Is machine learning a research priority now in mechanics?
Hi all,
I know that the study and application of machine learning/artificial intelligence are somehow popular nowadays, in a general academia. I happen to be interested in that. I found people use this tool to predict crystal structure in material science, to characterize molecule structure in chemistry. The first impression is that the machanince learning helps to deal with the raw data, to constitute empirical models etc. However, there are not as many published works as I imagine, on the application of machine learning in mechanics.
Is there any way to assign element based surface for 2D shell element??
I am trying to simulate 2D metal cutting simulation using surface to surface contact in dynamic explicit model. But what I am seeing is.. there is no contact between workpiece surface with failed element (i.e. Chips) which reduces the force value during simulation.
In 3D simulation for 3D stress element (C3D8R), I can do element based surface by editing the input file. Is there any such way in 2D shell element (say CPE4R) also? Please help

ADT to showcase TURBOdesign Suite 6.1.0 at the Turbomachinery Pump Symposia 2016
Advanced Design Technology (ADT), a global leader in the development of advanced turbomachinery design methods and the TURBOdesign Suite are delighted to exhibit at the 45th Turbomachinery & 32nd Pump Symposia in Houston, Texas on 12- 15 September 2016. After the recent success of the 12th International Conference on Turbochargers and Turbocharging in London and ASME TURBO EXPO in Seoul, ADT continues its global showcase tour of the latest release of TURBOdesign Suite 6.1.0.
Postdoctoral position in Experimental Mechanics in the Franck Lab at Brown University
There is an opening for a post-doctoral position in Prof. Christian Franck's group (Franck Lab) starting January/February 2017 (exact dates are flexible). The scope of the particular research project entails development of new 2, and 3D soft matter cavitation experiments using high-speed imaging, and digital image (volume) correlation techniques along with image reconstruction (and potentially interferometry) techniques.
Qualifications:
1) Ph.D. in mechanics, or applied physics.

The Position
Postdoctoral Position at Georgia Institute of Technology
There is an opening for a post-doctoral position in Prof. Phanish Suryanarayana’s group starting October/November 2016. The objective of the research project is to develop a new parallel formulation and implementation of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for large-scale calculations, and then apply it to lithium-ion battery anode-electrolyte systems.
