1st invitation to VAL 2015 conference discussing effects of variable amplitude loading

Submitted by pragtic on

Dear iMechanicians,

Let me invite you the 3rd International Conference on Material and Component Performance under Variable Amplitude Loading (VAL 2015) taking place in Prague, Czech Republic in March 23-26, 2015. See the details on its website http://www.val-conf.org.

The conference will discuss among others these primary questions:

Project Associate / PhD Positions: Multiscale Simulation of Nano-Composites for Fatigue & Fracture

Submitted by Vijay Kumar Sutrakar on

Applications are invited for few open positions in the area of
multiscale simulation of fatigue and fracture of advanced alloys and
nano-material based composites. Primary focus of this research is investigation
of fatigue and fracture behavior of nanomaterials and to develope various
constitutive models for continuum, based on large scale atomistic simulations.
Research effort will include development of analysis and design methods toward
improving material/structural behaviour using computer simulation. Interested
candidates should have preferably MTech/ME degree in
mechanical/civil/aerospace/material engineering discipline with good knowledge

Research Associate - Modelling of Crack Growth under Fatigue-Oxidation Conditions

Submitted by liguozhao on

A Research Associate is required to undertake an EPSRC-funded project to model oxidation damage at a crack tip and associated crack growth for nickel alloys.

You will join the vibrant Mechanics of Advanced Materials group at Loughborough (www.lboro.ac.uk/moam) which has gained significant experience in the study of mechanical behaviour of advanced materials.

the relationship between the elastic constant of the metal and the the number of the fatigue cycles?

Submitted by Lang Zhou on

Is there a relationship between the elastic constant of the metal and the the number of the fatigue cycles?If we can find the relationship of the stand test spesimen,can we use that  relationship to predict the fatigue life of other structures? 

Overhead Electrical Conductors
