Last week was good for us.

We successfully held a well-attended minimposium on #ECCOMS2024 in #Lisbon about open-source software, with good speakers and representation.

Moreover, MoFEM (@mofemjoseph) has been accepted as an affiliated code to @NumFOCUS.

Congratulations to PhD student, Paulo R. Refachinho de Campos, jointly supervised by @ZienkiewiczInst, @GCEC_ and UPC, who has been selected as the winner of the 2023 UKACM Roger Owen Prize on the topic related to “SPH for fast dynamics”

[Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre @GCEC_]

A cross-collaborative work powered by @mofemjoseph has been gaining well deserved recognition, for more information see below:

Our small project with bubble analysis in MoFEM in the eye made the front cover of the January edition of the Journal of Cataract & Refectory Surgery and generated much interest. It also won a prize for oral presentation at the UKISCRS conference! @GCEC_

The first UKACM Autumn School has been a success. The numbers speak for themselves: 184 registered participants from 22 countries!

UKACM would like to publicly thank the organisers from @GCEC_ for all the efforts to prepare and deliver this online course.

[UKACM @UK_ACM]

Great attendance to our first UKACM school. Organised by the @GCEC_ , it has attracted more than 180 participants worldwide!

[Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre @GCEC_]

Come and join us. Exciting job opportunity

[Lukasz Kaczmarczyk @LukaszKaczmarcz]

Work with us. We have a great track record. Our group members became professors, and lecturers or started great careers in the industry. You will get great skills in C++ and the art of computational mechanics. @cjpearce (BTW Location Glasgow).

Details for the @UK_ACM Autumn School on "Mixed Finite Element Formulations in Solid Mechanics". can be found below: https://t.co/ae13YqGubl. Course schedule here: https://t.co/SzIPb5Y0aL. Hands-on training with MoFEM @mofemjoseph on the cloud platform will be provided. @GCEC_

[Prof. Vihar Georgiev (Вихър Георгиев) @vihardabest]

Great progress from two of my undergraduate students. We are not there yet, but the best way to learn is to try and to make mistakes. Stay tuned for more nice movies.

[Prashant Saxena @saxenaprshnt]

An improved version of this paper is now published in Computational Mechanics and can be freely downloaded from https://t.co/dUbEdR2Cgg

Shell buckling is often studied under compressive loads but interesting bifurcations happen when shells undergo large inflation (eg balloons)

[Peter Grassl @peter_grassl]

Please see my new article in which I investigate computationally the effect of lateral compression on tensile fracture processes.
