Hi dear members

I am a student doing my Masters in Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen and am interested in Structural mechanics. I have done a basic course on mechanics of composite materials and am decently conversant with mechanics of composite laminae. However I am asked to do this mini project where in I am asked to search for a Material model on LS Dyna which is suitable for simulating the crash loading on a 3D braided carbon FRP. 

Please see the job-announcement attached, for a better format.
PhD or Postdoc position
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) is a new research centre at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. At ICAMS an interdisciplinary team of scientists from engineering, materials science, chemistry, physics and mathematics is working on the development and application of a new generation of simulation tools for multi-scale materials modelling.

Hi everyone,

 

 I'm searching some solution to absorb vibration. I'm trying to find materials and their properties to compare between them and chose one to design a vibration damper. Their application will be on the base of an avionics enclosure wich is onboard of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of interfacial mechanics of soft materials at Rutgers University working under the supervision of Prof. Cuitino. The position is supported by the National Science Foundation and industrial partners of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (http://ercforsops.org/).

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Energy Resources Recovery & Management Department invites applications for one, or possibly two, post-doctoral research positions in the area of numerical simulations of coupled thermal-hydro-geomechanical processes in geothermal reservoirs. The position(s) will be available in October 2009 and will be renewable for up to 3 years. An earlier start is possible, depending on project development.
