The research program will focus on soft robotics and mechanical metamaterials. Candidates with high self-motivation, experimental or modeling background and interests in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanics are highly encouraged to apply.
Discussion of fracture paper #29 - Fast crack growth in fibre reinforced composites
The outstanding and brilliantly written paper, "Modeling of Dynamic Mode I Crack Growth in Glass Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composites: Fracture Energy and Failure Mechanism" by Liu, Y, van der Meer, FP, Sluys, LJ and Ke, L, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 243, 2021, applies a numerical model to study the dynamics of a crack propagating in a glass fiber reinforced polymer. The paper is a school example of how a paper should be written. Everything is well described and carefully arranged in logical order.
A micromechanics-based deep learning model for short fiber composites
If you are curious about application of machine learning techniques in mechanics problems, our latest paper is probably interesting for you. In this paper, we are proposing a micromechanics-based artificial neural networks model for short fiber composites.
