computational mechanics

The deadline to submit an abstract to the 12th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics , to be held in Raleigh this summer, has been extended to February 28, 2013.  Those interested in participating in the Congress should submit their abstracts as soon as possible as we do not plan to extend the deadline again.  Students and postdoctoral fellows should note that there are travel awards  available for the Congress.

Applications are invited for the position of
Post‐doctoral Research
Fellow as part of a joint research project between Masdar Institute of Science
& Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Details of the position are given in the attachement.

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation Group at the Masdar Institute (MI) is seeking suitably qualified candidates for PhD positions (Fall 2013). Refer to attached documents for futher information.

It is our pleasure to inform you about the Third African Conference on Computational Mechanics, which will take place in Livingstone, Zambia between 30 July and 2 August 2013. The conference is held under the auspices of the IACM, ECCOMAS, and SAAM. Please refer to www.africomp.com for further details.

We cordially invite you to participate in at the 3rd African Conference on Computational Mechanics - An International Conference – AfriCOMP13 (July 30 – August 2, 2013, Livingston, Zambia) by giving a talk in our minisymposium "Computational modeling of nano- and microstructured materials".

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS 

There is an immediate opening for a graduate research assistant for the coming Spring 2013 semester (or starting immediately as the case may be) with Dr. Unnikrishnan, in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at The University of Alabama. (http://aem.eng.ua.edu/)

New Technologies - Research Centre at the University of West Bohemia
(Czech Republic) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the
field of FE software development. Highly motivated individuals holding a
PhD in applied mathematics or mechanics, numerical analysis and
programming or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.

Our Mechanics of Materials Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, in association with Materials innovation institute M2i, has two openings for talented PhD students in the field of multiscale mechanics of materials. They are part of a project on multiscale hygro-mechanics of paper. The industrial background of the project is in inkjet-printing. One opening is on experimental characterisation and the other on multiscale computational modelling.
For exceptionally suited young doctors we may consider changing the positions into PostDoc positions.

Description

New Technologies Research centre at the University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in the field of Computacional Mechanics of Materials. Highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in Mechanics, Materials Science or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.

The deadline for minisymposium proposals for the 12th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM12) has been extended to September 30, 2012.  

The Congress will be held July 22-25, 2013 in Raleigh, NC and proposals are solicited from people interested in organizing sessions in their area of expertise or interest and/or wishing to honor a particular individual for their sustained contributions or a special honorary birthday celebration.  

A postdoctoral/research associate position is available in the area of computational modeling of granular materials at Rutgers University working under the supervision of Prof. Cuitino. Candidates with a strong background in computational mechanics of solids, interfacial mechanics, granular materials and computational methods are highly encouraged to apply.

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

Our group at North Carolina State University is hiring PhD students and Post-doctoral Associates in the areas of multiscale modeling, computational mechanics, fracture, and plasticity.

Interested parties should email  zikry@ncsu.edu, and send a cv with a few representative publications.

MA Zikry 

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.
