finite element analysis

PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Orleans, starting in the spring 2013. Applicants with strong background in the areas of solid mechanics, composite structures, finite element analysis, and fluid-structure interaction (using Abaqus or ANSYS) are encouraged to apply. The research projects are on small-scale unmanned aerial systems. Applicants can learn more about the PhD program from the website, http://coe.uno.edu/coe_web/graduate/phd.htm.

Dear All,

Currently, at BBR VT (www.bbrnetwork.com), there is an available position within the Research and Development Department. See attachment for a complete job description and how to apply.

Dr. Antonio Caballero
Head of Technology 

PhD
in Biomedical Engineering

Applications are invited for a postgraduate degree by research (PhD)
in Biomedical Engineering at the National University of Ireland Galway. The
project is funded by the European Research Council.

In many practical problems of solid mechanics, it is sufficient to characterize material deformation by the small (or linearized) strain tensor. But there are also many problems where the finiteness of strain must be taken into account.

The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent communication skills, written and verbal, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of productivity publishing in high quality archival journals.

WORKSHOP: Image-based Simulation for Biomechanics, Materials Applications, and Reverse Engineering

This workshop is aimed at those interested in 3D reconstruction from radiology images, and in using 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD, and Finite Element models.

Materialise and Dassault Systemes Simulia Benelux are pleased to announce their co-organized Medical Engineering Seminar which will take place on 4 October 2011, at the Materialise HQ in Leuven, Belgium. The Medical Engineering Seminar is a meeting for and by users and aims to bring together biomechanical engineers currently working, or interested in patient-realistic finite element modeling.
