Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a postdoc in mechanics of granular materials.

I’m currently a postdoc at INRIA Grenoble, France (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). My principal research interests focus on granular materials. They include (1) computational mechanics, (2) numerical modeling and simulation with DEM, (3) multi-scale approach and homogenization technique and (4) shock dynamics and nonlinear wave propagation. Here are my three principal publications:

FEM versus FFT

Dear all,

In micomechanics, homogenization of heterogeneous
materials based on FEM is traditional. Homogenization based on FFT technique has been recently found (in many literatures) to have much more advantages
in term of accuracy, computational cost and resource consumption.

I am wondering why FEMs are still
widely used in education, research, and industries of
generally
computational
mechanics ?

Please could anyone help me to clarify
my question?

Thanks

There is an immediate opening for a Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T - formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). The Metallurgical Engineering program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected in the U.S. (http://mse.mst.edu).

The Ph.D. research project is about developing a coupled phase-field crystal plasticity model for predicting stress-strain-microstructures relations during deformation.
