Postdoctoral position in nanomechanics of 2D nanomaterials
The School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to develop computational models of ultra-flexible 2D nanomaterials in sheared liquids, using techniques borrowed from computational fluid and solid mechanics.
Scientific assistant – Material characterization and modelling
With around 8,200 students, Brandenburg Technical University (BTU) Cottbus-Senftenberg is the second largest and the only technical university in the federal state of Brandenburg. It is a research-oriented technical university that offers excellent research opportunities. In the Chair of Mechanical Design and Manufacturing of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, we are looking for a candidate as
Scientific assistant (m/w)
for a fixed term contract with a possibility of obtaining a doctoral degree.
Yihui Zhang will receive the 2017 Journal of Applied Mechanics Award
The Journal of Applied Mechanics Award is provided by the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to honor the best paper which has been published in the Journal of Applied Mechanics during the two calendar years immediately preceding the year of the award. The award will be made annually to the corresponding author of the paper who received their Ph.D. no more than 10 years prior to July 1 of the year of award. Corresponding authors who have yet to receive a Ph.D. may also be considered.

Google Maps/Earth Computer Graphics Algorithms for Model Reduction in Mechanics of Materials
We present an innovative image-based modeling technique, based on Google Earth like algorithms, to effectively resolve intricate material morphology and address the computational complexity associated with heterogeneous materials. This sharp volumetric billboard algorithm stems from a volumetric billboard method, a multi-resolution modeling strategy in computer graphics. In this work, we enhance volumetric billboards through a sharpening filter to reconstruct the statistical information of heterogeneous systems.

Arc Length Continuation method fails at low arc length values.
I have implemented a Arc length continuation method for material non-linearity. The program quits with low arc length values while it progresses well for high arc length values. I am attaching a png image for your understating about the nature of the force deformation curve. Can you please clarify me about the problem and provide me any suggestions on it.
Thanks in advance.
