Faculty Research in Solid Mechanics, review starts on 01/07/2008
Dear Fellow Mechanicians:
If you know somebody (including yourself) are looking for faculty jobs, please encourage them to apply to Utah State University. We are filling two tenure-track positions in the broad sense of solid mechanics or thermal science. At least one position for solid mechanics. For details of the job descriptions, please refer to my previous post. You need to apply through the online system at jobs.usu.edu. We will start reviewing the applicants on January 7th, 2008.
Best regards,

On geometric discretization of elasticity
This paper presents a geometric discretization of elasticity when
the ambient space is Euclidean. This theory is built on ideas from
algebraic topology, exterior calculus and the recent developments
of discrete exterior calculus. We first review some geometric
ideas in continuum mechanics and show how constitutive equations
of linearized elasticity, similar to those of electromagnetism,
can be written in terms of a material Hodge star operator. In the
discrete theory presented in this paper, instead of referring to
Non Local Model Vs Implicit Gradient Model
Hi All :
I was wondering why some people prefer to use Non Local Model while some others use Implicit Gradient Model (which can be derived from Non Local Model) .
When implicit Gradient Model is itself derived from Non Local Model ,and its FE implimentation just involves an additional average to be calculated and what is the need to introduce gradient terms ??
Thanks Alot

Ph.D. studentship in smart material at University of Glasgow, UK
A three-year
PhD studentship is available within the Glasgow Research Partnership in
Engineering (GRPE) as part of the Joint Research Institute in Mechanics of
Materials, Structures and Bioengineering at the University of Glasgow.
The
specific goals of the PhD will be to manufacture MREs and determine the
influence of manufacture conditions on the micro-structure and magnetic-sensitivity
of the magnetorheological elastomers (smart material).
Random Vibration
What is meant by wave number?. What is the allowable standard power spectral density for road profiles?
PDEs and complex analysis
To students of AM 105a:
On 26 October 2007, Albert Tsou sent in the following Q & A.
Q: Why did the mathematician name his dog "Cauchy"?
A: Because the dog left a residue at every pole.
As you know, certain sections in Saff and Snider upset me, and I have deviated from the book. We all agree that no text should be held as an authority. But now, both you and I are paying for the deviation.
