Postdoctoral position in mechanical and material engineering

Submitted by gayoub on

My name is Georges Ayoub; I am looking for a postdoctoral research position in mechanical and material engineering in the field of the polymer science, polymer behaviour and fatigue.

I defended my PHD at the beginning of this academic year (2010/2011). I am very motivated to start a Postdoctoral position, at the end of my thesis, in an Anglo-Saxon country.



FSI analysis of a simplified turbine using a sliding mesh

Submitted by Mustafa Taşkın on

Hi all,

I exercised "Prob37: FSI analysis of a simplified turbine using a sliding mesh" ADINA tutorial. I got an error message and the program stopped solving.

The error message:

ERROR CODE ADF2075

-R option cannot be used for adaptive-mesh or sliding mesh. You can use -m -M options.

What are the -R,-m, -M options? How can i solve this problem? 

Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Computational Materials Science

Submitted by guofengwang on

A postdoctoral researcher position is immediately available at the
Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy in Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The researcher will
work on a project on studying the surface segregation phenomena in
alloy nanoparticles using atomistic simulation techniques. This project
involves close collaborations with experimental scientists. The
candidate should hold a doctor degree in a relevant discipline, such as
Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or
Chemical Engineering. The ideal candidate should have a strong
background in atomistic scale simulations (Density Functional Theory,
molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods) and scientific programming

Multiple Post Doctoral Research Positions in Multiscale Modeling @ RPI

Submitted by Suvranu De on

There are multiple postdoctoral positions in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy, NY to work on multiscale modeling projects related to energy and bionanomechanics. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated students with the following qualifications:

1. PhD in Computational /Applied Mechanics/ Materials Science or related topic

2. Sound background in nonlinear mechanics

3. Sound background in FEM and atomistic methods (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo)

Research assistant and postdoc positions immediately available

Submitted by Sulin Zhang on

My research group in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State has two immediate opennings, starting from Spring of 2011.

One position targets graduate assistant, who will be working on computational biomechanics and biophysics. However, highly qualified postdoc may also be considered. 

The other position targets postdoc, who will be working on experimental single-cell mechanics, including nanoparticle-based drug delivery, cell responses to external mechanical stimuli, etc.

Can the transformation matrix of a 3-D beam element have any zeros in its diagonal?

Submitted by Gallardo560 on

Hello,

I am trying to solve the global stiffness matrix for a component assumed to be a series of 3-D beam elements.

Some of the diagonal elements of the transformation matrix are zeros and i eventually end up in finding the inverse of a matrix with some zeros in  its diagonal which is not possible.

Can anyone let me know if the transformation matrix can have zeros along its diagonal?

Thank you.

 

Assistant Professor Position at Penn State University

Submitted by Aman Haque on

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor position in Mechanical Engineering. The position is open for highly-qualified individuals performing research in technical areas that support our multidisciplinary mechanical engineering curriculum. Priority will be given to applicants with strong background or potential in experimental or computational approaches for biomedical systems or components. The ability to merge mechanical engineering (e.g., solid and fluid mechanics, design, acoustics, heat transfer) concepts with biomedical (e.g., bio-mechanics, imaging, implants and prostheses, microdevices) applications is highly desirable.

Mimics®14 enables design on anatomical data

Submitted by Mimics on

Mimics 14 comes with a CAD-like functionality, enabling you to design directly on anatomical data. 

 

Leuven, Belgium, October 4, 2010. Materialise NV, the world leader in software for 3D medical image processing, announces the release of Mimics 14. This release integrates ‘digital’ CAD, allowing fast and accurate design of e.g. implants and surgical guides, starting from a patient’s CT or MRI data.
