job

A postdoctoral position is available in the Computational Mechanics and Materials
Group within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell
University (http://ceeserver.cee.cornell.edu/dhw52/index.shtml).
The project will involve the application of ab-initio atomistic modeling
techniques to illuminate the mechanisms by which impurities and environment
influence the mechanical failure of engineering materials.

Post-doctoral position is available in the area of ultrasonic material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (strong background and experience in ultrasonic experiment and modeling are required). The position is supported from research grants. The focus area is ultrasonic study of nonhomogenous materials like polycrystalline materials, composites and adhesive bonds. State of the art ultrasonic laboratories and other characterization facilities are available. More details will be provided to interested individuals.

Interested candidates should contact

Dear All,

Please explain me what is central differnce operator, what is the role of central differnce played in Abaqus/Explcit analysis

I am a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am looking for a PhD student to work in the area of applied mathematics, specifically in solid mechanics (linear elasticity, complex variable methods, boundary integral equation methods) with a possible start date of Sept 2012 or jan 2013.

One (1) to Two(2) years post-doctoral positions are open in Ecuador (South America). The following are areas of interest:

We anticipate the opening of four postdoctoral positions in 2012 to work on statistical aspects of fracture and plasticity,  and in particular on size effects in the fracture of  disordered media and in microplasticity.  The positions will be funded by the ERC Advanced Grant 2011, SIZEFFECTS.



We look for candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas:

- statistical mechanics (scaling, critical phenomena, disordered systems)

- numerical modeling fracture

- dislocation dynamics simulations

Post-doc at the University of Liège : Simulation of micro/nano-structured materials described by 3D tomography

The tasks involved in this position include geometrical analysis of the

3D images, generation of datasets which are suitable for the computations

(meshes, level-sets fields ...), computations using novel numerical techniques

(X-FEM and related)
