We are running free workshops on using Simpleware for 3D image visualisation, analyis and model generation. Join us in Guildford and Farnborough, UK to learn about getting the most out of our software for 3D image-based modelling.
The workshops are free but pre-registration is required as places are limited.
Wednesday Oct 19 2016: Introduction to 3D image visualisation, analysis and model generation with Simpleware
Description
(1) Computational mechanics and multiphysics modelling of relevant areas, including the soft matter, 3D printing, fuel cell, bio-fluid and cell in microfluidics
(2) Supervision of undergraduate/postgraduate students
Job requirements
1) PhD degree in Mechanical/Material Engineering or related fields
(2) Strong background in computational physics and solid/fluid mechanics

One postdoctoral fellow position in solid mechanics/biomechanics at Dartmouth is immediately available in the Chen group at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth (http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/people/faculty/zi-chen/). The subjects of research include, but are not limited to, cancer cell migration and mechanics of morphogenesis in embryos or plants.
As an example, here we discuss implant-associated infection from the mechanics point of view on bacteria adhesion affected by the biomaterial surface roughness:
1. Implant-associated infection, a leading cause of failure in many biomedical devices, is caused by adhesion of bacteria to the surface of biomaterials. Implant-associated infection is difficult to treat, for example, joint replacement infections may occur deep around the artificial implants.
I have received a message from Dr. Thomas Michelitsch, French National Center for Scientific Research, that Gerard Maugin passed away on September 22, 2016. Professor Maugin was a great man, a great researcher in continuum mechanics and applied mathematics. His untimely death is a momentous loss for the entire Applied Mechanics Community.
The relationship between the strains and stresses will be considered based on the premise that for every increment of load deformation occurs, consisting of two parts - the elastic and plastic
The program of calculation by finite element method. Basis of its program described in the work [Siratori, T. Miesi, and Kh. Matsushita,Numerical Mechanics of Fracture], which has implemented the theory of plastic flow and deformation theory. The plastic problem is solved by the incremental method of loading, with each increment of load shifted one element to the plastic zone.
Call for abstracts for the symposium on Martensitic Transformations in Non-Metallic Materials in the International Conference on Martensitic Transformations (ICOMAT) 2017.
Dear Colleagues, We wanted to bring to your attention that the the deadline for nominations of the 2016 AMD/ASME Awards has been extended to October 15, 2016. Please find more details below.
Warm Regards, Executive Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division
