The motion of filament-like structures in fluid media has been a topic of interest since long. In this regard, a well known slender body theory exists wherein the fluid flow is assumed to be Stokesian while the filament is modeled as a Kirchhoff rod which can bend and twist but remains inextensible and unshearable. In this work, we relax the inextensibility and unshearability constraints on filaments, i.e., the filament is modeled as a special Cosserat rod.

Abstract 

Our research Topic on Fingerpad Contact Mechanics is still open! Please follow the link below for abstract submission!

The chair of lightweight design (Prof. Weissgraeber) at the University of Rostock, Germany, offers a fully-finded PhD-position for 3 years (extension possible). 

 We are seeking for an excellent candidate interested in research on a Ph.D. project in the field of applied structural mechanics. The research project will be on of shape-adaptive lightweight structures and developing new analytical approaches for multistable composite structures.

 Recruitment requirements

We have a new opening for a Post-Doctoral Researcher starting immediately in the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Our lab is currently developing the next generation of biomedical devices for treatment of major diseases. This includes technologies such as drug delivery systems, smart pills and stents, soft actuators, and ingestible electronics for sensing and monitoring. These disruptive technologies will impact the lives of many, helping treat chronic illnesses, minimize side effects, and improve patient compliance for long and cumbersome treatment regimens.
