Abstract

We study the mechanical behavior of mycelium composites reinforced with biodegradable agro-waste particles. In the composite, the mycelium acts as a supportive matrix which binds reinforcing particles within its filamentous network structure. The compressive behavior of mycelium composites is investigated using an integrated experimental and computational approach.

Abstract

The Mechanics & Materials Group within ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering has several openings for PhD students as well as a postdoctoral scholar. All positions are within the area of multiscale mechanics of solids with a primary focus on theory and simulations but also an experimental PhD thesis. Please see the attached description of the positions as well as requirements for potential candidates and contact information. The positions are open immediately and applications are welcome.

I’ll again offer the Multiscale Materials Design short course at MIT this summer, June 11-15, 2018. Registration is now open at http://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/multiscale-materials-design. Participants will receive an MIT certificate following the one-week course.  I have a limited number of fellowships available for postdocs and graduate students, please email me if you are interested (mbuehler@MIT.EDU).

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2018.01.009 Scleroproteins are an important category of proteins within the human body that adopt filamentous, elongated conformations in contrast with typical globular proteins. These include keratin, collagen, and elastin, which often serve a common mechanical function in structural support of cells and tissues. Genetic mutations alter these proteins, disrupting their functions and causing diseases.
