ANSYS, Inc. has an immediate job opening
in Houston, TX for a Technical Services Engineer (Job ID # 2396). This
is a full time position.
The job entails providing advanced technical
guidance on various aspects of computational
Structural Mechanics to clients in
industry and academia.
I am seeking candidates in the field of Composites Modelling, interested in applying for any of the following schemes, which have closing dates in August 2011:
Elastomers are outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is a critical consideration. Because the macromolecular structure of elastomers gives rise to a number of unique behaviors, appropriately specialized methods are needed to characterize, analyze, and design for durability. This 2-day course provides the know-how for engineering durable elastomeric components and systems. The course is taught at Axel Products, and includes live demos of typical behavior.
Dear Colleagues,
I wish to bring to you my recent work with my supervisor Hui-Hui Dai on "Some Analytical Formulas for the Equilibrium States of a Swollen Hydrogel Shell". Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.
Looking through books and papers I see an often quoted equation to show that the contact radius (a) of spherical indenter of radius (R) is related to the indentation depth (h):
a= √(R.h)
However, using simple trigonometry of a spherical cap it can be shown that:
a=√(2Rh-h2)
Contact area is very important for use in nanoindentation - however, if it is based on the wrong contact area calculation, then more errors become apparent.
I am interested in applying for Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) and Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF). These are highly prestigious two-year fellowships (with average salary ~£50k/year):

The deadline is 11 August 2011.IEF is for researchers outside the European Union and IIF is for researchers within the European Union. My areas of interest include:
Three post-doctoral fellow positions
available over 5 years at Cardiff University in the framework of an ERC Starting
Independent Research Grant with Prof. Stéphane P.A. Bordas and Dr.
Pierre Kerfriden in collaboration with Prof. Karol Miller (University
of Western Australia).
(Synopsis at bottom of post)
We are looking for candidates with
experience in either of the following topics:
model order reduction (e.g. proper orthogonal decomposition - POD)
