PhD position on computational mechanics (preferably with solid mechanics focus)

Submitted by rabedi on

Hello,

I have a PhD position available for a project titled " Asynchronous, Parallel-Adaptive Solution of Extreme Multiscale Problems in Seismology" funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The graduate research assistantship (GRA) position is for the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) which is a part of University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK).

This project is conducted in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urabana-Champaign (UIUC). Some of the main components of this project are,

Faculty Opening at GA Tech: Space Habitat Systems

Submitted by arash_yavari on

The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering and the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology are seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of space habitat systems. The position is expected to be a joint appointment between both schools. Multidisciplinary collaboration with related research groups and colleges at Georgia Tech is highly encouraged.

A modeling and resolution framework for wrinkling in hyperelastic sheets at finite membrane strain

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Wrinkles commonly occur in uniaxially stretched rectangular hyperelastic membranes with clamped-clamped boundaries, and can vanish upon excess stretching. Here we develop a modeling and resolution framework to solve this complex instability problem with highly geometric and material nonlinearities. We extend the nonlinear Foppl-von Karman thin plate model to finite membrane strain regime for various compressible and incompressible hyperelastic materials.

Introduction to Simpleware Software Workshop, Madrid, Nov 28th 2018

Submitted by Simpleware on

This workshop is for those interested in 3D image processing. You will experience first-hand how quick and easy it is to visualize 3D image data (CT, MRI, FIB-SEM...), obtain image statistics and carry out segmentation, right through to generate models for CAD design, FE/CFD simulation and 3D printing. If you are working in areas such as Materials Science, Industrial Reverse Engineering and Life Sciences, then this workshop is for you.
