Recently, Politecnico di Milano in Italy has attempted to force all teaching at Master level in English. This has been stopped by some academics who went to different levels of administrative courts, and recently there was a prononciation of the Supreme Court. The matter is not settled yet, but you can find an account of this with various links here.

One Ph.D. candidtate position is available in Dr. Wei Zhang's research group at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the University of Connecticut.
The candidate will continue our current research efforts on short fatigue crack growth.
Students with strong backgrounds in solid mechanics, finite element modeling, crystal plasticity, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures are encouraged to apply.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has funded a 2 year project to BITS Pilani (Goa and Hyderabad campuses). The simulation project will model atomistic fracture in amorphous silica, with application to the Thermal Protection System (TPS) of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV).
Details of application are mentioned in the attachment.
Dear colleagues,
These notes are a part of the notes on linear algebra.
In lecture, I have been using this google doc, which contains more tables.
In general we use Johnson-Cook model for bullet, which accounts for strain-rate effects, while for the target (Composites), the we use orthotropic constitutive model. Does it mean that strain-rate effects are not important for composites? The Johnson-Cook model cannot be readily used for composites. How does the AUTODYN considers strain rate effects for composites in ballistic impact simulations?
