Quasi-periodicity and multi-scale resonators for the reduction of seismic vibrations in fluid-solid systems
This paper presents a mathematical model for an industry-inspired problem of vibration isolation applied to elastic fluid-filled containers. A fundamental problem of suppression of vibrations within a finite-width frequency interval for a multi-scale fluid-solid system has been solved. We have developed a systematic approach employing full fluid-solid interaction and dispersion analysis, which can be applied to finite and periodic multi-scale systems.

Flaw sensitivity of highly stretchable materials
Elastomers and gels can often deform multiple times their original length. The stretchability is insensitive to small cuts in the samples, but reduces markedly when the cuts are large. This work shows that this transition occurs when the depth of cut exceeds a material-specific length, defined by the ratio of the fracture energy measured in the large-cut limit and the work to rupture measured in the small-cut limit. This conclusion generalizes a result in the fracture mechanics of hard materials.
PhD position in multi-scale modelling of materials- Queen’s and Western University, Canada
A PhD position is available in the area of mechanics of materials. Applicants with a strong background in finite element modelling, crystal plasticity finite element, and materials characterization are recommended to apply.
Two Postdoctoral Fellow Positions Available
The Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Group at Drexel http://tamg.mem.drexel.edu/ is looking for exceptional candidates to fill two positions.
The first position requires expertise in combined computational and experimental mechanics to work on externally funded project with ITAR restrictions that target multiscale and multiphysics aspects of damage in advanced materials. Experience in integrating high resolution experiemental data with modeling, as well as good knowledge of digital signal processing will be highly considered.
