Multiple postdoc openings at UC San Diego (USA) and Cardiff University (UK)
Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for two postdoctoral positions immediately available in the Multiscale Multiphysics Design Optimisation (M2DO) lab, led by H Alicia Kim.
Candidates must have a strong background in mathematical optimization, finite element method and computer programming, and be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to structural design and optimization. Experience or interest in developing numerical methods and/or large-scale high performance computing and collaborative software development is also desirable.
Open position (PhD or Postdoc level) in the field of Computational Materials Science at Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, Düsseldorf
The position is part of the project “Electro-plastic deformation of Al-Cu eutectic alloys” within the priority programme “Manipulation of Matter Controlled by Electric and Magnetic Fields: Towards Novel Synthesis and Processing Routes of Inorganic Materials” (SPP 1959).

Post yield response of amorphous polymers under different stress states
In this contribution, an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model based on the single mode EGP (Eindhoven Glassy Polymer) model is proposed to describe the deformation behaviour of solid polymers subjected to finite deformations under different stress states. The material properties of the original model are determined and calibrated from a uniaxial compression-loading test. Then, several numerical examples under different stress states are presented to illustrate the limitations.
