C++

I have a few positions (funded by NSF, AFRL, and/or ARO) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) in the following two topics:

1. Elastodynamic metamaterials: Characterization of dispersive constitutive equations and simulation of the material with overall properties in the time domain (TD), analysis of the effect of disorder and material nonlinearities (e.g. fracture) in their performance, etc.

Requisition Title:Senior Modeling Scientist Job Number::

I am currently looking to hire a postdoc to work on DEM modeling of dynamic problems and impact events. The ideal candidate will have strong programming skills (C++/Python) and existing experience with open source software and GUI development. Full details may be found at this link. The announcement lists a start date of September 1, but this is flexible.

This paper summarizes the development of an object-oriented C++ library for the virtual element method (VEM) named Veamy, whose modular design is focused on its extensibility. The two-dimensional linear elastostatic problem has been chosen as the starting stage for the development of this library. In contrast to the standard finite element method, the VEM in two dimensions uses polygonal finite element meshes.

IMATI-CNR and the Mathematics Department of the University of Pavia offer a postdoc position on isogeometric analysis. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of innovative isogeometric methods for solid/fluid mechanics.  In particular the target applications are related to

- nearly-incompressible and fibered materials

- fluids in geological formations

This research project is partially supported by the private sector, and is supervised by Annalisa Buffa and Giancarlo Sangalli.

A post-doc position is offered at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes France.

Ideally, this post of mine should carry a poll, but I guess as an ordinary user, I cannot insert one.

Currently, I am writing a small software program that is especially designed to help learn FEM. For instance, I will be providing detailed listings for every intermediate step, e.g. all those [D], [B], [k], etc. matrices for each element, as well as the final assembled global system {F} = [K]{d} and its solution separately at each Gauss point. Only linear static problems for the time being; will add transients/eigenvalue problems in near future.

Post doctoral associate or post-graduate researcher position is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Catholic University of America ,Washington, DC. The candidate should be proficient in C++ programming and OOP concepts and preferably (but not necessarily) GIS applications. PhD degree is not necessary. The project involves developing an agent-based fish life cycle model for San Francisco Bay and Delta.

Global Strategies Group is looking for a Scientific Programmer to design, develop and implement software environment/components for geometry representation and mesh generation in support of computational mechanics applications

Significant software development/programming activity is expected.

Qualifications:

===============

Masters or PhD in Engineering or Computer Science

Background and experience:

I'm leaving the US in a couple of days and will probably take a hiatus of a few months from iMechanica.  Before I leave, I want to tell you about a C++ idiom that eases the implementation and use of multiple material models in a computational mechanics code.
