Postdoc or Ph.D. position for development of offshore plant substructures at Korea University, Korea



Structural Engineering & Mechanics Laboratory at the School of Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering, Korea University, Korea, has open positions for a Ph.D. student (four years) and a post-doctoral researcher (three years) to pursue research on development of offshore plant substructures funded by Korean government. The position is to commence in August or September 1, 2014.



Requirements

Educational iPad app on structural mechanics

Submitted by Julian J. Rimoli on
I would like to share with fellow mechanicians an educational iPad app I recently developed. The name of the app is Truss Me! and the main goal is to help students, all the way from high school to college, to build intuition on how truss structures behave. The video below highlights some features of the app:
 
The app utilizes state of the art simulation techniques to provide the most realistic behavior for the structures.

Special Issue on 'Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams' freely available online!

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Solids and Structures includes sixteen articles presented at the international symposium: Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams. The symposium was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (http://www.iutam.net) and was held at the University of Texas at Austin in May 8-13, 2011. The papers deal with various aspects of mechanical behavior of cellular materials and foams in particular, and represent the state of the art in the field.
