The Mechanics of Infrastructure Materials research group is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on multi-physics continuum modelling of solid-state batteries. The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda (Mechanics of Materials) and by Prof Greg Offer and Dr Monica Marinescu from Imperial's Battery group.
Structural Integrity and MEchanical Design (SIMED) group is seeking a 17-month full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (or Associate Researcher, not holding a PhD) in Computational Fracture Mechanics. The successful applicant will work at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine, under Dr Enrico Salvati’s supervision.
The Structural Optimization research group at Technion (PI Oded Amir) invites applications for a PhD position in the field of Topology Optimization using Iso Geometric Analysis. The position is part of a research project funded by the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF).
The project
The project will involve the following challenges and opportunities:
· Iso Geometric Analysis on precise evolving boundaries with untrimming and refinement

2 funded PhD positions are available in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University. One research focus is on the design of architected composite structures for 3D printing. More broadly, the student will be exposed to computational materials and mechanics of energy, nano/bio, and engineering materials. The student will have opportunities to work with experimentalists and data scientists to generate high-impact research works. Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S.
Dear members of iMechanica, We are very pleased to announce the good health of the first overlay journal in Solid Mechanics, the so-called "Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics" Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics" which is a scholarly journal, provided on a Fair Open Access basis, without cost to both readers and authors. The Journal aims to select publications of the highest scientific caliber in the form of either original research or review in Solid Mechanics.
EnergyX Lab (Energy Exploration Laboratory) at North Carolina State University is seeking a highly qualified Ph.D. candidate. The group has extensive collaboration and active research projects in different energy-related areas with several leading US national laboratories as well as US companies.
The new model of truss element is based on the same stress-strain curves of tension, compression, and shear with the hexahedron element under the equivalent external force. Comparing and analyzing a simply supported elastoplastic concrete beam with initial cracks by using the new element method and the finite element method, it can be found that the load-displacement curve, the load-crack opening displacement curve, the contour of the displacement under the various loads, and the distribution of the horizontal normal stress under the maximum load are all in good agreement.
