The edge effect in open lipid bilayers
Highlights:
A model for the free energy of the edge of an open lipid bilayer is derived.
The derivation is based on the interactions of the molecules comprising the edge.
The derived model can be employed to study pore growth in open lipid bilayers.
The model captures bending and torsional energies of the edge, in addition to the line tension.
The molecular origins of spontaneous curvatures and elastic moduli are investigated.
Applied Mechanics Division – Haythornthwaite Foundation Research Initiation Grants
With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2015, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time the award is made.
Regarding the ABAQUS Subroutine 'FRIC'
Dear all,
I have recently using the subroutine FRIC in ABAQUS, and I found that there is a variable 'PRESS' which is specified as 'contact pressure at end of increment' in the ABAQUS documentations. However, I have extracted this PRESS in a text file through applying the subroutine FRIC in a two-block compression model, and I found that the PRESS is different from the contact pressure (CPRESS) which can be obtained from the field output and it seems that there are two values in each simulation increment.
Position filled: Postdoc opening in design optimisation at the University of California, San Diego
The Multiscale and Multiphysics Design Optimization Group at the University of California, San Diego, is looking for a Postdoc. The research will develop numerical methods in coupled multiphysics and multiscale topology optimisation in aircraft in a modularized and parallel computing environment. It is expected that the applicants would have background in topology optimization or level set method, aeroelasticity, computer programming and computational mechanics.
