Application of quantum computing in structural optimization problems.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

IHPC is seeking a highly motivated research scientist to apply quantum computing techniques in engineering mechanics optimization problems. The project aims to develop and adopt

quantum computing to optimal designed advanced materials and related quantum computing algorithms development, numerical analysis of structures and materials with pure or hybrid

SDU Mechatronics and the Centre of Industrial Mechanics, part of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, invites applications a position as associate or assistant professor in mechanical engineering, within multi-body dynamics and simulation, preferably with experience in one or more of the following fields: Linear Elasticity and Plasticity, CAD and CAE, Advanced Finite Element Methods including applications,

I'm looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in the area of fatigue and fracture metal 3D printing pars. Candidates who are skilled in fatigue, 3D printable architected mechanical metamaterials, FE analysis of nonlinear solids, and fatigue fracture are encouraged to apply.
Selected candidate will work in Fatigue and Fracture of Materials group, under supervision of Dr. Malekan, at SDU Sønderborg - University of Southern Denmark.

A PostDoc/Research Associate Position is available immediately at Colorado School of Mines. The applicants should have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or a relevant field, with a strong background in MD simulations and/or phase-field modeling. The project involves developing new models for diffusionless phase transformation and ferroelasticity. Knowledge of machine learning and data analysis is a plus.

A PhD assistantship in Materials Science and Engineering is available at the University of Nevada Reno.  The research is on understanding fatigue in polycrystalline alloys using experiments and modeling.  Applicants with a background in C++/python programming are preferred. 

Interested applicants please send an email to lmushongera [at] unr.edu with your resume, cover letter, transcripts, GRE and TOEFL scores. This position will start in Fall 2022.

Are you passionate about how creatively building and solving partial differential equations in engineering and material science could help propel additive manufacturing for a variety of critical components in industry? 

Currently operating with world-class industries within automotive ICE / EV, aerospace, space, jewellery, electronics, biomedical applications and more; here at Alloyed, we seek ambitious, open-minded problem solvers. 

The below opening may excite you:

The Bazant group at MIT Chemical Engineering (http://bazantgroup.mit.edu/) is looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate in the area of experimental characterization of batteries. Candidates who are skilled in battery electrode/cell manufacturing, battery analyzing, electrode material characterization, and acoustic and/or mechanical assessments are encouraged to apply by sending a CV to Dr. Juner Zhu (zhujuner [at] mit.edu).

Additive manufacturing of metal alloys yields great potential for the aerospace industry (and others) as it allows the generation of geometrically complex structures with high specific strength, low density and high corrosion resistance. For example, General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing incorporated more than 300 printed parts in their 777X airplane … For such critical applications, the structural quality of printed parts is of utmost importance.

Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).

A PhD student position in the field of mechanics is available in the Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering at the Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne, Australia). The project will focus on developing a new energy-absorbing metamaterial, incorporating the synergistic effect of shear-thickening fluid (STF) and cellular structures, for improved mechanical performance under different loading conditions.

Prior experience with finite element methods and impact testings is highly preferred.
