华中科技大学 力学 学科 诚聘优秀青年教师和博士后

Submitted by C Amss on

一、力学学科简介

华中科技大学是国家教育部直属的全国重点大学,是首批列入国家“211工程”、“985工程”和双一流建设的高校之一。学校1960年设立工程力学系,2000年成立土木工程与力学学院。

经过近60年的发展,力学系教学和科研实力雄厚,现拥有工程力学国家级特色专业、工程力学国家级教学团队、力学一级学科博士学位授予权、力学博士后科研流动站、湖北省(科研)重点实验室、湖北省力学实验教学示范中心、极端环境力学中心等教学与科研平台。承办了权威学术期刊《固体力学学报》(中文版)和《Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica》(英文版、SCI收录源刊)。迄今,力学系已培养出包括中央候补委员、中科院院士、澳大利亚院士等在内的一大批杰出的力学人才。

为满足教学和科研发展需要,力学学科现面向海内外公开招聘各类优秀青年人才(教师或博士后)。

二、招聘专业方向

流体力学、固体力学、动力学与控制、工程力学、计算力学、实验力学、交叉方向力学等。

三、招聘岗位及条件

About Mechanics-Materials and Dentistry of dental implants

Submitted by D.Rittel on

Dental implants are increasingly being placed for edentulous patients worldwide. While the clinical aspects of the implants are extensively investigated, engineering considerations of the implant as a functional structure subjected to ill-defined boundary conditions are less considered. A recent trend is to consider all ceramic implants as an alternative to the classical titanium-based implants.

Work-Energy principle: Doubt regarding zero initial velocity assumption

Submitted by Jayadeep U. B. on

I have a basic doubt from engineering mechanics. We have the work-energy principle stating that the work done by the forces acting on a partile is equal to the change in kinetic energy of that particle. However, the kinetic energy is a qudratic function of the velocity of the particle, and hence the change in kinetic energy for a given change in the velocity would depend on the initial velocity of the particle, before the work is done by the forces acting on it.
