The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University invites applications from outstanding individuals for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the broad disciplinary area of dynamics.
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), invites applications and nominations for a faculty position, at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of structural engineering. Salary is nationally competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Review of applications will begin soon after their receipt and will continue until the position is filled. Topics of specialization will be broadly considered across the structural engineering discipline.
Dear Colleagues
I would like to make you aware of a computational solid mechanics minisymposium being organized for the 2015 EMI conference at Stanford University, June 16-19, 2015: http://www.emi2015.info/minisymposia/symposia#MS41.
Many top mechanicians and material scientists have published in JAM in 2014, such as
January issue: R.M. Christensen;
February issue: J.D. Embury; Z.P. Bazant; and Huajian Gao;
April issue: J.D. Achenbach;
May issue: P.D. Spanos;
June issue: E.H. Dowell;
July issue: V. Tvergaard and J.W. Hutchinson;
August issue: R.M. Christensen;
October issue: D.R. Clarke; and Z.P. Bazant;
November issue: R.M. Christensen; L.B. Freund; Zhigang Suo; and J.A. Rogers
Professor Mary Boyce (Columbia University) has been selected to receive the 2015 Engineering Science Medal from the Society of Engineering Sciences (SES); Professor Huajian Gao (Brown University) will receive the Prager Medal; Prof. Gary Leal (UCSB) will receive the Taylor Medal; and Professor Liping Liu (Rutgers University) will receive the Young Investigator Medal.

Abstract
A tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level is available in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) in the area of structural and/or geomechanical behavior across materials and time and length scales.
Hi there,
I am running into a problem where for a simple, 2D, axisymmetric, single element problem, I get a "singular" matrix for my stress. Consequently my force equilibrium equations cannot be solved for the displacements at the nodes.
The principle stresses for the axisymmetric case are as usual, a 4x1 matrix sigma given as:
[sig1, sig2, tao, sig3]^T and obtained as:
[sigma]=[D][S][B3][u]
(my problem is that [D][S][B3] a 4x8 matrix for a four node axisymmetric element always comes out singular for the first load increment)
Hi there.
I am new to Abaqus. I am doing a research on powder compaction process but i required to insert iron powder properties into Abaqus. what do to simulate the process?
Please help out. Thank you.
