One Ph.D. research position is available immediately at Iowa State University’s Mechanical Engineering Department in the area of soft tissue biomechanics. The candidates must be a US Citizen and have earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field. The selected candidates are expected to start no later than January 2018.
The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in experimental mechanics, with an emphasis on understanding the critical mechanisms that control the behavior of materials in extreme dynamic environments. A significant part of the research is expected to include using major national facilities such as APS. It is expected that the Fellow will also help develop the intersection of experimental mechanics and data science.
Location: Georgia Tech, School of Mechanical Engineering, Atlanta, GA

Applications are invited for an immediate postdoctoral associate opening and one Ph.D. opening (Spring, 2018) in mechanics and design of mechanical metamaterials and soft robotics in the Applied Mechanics of Materials Lab of Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, US.
Abstract:
Applications are sought for a Post-Doctoral Researcher at University of California, San Diego (USA) to join the M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for fiber composite material. In particular the research will develop an optimization method for structural topology as well as fiber composite architecture making essential use of the finite element method for structural mechanics. The position is initially for one year with a possibility for renewal.
Several positions are available

To obtain the principal planes we construct the stress tensor and find the eigen vectors. Here is an attempt to explain it more intuitively rather than the use of the formal mathematical method. Hope you enjoy this video!
