Post-doctoral position at the University of Texas at Austin

The
Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials has immediate openings
for two post-doctoral positions, dealing with (i) laboratory experiments on hydraulic
fracture and (ii) ductile failure in metals. The primary focus in both
investigations is on performing laboratory experiments that are then followed
by appropriate analyses. Candidates with a strong background in solid mechanics
and experience in experimental solid mechanics are encouraged to contact Professor

Journal Club Forum for October 15th: Experimental Solid Mechanics at the Nanoscale

Browsing through past themes, I realize that this is the third time the topic of experimental mechanics at the nanoscale has been highlighted in the jClub forum. There are many problems that require experimental research at the nanoscale that we can do this a few more times without being repetitive. I would like to focus this discussion on the fundamental issue of friction.
