Fundamentals of Simpleware Training, Reading, UK, Feb 6th
This one-day intensive training course intends to give new and existing users sufficient knowledge of the basic functionality of Simpleware software for converting 3D image data (MRI, CT...) into mdoels for CAD, CAE, and 3D Prrinting applications. It will allow you to develop workflows based your areas of research and future projects.
Learn more about this training day.
Tossing your Smartphone
If you are teaching a course on vehicle dynamics, navigation, robotics, or rotations you might be interested in exploiting the fact that your students' smartphones are equipped with inertial navigation units (IMUs). Daniel Kawano and Prithvi Akella have harnessed the data from the IMU using the Matlab mobile app and used this data to determine the motion of a smart phone:

Two new PhD positions in bioinspired architectured materials and structures, McGill University
We have new openings for two PhD students –fully funded - in the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at McGill University, starting Fall 2018 (Application deadline: 01/15/2018)
PhD Position on the Mechanical Properties of DNA Nanostructures
Applications are invited for a PhD position at Johns Hopkins University (beginning Fall 2018) on a collaborative project between the labs of Extreme Mechanics of Architected Materials (Prof. Stavros Gaitanaros) and Mechanochemistry And Functional Imaging Applications (Prof. Yun Chen) at Johns Hopkins University.
The project will focus on the combination of multi-scale modeling and experiments in order to examine the mechanical behavior of DNA origami nanostructures.
Strong background in Mathematics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Vibrations and Control
Hi
I have B.Sc from Sharif University of Technology, Iran and M.S. from Northeastern University in Boston, US, both in Mechanical Engineering.
I have a strong background in Mathematics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Vibrations and Control, and some years of related experience in these fields. Furthermore, I do have a great deal of the programming skills and computational methods with an extensive computer software knowledge. I am also interested in working on Vehicle Control, Robotics, Tribology (friction and surface sliding) and Vibrations.
Ashby PhD Scholarship in the Mechanics of Materials
A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of Mechanics of Materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.
Further details may be obtained from Ms Hambro-Fernandez (Div-C [at] eng.cam.ac.uk (Div-C[at]eng[dot]cam[dot]ac[dot]uk))
