The Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University has faculty openings in each of the following areas: Mechanics of Materials, Structures, and Systems Engineering. Full details are available through the following links:
Our paper in the new journal Extreme Mechanics Letter has come online: An elastomeric seal may leak by elastic deformation without any material damage. We describe elastic leak using a theoretical model, and watch a seal deform and leak using a transparent experimental setup. The elastomer seals the fluid by forming contact with surrounding hard materials. As the fluid pressure increases, the contact stress also increases but not as much.
Our paper has appeared in EML (Extreme Mechanics Letters) and can be downloaded. Using strong fibers to reinforce a hydrogel is highly desirable but difficult. Such a composite would combine the attributes of a solid that provides strength and a liquid that transports matter. Most hydrogels, however, are brittle, allowing the fibers to cut through the hydrogel when the composite is loaded. Here we circumvent this problem by using a recently developed tough hydrogel.
The TMS Young Professionals Committee is organizing a "Meet the Candidate Poster Session" in conjunction with the general poster session of TMS 2015. This event is designed to create networking opportunities for young professionals and hopefully help them discover prospects for future employment. The deadline for abstract submission is extended to December 15, 2014. http://www.programmaster.org/TMS2015
The Meet the Candidate Poster Session will provide the opportunity for
8am-9am GMT or 5pm-6pm GMT

The latest release of Simpleware’s 3D image processing and model generation software includes new features designed to enhance visualisation, analysis and segmentation of 3D image data. Features include a particles analyser, centreline tools and new physics modules for calculating effective material properties using homogenisation techniques.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University (Canada).
Professor Wei Lu received the 2014 Gustus L. Larson Memorial Award. This award was presented to Dr. Lu by the president of ASME, jointly with the president of Pi Tau Sigma, during the 2014 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition.
We're delighted to announce the Version 7.0 release of our 3D image processing, analysis and model generation software. The release comes with a wide range of new features including:
New Animations - generate animations from within the ScanIP interface - explore your data and create videos to communicate work to colleagues, with options for 'fly-throughs' available.
Hello,
I have asked for history output at every increment (n=1). However, as the analysis is running, the results are not shown for the the last couple of increments. In other words, the results are a couple of increments behind. Could you please advise how I can see the result for the latest increment while Abaqus is still running?
Cheers,
Cyrus
Hello,
Does anybody have any idea of how much cost effective it whould be if I run two analyses using parallel execution instead of running those individually?
Regards,
Cyrus
