The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE, http://maeweb.ucsd.edu/) at the Jacobs School of Engineering (JSOE) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor rank with research focus on experimental and/or computational mechanics of advanced materials under extreme conditions.
The aim of the workshop is to gather experts from all over the world to update advances in computational methods in vibration and acoustics and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and information. The workshop will provide a common platform to bring together researchers, engineers, scientists, scholars and students to exchange and share their new ideas in broader domain of vibration and acoustics and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras is seeking to fill Assistant Professor vacancies in the following research areas.
1) Experimental Structural Mechanics/ Composites
2) Airplane Aerodynamics
3) Control of Aerospace vehicles
4) Aircraft Design (aerodynamic/structural)
The Sonny Astani Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California has two faculty position openings. Details can be found at http://cee.usc.edu/facultysearch .
Teledyne Scientific Company announces the opening of a new position at its Thousand Oaks, California facility. This position offers you the opportunity to utilize and expand your academic training in mechanical engineering. The position will be associated with Teledyne Scientific Composite Materials group. The group has been for the past 20 years at the forefront of the design and characterization of materials for extreme environments including unique types of high-temperature composites for the aerospace industry.
I post the links to some of our recently published papers on magneto-elasticity. These are iron-filled elastomers whose mechanical properties can be influenced by the application of a magnetic field. A continuum theory that accounts for magneto-mechanical coupling as well as rate-dependent energy dissipating deformations is presented.
I also attach post-print versions of these articles here. Hopefully, they can be useful for some people working in this field.
We have a new paper in IJSS that discusses details about Abaqus user elements, in the context of polymer gels, that may be useful to the community. The supplemental material of the paper provides the UEL code, some input files, as well as a short tutorial that should be helpful to others in their own research projects, even if not related to gels.
The link to the files is: http://web.njit.edu/~sac3/Software.html

Experience with phase-chase modeling or FSI is a plus.
Please feel free to forward this posting to potential candidates. Thanks!
Dear Colleagues, we cordially invite you to participate in PACAM XV.The Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics XV will be held in Champaign, IL from May 18 to May 21, 2015, under the auspices of the American Academy of Mechanics and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The conference will feature plenary lectures by Prof. Kaushik Bhattacharya (California Institute of Technology), Prof.
