On April 27th we will present a webinar hosted by our partner @Altair where we will share efficient high-fidelity design and optimization of composite blades using VABS. Register now at https://bit.ly/3gnQJAN
Electron beam melting (EBM) is a metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) technology that is widely used for making three-dimensional (3D) objects by adding materials layer by layer. EBM is a very complex thermal process which involves several physical phenomena such as moving heat source, material state change, and material deposition. Conventionally, these phenomena are implemented using in-house codes or embedding some user subroutines in commonly used commercial software packages, like Abaqus, which generally requires considerable expertise.
Ph.D. positions (Graduate Research Assistantship) are available in the field of: (1) 3D printed composite materials for durable infrastructure and (2) advanced multifunctional durable concrete and cementitious materials. The research work will have both computational and experimental components. Individuals interested in 3D printed polymer composites, multifunctional concretes, multiscale/multiphysics material modeling, and experimental mechanics are encouraged to apply. The positions start Fall 2021 (August 2021).
Our latest article on the ballistic performance of polymer/metal nanostructures is freely available for 50 days from today: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1cy9c3In-urcWx

Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join my group at the University of Oxford in September 2021 (2-year contract). The project focuses on the constitutive modelling of biodegradable polymers (large deformations coupled to mass transport and chemical reactions). Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, constitutive modelling (hyperelasticity, viscoplasticity) and finite element methods.
A complete description of the position is attached.
We have open Ph.D. positions in my group at the University of Houston (UH) this Fall or Spring 2022. The general area of research is the mechanics of material failure. Of particular interest, is understanding how microstructures influence damage and fracture processes in advanced materials including metals and polymers. We formulate theoretical frameworks to assess and predict material behaviors at different length-scales via computational modeling and simulations. We closely collaborate with experimental groups.
Dear Colleagues,
The Composites Heterogeneous Materials Analysis and Simulation (COHMAS) Laboratory at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), Saudi Arabia, is pleased to announce e-poster competition on composite materials.
A PhD position is available as early as Fall, 2021 or Spring 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa).
There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled as soon as possible.
The research topic is multiscale modeling of the deformation response of SMAs through Machine Learning and Bayesian Inference.
