nonlinear mechanics

Wave Mechanics and Metamaterials Laboratory seeks candidates with strong knowledge in magnetoelasticity, wave mechanics, finite element modeling (ideally of magneto-mechanical coupling), or strong experimental background in ultrasonics or magnetism (ideally knowing how to operate an electromagnet). For more details, pls, see attached file.

Job Purpose: To make a leading research contribution to an industry-sponsored project on state-of-the-art finite element techniques to simulate needle penetration into skin working with the PI, A/Prof. Georges Limbert. You will join the national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS). In addition, you will work closely with the sponsor and contribute to the planning, writing and submission of reports and research publications.

Full Time Fixed Term for 18 months

Salary:   £31,406 to £38,587 per annum

I would like to advertise several openings for Ph.D. students in my recently-established research group, the Dynamic Structures Laboratory at Stony Brook University. The intended starting semester is Fall 2020.

A postdoctoral position is available as early as Fall 2019 at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.

When you push up your sleeves, wrinkles form, which eventually evolve into ridges (pictured). As familiar as you may be with this phenomenon, have you ever thought about its underlying mechanism? It involves the complex nonlinear mechanical behaviour of large deformations and surface instabilities, which in turn give rise to a sophisticated morphological evolution. And now, Yifan Yang and co-workers have revealed a hitherto unknown post-buckling behaviour that involves multiple bifurcation transitions (Phys. Rev.

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium (351) on "Nonlinear Mechanics of Polymer Network: Elasticity, Inelasticity, and Temporal Evolution" at the 2018 U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics which will be held at Northwestern University (Chicago IL, USA) on June 4-9, 2018. You can find a description of the symposium and the conference website using this link.

There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate position in the Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at RPI, Troy NY to work on problems involving novel iterative algorithms for nonlinear problems in solid mechanics using nonconventional discretization schemes. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in computational mechanics.

 Abstract

We seek for highly motivated Ph.D. candidates in the field of 1) Acoustic metamaterials (e.g., phononic crystals), 2) Advanced composite materials, and 3) NDE/SHM, to join Advanced Structures Laboratory (http://www.me.sc.edu/research/ASL/) at the University of South Carolina. The Advanced Structures Laboratory is located in the Mechanical Engineerin Department, which is ranked 31st nationally according to National Research Council and is recently emerging due to the construction of Aerospace Cluster driven by Boeing Company and GE Aviation.

The Computational Physics Group at the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the post-doctoral research associate position in Computational Mechanics. The successful candidate will develop and implement multiscale computational approaches for modeling of chemo-thermo-mechanical response of heterogeneous materials such as energetic materials and solid propellants.

Qualifications:

There is an opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy, NY.to work on an ongoing project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The project involves the multiscale modeling of particulate composites under extreme loading conditions. This is a great opportunity to be involved in challenging
multiscale computational techniques based on meshfree methods. Encouraged to
apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in
computational mechanics.
