Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biomechanics
The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational biomechanics with applications to ocular biomechanics. The postdoctoral scholar will be involved in an R01 funded project to study the relationship between the structure and mechanical properties of the optic nerve head tissues and remodeling with glaucoma. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves long-standing collaborations between the Nguyen Lab and world-renowned glaucoma clinician-scientists at the Wilmer Eye I
Open faculty position in CEE at Cornell
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broad area of dynamics related to the mechanics of structures and materials. Our definition of structures is broad and includes buildings, bridges, dikes, wind turbines, and solar devices/solar panels.
We are interested in applicants whose research is related to any of the following or related areas:
• Material and/or structural response to dynamic loading arising from wind, waves, blast, seismic waves
On friction effects and the conditions of failure of adhesion in punch shaped pillars and mushrooms
Considerable research has been conducted on shape of pillar ends for optimal adhesion. In experiments with elastomers it has been found that mushrooms-ended ones are superior to flat-ended ones, but early experiments have suggested an extremely strong scaling in strength with pillar radius (del Campo et al Langmuir;23 :10235-43, 2007). We discuss various theories and experimental results on scaling of strength, and in particular we elaborate recent experiments on single pillars with mushroom ends finding that the scaling on strength is much less surprising.
PhD Positions at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen
The Mechanics of Functional Ceramics group (https://faculty.hitsz.edu.cn/yanzilin) at HITsz, led by Dr. Zilin Yan, Associate Professor, is seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students in the following areas.
2nd Workshop on Thermodynamics of Fatigue Process
We did it some 16 months ago - the 1st volume of this new online workshop was run without any budget and without any costs. Simply, a meeting place for researchers focused on a similar topic, and willing to share their experience with a broad auditorium. The content still can be found on our website, including records from all lectures.
