Unique opportunity to connect experimental, theoretical, and numerical know how in the description of biological tissues.
+ learn about the function of solids at large deformations, for example, used in soft robotics.
We develop a variationally consistent framework for chemo-elastic special Cosserat rods that incorporates a two-way chemo-mechanical coupling to accurately model large deformations in slender rods. This two-way coupling is particularly important to model stress-assisted diffusion for various metamaterial-based battery electrodes and soft robotics applications. Using the virtual power and energy minimization approach, we first derive coupled equilibrium equations in Lagrangian formulation applicable to three-dimensional chemo-elastic solids.
Bioinspired microstructure design simultaneously enhances strain-rate stiffening and toughening of composites, Qi, et al., Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2024
Novelty:
Propose and prove that microstructure significantly affects strain-rate dependent mechanical properties of composites, expanding the current knowledge that the strain-rate dependence is mostly due to material attributes.
The Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) invites applications for up to ten open positions for independent research group leaders under the 2026 ČVUT Starting Grant (StG) scheme. The call is open to applicants in all research fields represented at CTU, including Engineering, Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, Architecture, and Humanities. Applicants must be early-career researchers (Ph.D. awarded no more than 8 years prior to the deadline) with substantial international experience (Ph.D.
