We have several openings for a PhD positions. The successful candidate will conduct original research in the general area of biomechanics and fluid dynamics. They develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms. This position is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue.

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental investigation and data analytics. We have been extensively studying the process-structure-property relationships of additive manufacturing, and have made some interesting progresses (recently won 9 awards in 2022 NIST AM-Bench Simulation Challenge). More details about the group can be found in http://blog.nus.edu.sg/yanwt/
The Department of Applied Mathematics at Illinois Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in computational mathematics. The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal for an additional year. Priority is given to applicants with research expertise and interest in computational mechanics, numerical methods and applications in materials, biology and data science.
There is a fully funded Phd position opening in my research group at Michigan Technological University. The position will start from Spring-2023.
The broad focus of the Phd research will be on computational mechanics. Specific studies will involve modeling and experiments on polymer composite materials. Knowledge of composite materials, fracture mechanics, and finite elements is preferred. Interested students are requested to email tsainATmtuDOTedu

Hard-magnetic soft materials have attracted broad interests because of their flexible programmability, non-contact activation and rapid response in various applications such as soft robotics, biomedical devices and flexible electronics. Such multifunctional materials consist of a soft matrix embedded with hard-magnetic particles, and can exhibit large deformations under external magnetic stimuli. Here, we develop a three-dimensional (3D) rod model to predict spatial deformations (extension, bending and twist) of slender hard-magnetic elastica.
"Finite Element Method: Physics and Solution Methods" aims to provide the reader a sound understanding of the physical systems and solution methods to enable effective use of this method. I hope that the mechanics community will find this book useful.
A Postdoctoral opening is available in the area of engineered thermoplastic composite tank.
Pectin’s unique physicochemical properties have been linked to a variety of reparative and regenerative processes in nature. To investigate the effect of water on pectin repair, we used a 5 mm stainless-steel uniaxial load to fracture glass phase pectin films. The fractured gel phase films were placed on a 1.5–1.8 mm thick layer of water and incubated for 8 h at room temperature and ambient humidity. There was no immersion or agitation. The repaired pectin film was subsequently assessed for its optical and mechanical properties.
We are inviting chapters for our proposed book on “Smart Technologies for Improved Performance of Manufacturing Systems and Services”.
