Modal Analysis
I have a model (ball) and would like to get the its eigen frequencies and eigen vectors (modal analysis), in fact i should not need to apply loads, it is just solution to K-w^2 M = 0, how can it be done

A new book chapter of the role of the actin cytoskeleton in mechanosensation
We wrote a book chapter about the role of the actin cytoskeleton in mechanosensation. The book title is Mechanosensitivity and Mechanotransduction, edited by A, Kamkin and I. Kiseleva and published by Springer-Verlag, New York.".
In this chapter, we try to integrate mechanics, materials science, biophysics and biology together to give a most updated view of this field. We also want to introduce the feedback loop concept to mechanicians who are interested in studying biological systems.
Molecular dynamic simulation on Projectile
Hi, everyone~
Has anyone done MD simulation about projectile? Like a rigid body penetrating a thin target? I have recently heard that a group in Uni of southern california did such a simulation before. I will be appreciated if someone could afford me some information.
Thanks in advance.

Faculty Positions in Computational Multiscale methods at University Paris-Est, France
The University Paris-Est Marne la Vallée, France, invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in multiscale computational mechanics, as assistant professor level, for September 2010 start date. The candidates will be hosted by the Laboratory of Multiscale Computational Mechanics (Laboratoire Modélisation et Simulation Multi Echelle, MSME UMR 8208 CNRS). Successful candidates are expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and carry out a research program with potential collaborations at the European and International level.
Study Case of Crack Pipe
I want to try analyze cracked pipe based on API 579 fro my study. Is there anyone who have study case about cracked Pipe? Please send it to my email elang259 [at] yahoo.com
Crack Analyze Using Analysis Based On API 579 Crack Like Flaws
I'm doing final project in the area for Crack Like Flaws based API 579. I'm having trouble with level 3 Assessment Procedure and should using ANSYS to solve problem. Is there anyone who have complete step by step procedure in Crack analysis using ANSYS based API 579 for level 3 ?
Promotion at random is better! Tenure makes you more "incompetent" -- Peter's principle proved by two italian scientists!
If you are upset about promotion system, look at what two italian friends proved recently, which was immediately popular before the paper publication, also because they proved random promotion is more efficient!
Post-Doc Scientist Position in Experimental Mechanics at Columbia University Starting in February 2010
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSITANT – HYBRID SOLAR PANEL The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University seeks applications for a position as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. A Postdoctoral Research Assistant is a junior level research position and works under the supervision of a faculty member in the department. As a postdoctoral research assistant the incumbent will work to further the research of the laboratory, and occasionally may be asked to supervise student projects related to the research and other topics within the scope of the group.
