Is two point tensor a REAL tensor?
Two-point tensor appears in some of continnuum mechanics reference books.
1. In wikipedia, two-point tensor is interperated as:" Two-point tensors, or double vectors, are tensor-like quantities which ... "
2.Physically speaking, a tensor is a quantity that should not be changed by coordinate transformation while two-point tensor seems to have essential relationship with coordinates.
Advanced Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring your attention to the symposium on "Advanced
Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices ". The
Symposium will be held at the University of Michigan from April 19 to April
20, 2011.
This Symposium brings together leading researchers in this field to review
recent progress and latest developments and review future challenges in
NEMS/MEMS and Micro/Nano-Fluidics.

New Chairs at University of Exeter
The University of Exeter will shortly announce several new chairs it is seeking to fill.
The chairs are full tenured chairs and in the following areas -
Cell Mechanics (two chairs, one nominally experimental and one nominally theoretical).
Structural Dynamics, possibly with an aerospace flavour.
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me (c.w.smith-at-exeter.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.
Regards,
Chris Smith
ANSYS Mechanical Thermal Analysis - Average Temperature
I've a result from thermal transient analysis. The result shows the maximum and minimum temperature of 4cm * 4cm plate with thickness of 1 mm.
Since the temperature of that plate is not uniform, so I'd like to see the average temperature from overall plate. How can I do it?
Thank you.
Element for orthotropic material containing cracks??
Hi...
I am modeling orthotropic plate containing holes and cracks which element canI use for this purpose..?
can anyone suggest what type of element I can use for above purpose..?
thanks in advance.......
Looking for postdoc position in solid mechanics/biophysics
Dear everyone,
My name is Tianxiang Su. I am a 4th year PhD student in ME department in UPenn, working with Dr. Prashant Purohit. I am graduating in August and would like to look for a postdoc position in solid mechanics or biophysics. I am keeping an eye on this forum for openings myself. But if anyone happens to know some other great opportunities, please kindly let me know.
