Engineering Mechanics

We have several Ph.D. positions available in our group (https://sites.usc.edu/zhaogroup/) in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at University of Southern California for Fall 2023. We are an interdesciplinary group with broad interests in flexible and stretchable sensors, experimental mechanics, advanced materials, and micro/nano manufacturing. Our focus areas include 3D soft electronics, brain-machine interfaces, unconventional micro/nano fabrication, and engineered surfaces/interfaces.

The Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, is pleased to announce the winners of prestigious 2022 mechanics awards.  

See details here.

The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing group at Cornell is seeking PhD student applicants for fall 2022 in the Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics fields. Collectively, our research spans polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites; synthetic and natural materials; and computation, theory, experiments, synthesis, and additive manufacturing. 

UT-Austin Engineering Mechanics Program is well known for its research on experimental mechanics, computational mechanics, fracture mechanics, nano- and micro-mechanics, thin-film mechanics, biomechanics, soft material mechanics, structural dynamics, and so on. We are the home of the International Journal of Solids and Structures (IJSS), International Journal of Fracture, and Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. We offer more than 20 rigorous graduate courses on engineering mechanics.

The Journal of Engineering Mechanics (JEM) launches a series of high-profile special issues. The second in the series is dedicated to “Statistical Physics in Structural Mechanics”, guest edited by Mohammad Javad Abdolhosseini Qomi, University of California at Irvine and Andrej Kosmrlj, Princeton University. Submissions will be accepted until June 30, 2022.
