Postdoctoral position is available at the Mechanics of Soft Materials Lab, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Candidates should have strong background in nonlinear solid mechanics and experinece in modeling of soft (active) materials. The position is available immediately. Highly motivated candidates should send their CV including a list of 3 references to Dr. Rudykh at rudykh [at] technion.ac.il
The 2016 Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme launches in October 2015 and seeks to fund early-stage postdoctoral researchers across all disciplines for up to 2 years. I am seeking potential postdoctoral candidates that would be willing to apply for funding under this scheme, which, if successful, would allow them to carry out research in the area of Multiscale Mechanics of Biological Tissues in the Biomechanics Research Centre at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
The Blast Impact and Survivability Research Unit (BISRU) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cape Town, is seeking candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. The candidate would conduct research in the area of failure of fibre reinforced polymers and sandwich panels under extreme loading (blast and or impact), with a focus on erosion / pulverisation of the FRP face sheets. Candidates must have completed a PhD or be able to show evidence of submission.

Three graduate student positions are available at Polytechnique Montréal in the field of fire resistance of composite materials. The use of materials based on lightweight composite and aluminum, although common in other parts of the aircraft, remains a challenge around the engines because of the fire resistance prescribed by certification requirements. The present project focuses on the use of such materials for the manufacturing of fan cases and bypass ducts for turbofan aircraft engines.
This paper proposes a simple extension to a collocation based composite time integration proposed by Silva and Bezerra. In this scheme, each time step is divided further into two substeps which may not be necessarily equal. In the first substep, the Newmark scheme is employed an d the three point backward Euler scheme is used in the second substep. The proposed scheme is applied to non-linear problems to study the transient response solution under large deformations and long time durations.

In the first substep, the Newmark scheme is employed and the three point backward Euler scheme is used in the second substep. Stability analysis of the scheme is performed and spectral radius, period elongation, and amplitude decay are discussed. The influence of Newmark parameters and substep sizes on stability and accuracy is studied in detail.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 2016 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. We will consider exceptional candidates in all areas related to Civil and Environmental Engineering. Further information about the department can be found at http://cee.mit.edu/about-mit-cee.
