Two openings for Ph.D. student positions in Computational Mechanics/Materials Physics
At the department of Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D student positions starting immediately in the general area of Computational Mechanics/Materials Physics. The material systems that we are interested in—for example, graphene, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots—are relevant for nanotechnology and energy applications. The current research topics are multidisciplinary in nature, with underlying principles drawn from Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics.
J. Mechanical Behavior Biomedical Materials - first impact factor of 3.176!
I'm pleased to announce that the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials (JMBBM) has received its first impact factor. For 2009 the impact factor is 3.176*, ranking JMMBM 4th in category Materials Science, Biomaterials and 8th in Engineering, Biomedical.
Congratulations to the editorial team - a great result reflecting all their contributions since the Journal's inception in 2007 - and sincere thanks to the authors and reviewers who supported the Journal in its first three years!
stiffness matrix for torsional beam
I would like to know how to write a stiffness matrix for a bar under torsional load. I would like to write a code in C++ to do this. I would like to know of any material regarding this.
Thanks in advance

Micro-sphere Model
Hi all,
I am currently working on micro-sphere model like the one used by Miehe, Ihlemann and Pawleski. I wonder if someone know a FEM code who use this type of model.
Thanks a lot
