atomic-scale study of twinning in HCP metals. We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to apply saddle-point search methods, including the Nudged Elastic Band method and the Activation Relaxation Technique, to study the nucleation and propagation of primary and secondary twins during the plastic deformation of HCP metals.
