Prof. Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on the modeling of dislocations dynamics in the presence of hydrogen.  The major task of this project is to enable/perform Dislocation Dynamics simulations with hydrogen effects using the ParaDiS program. Molecular dynamics simulations may be required to provide physical input to the Dislocation Dynamics model.  The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to collaborate with external experimentalists working on this project.

A postdoc position is available in the National University of Singapore, on the development of a multi-physics degradation model for building facade materials. Description and application details are provided below.

Viscoelastic materials are receiving increasing attention in soft robots and pressure sensitive adhesives design, but also in passive damping techniques in automotive and aerospace industry. Here, by using the correspondence principle originally developed by Lee and Radok and further extended by Ting and Greenwood, we transform the elastic solutions of Persson for contact of nominally flat but randomly rough surfaces to viscoelastic indentation. As an example, the cases of step loading and of the response to a single cycle of harmonic loading are studied.

Multiscale Simulation Research Center (MSRC), with Departments of Mechanical, Civil, and Chemical Engineering at Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ), Jaipur, Rajasthan, India is organizing a three days International Conference on “Recent Advances in Modeling and Simulation Techniques in Engineering and Sciences[RAMSTES-2021]” to be held on 8-10, December 2021 at MUJ. Keynote speakers in the program include Prof. Ravi Chander K., University of Texas, Austin, Prof. Vishnu Pareek, Dean of Engineering, CurtinUniversity, Australia, Prof.

Two fully-funded PhD positions are available in the lab of smart manufacturing and smart materials at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the area of scientific machine learning and additive manufacturing. Our research concentrates on the development of physics-based machine learning and its application for computational design of functional materials, and multiscale and multiphysics modeling for AM.
