The School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, Ningbo University, is looking for cadidates for all subjects in the broad field of mechanical engineering and mechanics.  In addition to traditional field of impact and shock waves, piezoelectric devices, material durability, and metal forming, the school are also initiating new directions like vechicle engineering, fluid mechanics, occean engineering, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations, strength, and other related subjects.

Biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue

Preventing bone deterioration is a critical aspect of combating osteoporosis, improving bone implants, and even making long-term space flight possible, such as voyages to Mars and beyond. On April 9, noted biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue, transport that has a direct bearing on the prevention of bone loss.

Hi all,

1. In the past, we have had quite some discussion regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.

The Chair of Material and Process Simulation at the University of Bayreuth is inviting applicants for a post-doctoral position available within the project "Microstructure simulations for a systematic mechanism-based development of thermo-shock resistant materials with reduced carbon amount", which is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) for a period of eight months – with the prospect of prolongation for further two years.

The Chair of Material and Process Simulation at the University of Bayreuth is inviting applicants for a post-doctoral position available within the project "Mechanisms of graphite dispersion in Fe-C-Si alloys", which is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) for a period of three years.

The chair of Material- and Process Simulation at the University of Bayreuth is inviting applicants for a PhD position available within the project “Multi-scale modelling for further understanding of the faceting and the orientation-dependent growth of Aluminium nitride bulk crystals in the gas phase” (AIN-Multi-scale modelling) funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungs-gemeinschaft) for a period of three years.

The chair of Material- and Process Simulations at the University of Bayreuth is inviting applicants for a PhD position available within the project “Heterogeneous nucleation and microstructure formation in eritectic alloy systems” funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungs-gemeinschaft) for a period of one year – with the prospect of prolongation for further two years.

A PhD scholarship is available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts, with focus on computational stress and damage modelling. The department has well-established research activities in this field. The present scholarship is partly funded by the Danish Centre for Knowledge based Engineering for Improved Reliability of Critical Wind turbine Components (REWIND)  supported by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation.

Two PhD scholarships are available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts. One has focus on computational stress and damage modeling, while the other has focus on elastohydrodynamic lubricant film modelling and experimental verification.

The Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Ningbo University, China, has multiple openings in Solid Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics for experienced and junior applicants.

The Department has been supported by Zhejiang Province under Center for Excellence program for broad subjects related to Engineering Mechanics research and education.  We also have special funds for the enhancement of the Fluid Mechanics program.

More details on the current research and education program  of the Department can be found at http://mech.nbu.edu.cn.

Applicants and inquiries should be addressed to

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming NAFEMS North American 2008 Regional Summit: NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation. This is an excellent opportunity for academic researchers, industrial practitioners and software developers to meet for mutual benefit.

For those of who you not familiar with NAFEMS, it is a non-profit, vendor neutral, engineering analyis community.
