PhD positions in Civil Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney starting early 2023.  The research is on computational modelling of energy-absorbing materials, computational fracture mechanics, and computational optimisation.  Applicants with a strong publication track record in this research field are preferred.

Interested applicants should send their CV, brief (maximum one page) supporting statement, 3 referees, and publications (if applicable) to Jianguang.Fang [at] uts.edu.au

We have an opening at Ansys for a manufacturing simulation specialist for developing solutions for manufacturing simulation and enabling digital/advanced manufacturing, considering as-built design vs as-drawn/as-designed!

Job posting: https://careers.ansys.com/job-invite/10612/

Please take a look at the paper of our PhD student Beatrice Bisighini in Advances in Engineering Software: "EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics". We propose an efficient framework for modelling beam-to-surface contact, specifically designed to model endovascular devices.

Title: Modelling fluid /body interactions

Speaker: Frank Smith, University College London

Abstract:

Dear iMechanicians,

I want to share our recent work published in IJSS on the mechanics of spontaneously formed 2D crystal bubbles.

Prof. Xiaoyu Tang’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University has multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions in the area of Fluid Mechanics and Soft Matter. Research in the group focuses on multiphase flow, microfluidics, and active colloidal systems, using both experimental and numerical techniques. Selected PhD candidates are expected to start in Fall 2022/Spring 2023. Visiting students/scholars are always welcome.

Qualification

I am looking for a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on an NIH project that involves collaboration with the group of Dr. Sacks at UT Biomedical Engineering and with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  The work involves some experimental characterization of tissues, and development of computational modeling of surgical reconstruction of the breast.

Wrinkling of thin films under tension is omnipresent in nature and modern industry, a phenomenon which has aroused considerable attention during the past two decades because of its intricate nonlinear behaviors and intriguing morphology changes.
