funded by the NIH on developing interactive computational technology.  Desirable background for this position
includes:

Applications are invited for few open positions in the area of
multiscale simulation of fatigue and fracture of advanced alloys and
nano-material based composites. Primary focus of this research is investigation
of fatigue and fracture behavior of nanomaterials and to develope various
constitutive models for continuum, based on large scale atomistic simulations.
Research effort will include development of analysis and design methods toward
improving material/structural behaviour using computer simulation. Interested
candidates should have preferably MTech/ME degree in
mechanical/civil/aerospace/material engineering discipline with good knowledge

The position will start from Summer, 2014. Candidates should have a Bachelor/Master's degree in engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering with good academic standing and should have some experiences in the following:

Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position in Experimental
Granular Physics with the Collective Interactions Unit at the Okinawa
Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). Our group is broadly
interested in experimental softmatter physics, continuum mechanics, and
applied mathematics, and their application to biologically inspired
questions. Our current emphasis is on interfacial fluid dynamics,
disordered granular solids, and biomechanics of the human foot. For

Graduate student research positions are available in Professor
Martini’s Fundamental Tribology group in Mechanical Engineering at the
University of California Merced. UC Merced is the 10th campus of the University
of California system, opened in 2005, with a rapidy growing research program. Professor Martini’s
group focuses on computational modeling of friction, wear and lubrication of
sliding surfaces, with particular emphasis on nanoscale interfacial phenomena.
Prospective applicants should contact Professor Martini directly.

The position is
scheduled for three years.

The research group of Structural Composites at IMDEA Materials (Madrid, Spain), led by Dr. Cláudio S. Lopes and Dr. Carlos González, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of multiscale computational analysis of composite structures. Candidates with strong background knowledge on computational damage mechanics, model development, and on numerical simulation of advanced composite materials and structures are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience in experimental mechanical testing of composites is highly valued.

A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to the rapid and online identification of specific composite materials. The candidate will have to design a short experimental campaign to meet specific constraints, to conduct testing and full field measurement on these configuration and to get familiar with classical inverse problem procedures.

A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to future flexible electronics. These are usually made of a transparent electrode (ITO) deposited on a polymer substrate. Such design results in loss of integrity when cracks develop in the thin brittle electrode. This projects intends to characterize mechanical properties of new solution for which the electrode and the substrate are merged together into a single active layer. The project will cover fatigue dependent properties as well a piezoresistive effects. Prospective candidate students will be exposed to a truly multidisciplinary work, involving topics in materials science and solid mechanics; in addition, he/she will participate in scientific outreach activities.

A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to adhesion phenomena across interfaces with spatially heterogeneous adhesive properties. The project aims to explore the effect of heterogeneities on the mechanical behavior of bonded interfaces through integrated experiments and simulations. The research seeks to systematically design multiple sites of potential crack pinning across the interface, able to trigger sequential events of initiation, propagation and crack arrest, thus promoting macroscopic variations of strength and toughness.
