Seeking postdoctoral researcher - Molecular Dynamics of CNT-nanocomposites
The Irish Research Council (http://www.ircset.ie/tabid/64/default.aspx) has a funding scheme for postdoctoral researchers. I am seeking someone to submit an application to IRCSET to obtain funding to work within my group, in Modelling of CNT-based nanocomposites. The chances of success are high for candidates with a good research record. The deadline for applications is December 8th.
Intermediate Mechanics of Materials - 2nd Edition
Springer has just published the second edition of my book
`Intermediate Mechanics of Materials'. The book covers a selection of topics appropriate to a second course in mechanics of materials. Many books with titles like 'Advanced Mechanics of Materials' are pitched at a much higher level than most introductory courses and this can present a significant barrier to undergraduate students. My intention in this book is to make this transition smoother by discussing simple examples before introducing general principles and by restricting the mathematical level to topics that can be treated using ordinary differential equations rather than PDEs.
Two cases about using 3D LBM code
Example 1: using LBM predicting rock physics propertiy under ultra-high temper and pressure condition
Example 2: using LBM analyze mantle convection
Inelastic hosts as electrodes for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries
Silicon can host a large amount of lithium, making it a promising electrode for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. Upon absorbing lithium, silicon swells several times its volume; the deformation often induces large stresses and pulverizes silicon.
IOSO Optimization for Turbomachinery new Video Tutorials
Hello,
We would like to offer you step by step Video Tutorials of IOSO Optimization coupled with Concepts NREC and NUMECA software:
1) http://vimeo.com/16668245 by this we show how easily you can use direct integration capabilities between IOSO and Concepts NREC software to solve optimization tasks in turbomachinery
2) http://vimeo.com/16805244 here we consider IOSO – NUMECA coupled solution on the example of an optimization case study for turbomachinery
Looking for a postdoctoral position in the field of (solid) computational mechanics
Hello,
My name is Nguyen Vinh Phu, a PhD student at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. I have been working with Prof. Bert Sluys on a project named "Coarse graining of failure in heterogeneous solids" since July 2007. I am finishing my work and therefore seeking for a postdoctoral position starting after July 2011.
My expertise in computational solid mechanics includes
(1) Finite elements, extended finite elements and meshless methods.
Regarding Interlaminar stress
Hi I am working on the project which deal with approximation of interlaminar stress using Ansys software . So can anyone suggest me how we can find the inter laminar stress in laminated composite under transverse loading
