Postdoc position
The Department of
Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening
for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2012. The position’s primary
area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and
characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at small length-scales. The
initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the
availability of funds. A strong background in solid mechanics with an expertise
in computational crystal plasticity and finite element modeling of

Buildings subsidence due to clay ‘shrink-swell': UK research highlights link to weather and consequences for insurers
Will home owners get that sinking feeling this summer?
Are we in for a summer of cracked buildings? It all depends on the weather. Research from the British Geological Survey (BGS) has highlighted the importance of rainfall and temperature on the incidence of clay shrink-swell, a precursor to subsidence, in the UK. For many, the cool, wet conditions we have experienced so far this summer may be just what is needed to keep their house in order.
