We introduce our recent works on advanced fabrication and mechanics of hard-magnetic soft materials towards the development of untethered soft machines and robots actuated and controlled by magnetic fields.
- Abstract
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS403) "Multiscale Modeling in Bio-Mechanical Systems" for Finite Elements in Fluids 2019 (FEF-2019)
Date & Location:
March 31-April 3, 2019, Chicago, IL
Huilong Hou, Peter Finkel, Margo Staruch, Jun Cui & Ichiro Takeuchi, Ultra-low-field magneto-elastocaloric cooling in a multiferroic composite device, Nature Communications 9(1): 4075, (2018).
Two PhD positions are open for Spring 2019 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a 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 (preferably C++) is a plus.

Sharing our recent article in Nature that uncovers a surprising aspect of the mechanics of epithelial tissues, termed ‘active superelasticity’, which allows them to undergo extreme reversible deformations under constant tension - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0671-4 (read-only link: https://rdcu.be/batkj)
Several fully funded Ph.D. positions are available at the CompNano Lab in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami (https://www.compnanomiami.com/). Our group uses tools from engineering mechanics, statistical physics, and computational chemistry to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing the remarkable anomalous behavior of nanostructured materials.
Dear Colleagues,
Please see attached a recent article published in Materials Research Letters. In this article, we identified a new twinning pathway in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and demonstrated, via atomistic simulations, that Co in the γ′ precipitates promotes the new twinning pathway featured with nucleation of one complex stacking fault (CSF) on the middle plane between two separated CSFs.
Best,
Yizhe
