Simultaneous improvements of strength and toughness in topologically interlocked ceramics, Mirkhalaf, Zhou, Barthelat, PNAS, 2018

Novelty/impact/significance:

Develop a topologically interlocked material (TIM) design that is tougher (25-50X) and stronger (1.2X) than the monolithic plates with the same material (increasing impact resistance without sacrificing strength/toughness).

We seek a full-time Ph.D. student to work on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of nickel-based superalloys in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama. The position will start in January 2021 and will be for four years. It will be funded through a new NSF project on surface engineering of the nickel-based superalloys. The goal is to explore and understand the strengthening and precipitate interactions.

Stress intensity factor from Abaqus

Submitted by MathuPhD on
 
How we can calculate K1 value from J - integral result from abaqus?. 
K1 value directly from abaqus is reliable? Because its crack initiation criterion is Max tangential stress, Max energy release rate and KII= 0. Which criterion will give correct results? Its depends on problem we handle. Thats I know. But if no value is available for crack initiation criterion ( Also, I introduce crack initially. So its invalid as crack initiation criterion - As of my understanding)

The Cai Soft Biomatter Laboratory (http://softbiomatter.org/) at the University of Virginia is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Researcher position in 3D printing of soft biomaterials. The project consists of two core areas: (1) materials innovation and (2) technology development. The successful candidate will develop new soft materials as inks for 3D printing, and use customized 3D printing technologies to transform the materials to adaptive structures for photonic and biomedical applications.
