Lithium ion batteries with solid state electrolytes are prone to degradation by a range of mechanisms including dendrite formation, void formation and swell-induced fatigue and micro-cracking. The topology of the battery plays a role over a number of length scales, from macro scale geometry of battery to the microstructural scale of the cathode. The kinetics of plating and stripping of lithium at free surfaces play a major role, along with the role of topology in terms of both performance and failure mechanisms.

In this paper we discuss nonlinear anisotropic anelasticity formulated based on the two multiplicative decompositions F=F^eF^a and F=F^aF^e.

Dear Colleagues, Our recent publication on the Journal of Applied Mechanics:

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, theoretically and computationally topics related to the dynamics of metamaterials, with specific emphasis on wave phenomena.  The position is available immediately, and potentially relevant backgrounds for the position include:

1. Phononic crystals

2. Acoustic or phononic bandgaps

3. Non-reciprocal wave propagation

There are at least one PhD position opening next year, starting in 08/2023 in Prof. Kevin Wang's research group at Virginia Tech. The new student(s) will work in multiphysics modeling and computation, focusing on fluid-structure and fluid-material interaction, with applications in biomedical, aerospace, ocean, and civil engineering. If you are interested in this position(s), please contact Prof. Kevin Wang at kevinwgy [at] vt.edu. Thanks.

There are multiple open positions available in Dr. Zhengwei Li's research group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston. Our research group works on the interface between human and machines to create novel devices and technologies for addressing grand challenges in health, medicine and robotics. The current research topics include Curvy wearable electronics, biohybrid living robotics, biomedical devices, bioelectronic neural interfaces, etc. 

Postdoc Position:

The Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) Young Investigator Award is provided by Elsevier to honor the best paper by a young scientist which has been published in volumes 48-56  of EML, from 2021 to 2022.

Professor Pradeep Sharma will give a Plenary Lecture for Track 7 Dynamics, Vibration and Control at the IMECE Congress of the ASME in Columbus, OH, on Tuesday, November 1, 9:15AM - 10:00AM with title: Flexoelectricity and Electrets. The Abstract and Bio can be found at https://event.asme.org/IMECE/Program/Track-Plenary-Speakers. The lecture is sponsored by the Applied Mechanics Division of the ASME.
