biomechanics
ICoBT 2011 - Call for paper - deadline 15 April 2011
3 weeks left to submit your abstract for the International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2011).
The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).
For mor information or to submit your abstract, please go to www.biotribologyconference.com
PhD studentship, In vivo measurement of strains in intervertebral discs
I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).
Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)
Learn Engineering on Anatomy in an Innovation Course
At least 25 Innovation Courses will be organized all over the world by Materialise.
The Innovation Course is an accessible, 2-day, hands-on training in the Mimics Innovation Suite in which you start with medical image data, create accurate 3D models and learn to; e.g. do 3D measurements and analyses, prepare for FEA and design patient-specific implants.
Join us at a location of your choice to see how powerful, yet how easy it can be to preform engineering operations on anatomical data.
Looking for postdoc position in solid mechanics/biophysics
Dear everyone,
My name is Tianxiang Su. I am a 4th year PhD student in ME department in UPenn, working with Dr. Prashant Purohit. I am graduating in August and would like to look for a postdoc position in solid mechanics or biophysics. I am keeping an eye on this forum for openings myself. But if anyone happens to know some other great opportunities, please kindly let me know.
Here is my information:

Post-doctoral positions at the University of Texas at Austin
There are three post-doctoral openings at the Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin.
Call for papers for ICoBT 2011 - deadline 15 April
Themes covered include
- orthopaedic surgery
- dentistry
- biomechanics
- biomaterials
- cosmetic chemistry
- biophysics
- biomimetics
The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).
Teaching FEM to Biologists/Medics
All,
Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.
Best regards
Lee
