Three Postdoctoral Positions in Cardiovascular Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for three postdoctoral scholar positions in the areas of (1) Cardiovascular Mechanics, (2) Heart Valve Engineering, and (3) Cardiac MRI Imaging. We seek qualified candidates with a strong background in computational modeling either in fluid or solid mechanics, strong programming background with application in MRI/Ultrasound and/or experimental expertise with heart valves.

crack propagation in thin films

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

I work in a thin-film photovoltaics institute.  We deposit 1 µm silicon on glass substrate.  This silicon has tensile stress.

Then, by etching through a tiny hole in the silicon with HF, we underetch the thin layer.  This way, a circular area of the silicon is unattached to the glass.  The circle grows with time. We observe spirals of cracks at these positions.  Sometimes, there's only one spiral, sometimes we see two nested spirals.

Microscale characterization of granular deformation near a crack tip

Abstract

This paper presents a study of microscale plastic deformation at the crack
tip and the effect of microstructure feature on
the local deformation of aluminum specimen during fracture
test. Three-point bending test of aluminum specimen was conducted
inside a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging system.
The crack tip deformation was measured in situ utilizing SEM imaging
capabilities and the digital image correlation (DIC)
full-field deformation measurement technique. The microstructure feature
at the crack tip was examined to understand its effect on
the local deformation fields. Microscale pattern that was suitable
