computational mechanics

Nowadays, there is an increasing interest to use composite materials in automotive applications, in particular the use of fibre-reinforced plastics (carbon or glass fibres in a polymer matrix) is widely considered. The use of lighter materials, and hence a reduced fuel consumption, can be one of the possible solutions for reduced CO2 emissions.

Dear iMechanicians, 

I have a PhD Studentship available for UK settled status residents.

Dear colleagues,

Τhe Greek Association of Computational Mechanics (GRACM) in association with the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Departments of the University of Thessaly will organize the 8th GRACM conference in a series of congresses in the area of computational mechanics. The conference will be held between the 12th and 15th of July 2015 in the facilities of the University of Thessaly in Volos which is the host city of most of its academic departments.

A new post-doc position (1 year renewable up to 3 years, till the end of the ERC Starting Grant Project CA2PVM, http://musam.imtlucca.it/CA2PVM.html ) is open in the Research Unit MUSAM - Multi-scale Analysis of Materials ( http://musam.imtlucca.it ) directed by Prof.

The 2014 Nathan M. Newmark Medal was awarded to Professor Herbert A. Mang at the annual ASCE Structures Conference, which took place in Boston, April 3–5, 2014. Professor Mang was awarded the Newmark Medal for his outstanding research contributions in the area of nonlinear continuum and computational mechanics that clarified the cause of collapse of important concrete structures and quantified the influence of the initial post buckling behavior of metallic structures.

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in computational damage mechanics is
available immediately at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu
Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Masdar Institute is established in collaboration
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research project focuses on
using advanced computational fracture and damage mechanics for simulating the
behavior of advanced materials under different loading and environmental
conditions. The candidate is expected to have a PhD in the field of Mechanical,
Civil, or Aerospace Engineering with solid knowledge of theoretical/computational
solid mechanics; continuum damage mechanics, fracture mechanics,

The abstract submission for the 24th International Workshop on
Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM 24) in Madrid, Spain, on
October 1st-3rd, 2014 is now opened. The deadline for abstract
submission is June 15th, 2014.

The workshop is intended to cover all aspects of modeling and
simulations of the mechanical behavior at different length and time
scales. The materials of interest range from traditional materials such
as metals, alloys, polymers and composites to advanced and emerging
materials and bio-materials.

As part of the 51st Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2014) to be held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, on October 1-3 2014, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the Symposium “Issues in computational modeling of damage, fracture and fragmentation of solid materials”.

The project addresses tissue modeling for the pharynx region and is a part of a larger project addressing the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (mechanical, fsi, medical angles). See www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/101325/phd-positions-in-soft... for further info. Deadline is 15 May.Expected start-up is summer 2014.

Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in Computational Mechanics

Dear All,

We are planning to offer a PhD position in the area of peridynamics. For more information about our PMMA research group, please visit

http://personal.strath.ac.uk/erkan.oterkus/ 

If you are interested, please send your current CV to oterkus@gmail.com.
This offer is only valid for citizens of European Union countries.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Erkan.

As a close collaborator and active member of Global Engineering and Materials, Inc (GEM), I would like to present you a research and development position at GEM. The information below can also be found in the attached PDF file.   

We are offering the PhD studentship at the
University of Surrey, and we are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates.

This project focuses on applications of metallic foams where structural functionality is combined with energy absorption, damping, heat insulation, and noise silencing.

The postdoc position is mainly focused on
development of advanced computational models of microstructure evolution
in metallic materials, with particular focus on recrystallization and
related phenomena. Some experimental activities may also be part of the
work.

The employment is for one year with a possible extension to two years.

A more detailed job description and procedures for
application can be found here .

Dear colleague,

The University of Talca and the Chilean Society of Computational Mechanics invite professionals, academics, researchers and students to the XIII Jornadas de Mecánica Computacional (XIII Congress of Computational Mechanics), to be held on October 2-3, 2014 at the University of Talca, campus Curicó, Chile.

The call for abstracts closes on June 6th. More details about submission and registration are available on www.jmc2014.utalca.cl.
