The Universal Program of Nonlinear Hyperelasticity
For a given class of materials, universal deformations are those that can be maintained in the absence of body forces by applying only boundary tractions. Universal deformations play a crucial role in nonlinear elasticity.

Postdoc vacancy (3 years) on computational mechanics of thick adhesive joints in large wind turbine blades
Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).
