Title: An energy conserving mechanism for temporal metasurfaces

Postdoctoral Position at the University of Connecticut in Modeling of Mechanics of Polymer Matrix Composites at Atomic Scales

Submitted by Dongare on

The Computational Materials and Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the modeling of mechanical behavior polymer matrix composites across multiple scales starting immediately.

The postdoctoral researcher will use classical molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning algorithms to investigate the links between atomic-scale microstructure and the properties/behavior of polymer matrix composites under high-rate deformation.

Qualifications:

PhD position at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in solid mechanics and fracture mechanics of composite materials

Submitted by Bent F. Sørensen on

We have an open position as a PhD student in the area of fracture mechanics of fibre composites. The focus of the position is to develop element test specimens, i.e., test specimens that are purposely-designed with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution (two or more damage types) in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading

Postdoctoral positions in Granular Mechanics at Northwestern University

Submitted by gbuscarnera on

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in the Geomechanics Group led by Dr. Buscarnera at Northwestern University. Both positions focus on the multi-scale behavior of granular solids, with one emphasizing numerical and theoretical modeling of the particle-continuum duality and the other emphasizing the experimental study of particulate materials through advanced characterization protocols. Competitive salary, exposure to a dynamic international academic environment and opportunities for professional development will be essential elements of the employment conditions.

Exceptional-point-based accelerometers with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio

Submitted by Ramathasan The… on

Exceptional points (EP) are non-Hermitian degeneracies where eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors coalesce. Recently, EPs have attracted attention as a means to enhance the responsivity of sensors, through the abrupt resonant detuning occurring in their proximity. In many cases, however, the EP implementation is accompanied by noise enhancement, leading to the degradation of the sensor’s performance.
