Dear Colleagues,
The 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM 10) will be held during 2-7 October 2022 at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
We are organizing a symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Material Failure (Symposium #13).
We are happy to announce the 2021 SES Meeting to be held in October. This year’s SES Meeting is an exciting departure from conventional virtual conferences. It will be organized as a Virtual Month (https://socengsci.org/ses-virtual-month/) spread over five days (October 1, 5, 15, 19, and 29). Each day will be a theme, which includes a fishbowl event, presentation, and poster session. A fishbowl is similar to a panel discussion, but with more interaction and informality.
A one-year post-doc position is available in our research group at the University of Houston with a start date of 1 September 2021.
We are interested in understanding how microstructural aspects govern material failure. Our approach relies on formulating theoretical frameworks that are informed by experiments and implementing them computationally.
Join us to expand in more novel directions:
(i) Data-driven plasticity and failure;
(ii) Phase-field approaches to plasticity and failure;
We have open Ph.D. positions in my group at the University of Houston (UH) this Fall or Spring 2022. The general area of research is the mechanics of material failure. Of particular interest, is understanding how microstructures influence damage and fracture processes in advanced materials including metals and polymers. We formulate theoretical frameworks to assess and predict material behaviors at different length-scales via computational modeling and simulations. We closely collaborate with experimental groups.
The 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM 10) will be held during October 18-23, 2020 at Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The MMM conference series is the world’s largest forum with a particular focus on multiscale materials modeling.
I am pleased to share our recent paper on the growth and coalescence of voids in HCP single crystals (Balaji Selvarajou, Shailendra P. Joshi, Amine Benzerga).

Abstract
We have openings for a PhD candidate and a post-doc fellow in our research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston. These positions will focus on the theoretical and computational modeling of damage in advanced materials.
For the PhD position, a strong background in solid mechanics is required; a good background in computational mechanics is highly desirable.
We anticipate an opening for a post-doctoral fellow position in micromechanics based failure modeling of heterogeneous brittle materials. The focus will be on characterizing the roles of flaw distributions on rate-dependent failure in materials such as concrete. The objective is to develop an understanding of failure processes with the aim of designing high performance brittle materials.
