EMI 2018, the 2018 conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE will be held on May 29-June 1, 2018 at M.I.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The conference is organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
We are looking for a highly motivated research scientist to work in the area of applied mechanics and materials at A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) in Singapore. The topic is on soft active materials and soft robots. You are expected to work on theoretical modeling and numerical implementation of finite element procedures.

The Finite Difference (FD) and the Spectral Boundary Integral (SBI) methods have been used extensively to model spontaneously propagating shear cracks in a variety of engineering and geophysical applications. In this paper, we propose a new modeling approach, in which these two methods are combined through consistent exchange of boundary tractions and displacements. Benefiting from the flexibility of FD and the efficiency of spectral boundary integral methods, the proposed hybrid scheme will solve a wide range of problems in a computationally efficient way.
A Postdoctoral position is available starting September 2017, in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. The focus of the research is on additive manufacturing and characterization of nanostructured metals.
Required expertise include:
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science or related fields.
- Hands on experience with TEM, SEM and XRD
- Strong knowledge on processing, microstructure and properties of nanostructured metals.
Hi, dear all!
I am using arbitrary lagrangian-eulerian (ALE) in LS-DYNA for a fluid-structure interaction case. From the ALE application view, the ALE meshes have to be assigned to move in a specific manner (e.g. automatic mesh motion following mass weighted average velocity in ALE mesh) together with the material (fluid) flow within the mesh. I wonder if, from the post-processing view, there is any method that can derive the fluid flow velocity.
Any discussion/ suggestion are highly appreciated!
Best regards!
A position of postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Materials Group at the University of Virginia is available as a result of a new collaborative project aimed at the development of advanced methods of carbon fibers fabrication from organic precursors. The postdoctoral researcher will join a multi-disciplinary research team working on optimization of atomic structure of carbon fibers through targeted experiments and multiscale modeling of chemical reactions and structural rearrangements occurring at different stages of the carbon fiber fabrication.
Research assistantships are available for students interested in pursuing Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering. The graduate students will join the Computational Materials Group and work on the development and application of various computational techniques (atomistic, continuum, mesoscopic) to research problems in general areas of laser – materials interactions, acoustic activation of surface processes, and investigation of properties of nanostructured materials.
Two PhD positions on the MODELING AND SIMULATIONS OF FLOWS IN POLYELECTROLYTE-BRUSH-GRAFTED NANOCHANNELS are available immediately in SMIEL (Soft Matter Interfaces and Energy Laboratory) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland. One of the selected students will be working with Prof. Siddhartha Das (Webpage: www.smiel.umd.edu) and the other student will work jointly with Prof. Siddhartha Das and Prof.
