I am seeking enthusiastic students and recent graduates to join my group at the University of Missouri - Columbia to work on the nonlinear structural mechanics of folded and 3D printed materials such as origami tessellations and lattices. Positions are available at the level of Graduate Research Assistants and Postdoctoral Fellows. Candidates with background in nonlinear finite element analysis are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Department of Engineering at Aarhus University has a number of open positions as Assistant Professor (tenure track) or Associate Professor at the Section of Mechanical Engineering. The University seeks innovative and visionary engineers/researchers capable of developing the research in Mechanical Engineering.

The positions are available from January 1, 2020 or as soon as possible hereafter.

A very interesting recent paper by Dalvi et al. has demonstrated convincingly with adhesion experiments of a soft material with a hard rough material that the simple energy idea of Persson and Tosatti works reasonably well, namely the reduction in apparent work of adhesion is equal to the energy required to achieve conformal contact. We demonstrate here that, in terms of a stickiness criterion, this is extremely close to a criterion we derive from BAM (Bearing Area Model) of Ciavarella, and not very far from that of Violano et al.

Introduction

We have an opening for a post-doc position at George Mason University starting in the beginning of October. The preferred qualification for the position is a strong background in computational fluid dynamics involving short-duration dynamic loads (e.g. underwater explosion). Expertise in fluid-structure interaction is a plus. Candidates from aerospace, mechanical, civil, and related engineering areas will be considered. Inquiries can be sent directly to Girum Urgessa at gurgessa@gmu.edu with a CV/resume attached.

Abstract

Abstract

Tensile grip jaw selection plays an important role for successful mechanical tests as if specimen slippage between the jaws occurs or if the specimen breaks or tears in the jaw area testing may need to be discarded. This post covers the available jaw surface types for tensile grips and also the operation of quick-change type jaws.

Introduction

Hi Friends,

IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENT!!!

The position is under Assoc Prof Aravind Dasari, from School of Material Science and Engineering. Please see the attached job description.

Published in Extreme Mechanics Letters: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2019.100507. For more than half a century, physicists rejected the existence of two-dimensional (2D) materials since they theoretically underestimated the stability. However, the discovery of one-atom-thick graphene proved the inapplicability of this theory.

Applications are open for PhD Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) position(s) in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Utah State University.

PhD Title: 3D Printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators

One of our studies on linear and nonlinear non-Hermitian metamaterials has been published on the recent special issue of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America: Non-Reciprocal and Topological Wave Phenomena in Acoustics.

Abstract

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

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate at the International Symposium on Leading Edge Erosion of Wind Turbine Blades, which will take place February 4-6, 2020, in the Niels Bohr Auditorium, DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, Denmark.

Context
As part of a collaborative project between different Belgian industrial partners and Universities related to the study of composite laminate under impacts, the main objective of the doctoral position will be to develop a multi-scale numerical framework to study failure of the synthesized materials.

Context
As part of a collaborative FET-Open H2020 project between different universities and a SME, there exist open PhD and Post-Doc positions is the context of
• Experimental characterisation of SLS printed structures;
• Models development of SLS process and constitutive behaviours;
• Developments of homogenisation methods and surrogate models (e.g. machine learning etc.)

Data-driven system identification procedures have recently enabled the reconstruction of governing differential equations from vibration signal recordings. In this contribution, the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics is applied to structural dynamics of a geometrically nonlinear system. First, the methodology is validated against the forced Duffing oscillator to evaluate its robustness against noise and limited data.

Dear all,

May I bring your attention to recent papers of our that deals with fibre-reinforced magneto elastic composite at large strain?
