Dear colleague,
 
I am preparing a seminar that I will give at several universities, and I would be glad to offer it to your group as well, either online or, if you are able to invite me, in person.
 
The seminar is about recent theories of friction and frictional contact, viewed as a fracture problem. In the "Griffith friction" picture the edge of the stick zone is treated as a shear crack, and this explains why static friction depends on load, size and roughness. It covers:

Open faculty positions in Materials, Mechanics, and Processing for Microelectronic Packaging at Arizona State University

Submitted by Jay Oswald on
job

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE) seek applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in Materials, Mechanics, and Processing for Microelectronic Packaging. The search addresses the materials, processing, and mechanics that determine how packaged microelectronic systems are built and how they perform.
