Ph.D positions now open (for Fall 2020) in Mechanics, Biomimetics, and 3D Printing Lab at Northeastern University/Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department. More information about the lab can be found at https://www1.coe.neu.edu/~yaningli/home.html

Please directly send CV to Prof. Yaning Li at: y.li@northeastern.edu  

One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for nonlinear and multiphysics analysis of rationally-designed architected materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr.

The eigenfunction method pioneered by Galin (J Appl Math Mech 40: 981–986, 1976) is extended to provide a general solution to the transient evolution of contact pressure and wear of two sliding elastic half-planes, under the assumption that there is full contact and that the Archard–Reye wear law applies. The governing equations are first developed for sinusoidal profiles with exponential growth rates.

Dear Colleagues:

Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference(EMI2020) and Probalistic Mechanics and Reliability Conference(PMC2020) will be held at Columbia University in the upper west side of New York City, May 26-29, 2020 (https://www.emi-conference.org/).

As a part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent advances in the Mechanics of Superconducting Materials and Structures and Related Materials at Cryogenic Temperatures.

The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northwestern University, directed by Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, is looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher. The selected post-doctoral researcher will develop a project on the multiphysical behavior of geomaterials subjected to direct current electric fields through experimental investigations and theoretical analyses.

You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to 16th International Symposium on Functionally Graded Materials in Hartford, Connecticut, USA, 2020 (Dates: August 9-12, 2020).

All invited to submit an abstract to this conference, one of the best in the field, in the long tradition of BSSM Conferences

8th - 10th September 2020, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK.

The 15th in a series of conferences organised by the British Society for Strain
Measurement showcasing novel and innovative research in Experimental Mechanics.

Abstract submission deadline 28th February 2020    

Infrastructure - 2020

International Conference and Expo on Infrastructure and Construction

June 11-12, 2020 

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Dear fellow mechanicians,

I wanted to share our recent paper in Large scale ab-initio simulations of dislocations. A link with free access is provided.

PhD Open Positions

PhD positions with financial support in the form of research assistant/teaching assistant are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Connecticut (UConn).

Abstract

An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials synthesis. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related fields (applicants with an MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language is a plus. 

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2019.117785 The widespread use of low dimensional carbon membrane for desalination and gas separation is limited by the difficulty to physically realise such membrane designs on a meaningful scale. This review aims to bring together results achieved in this field, hoping to inspire new designs or developments that could bridge this technical challenge. The focus of this paper is on sub-nanometer separation operations such as desalination or gas separation.
