Several fully-funded PhD openings are available (flexible start date) in the lab of Dr Maresca at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands (https://www.rug.nl/staff/f.maresca/).
The research topics will focus on the multi-scale mechanics modelling of the following problems:
a) Hydrogen embrittlement in steels
b) High entropy alloys
c) Shape memory alloys
International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials XIII
13-18 September 2020 | DoubleTree by Hilton Cape Cod, Hyannis, MA, USA

Conference topics:
Nowadays, titanium and its alloys are widely utilized in various industrial parts in such areas as the petrochemical, medical, and automotive industries; However, due to structural considerations, the application is problematic in cases of joining. Ti 4Al 2V is a new type of titanium alloy, that in point of the structure is near to the α-series, which have many applications in critical conditions (moisture, steam, temperature, etc.).

Dr. Yanqing Su's group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Utah State University (USU) is looking for fully funded Ph.D. students in the field of materials in extreme environments using small-scale computational methods. Self-motivated individuals who have research experience in one or more of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply for the Ph.D. positions in our group:
Our paper on the phase-field mixture theory of tumor growth is published in JMPS. The continuum model simulates significant mechano-chemo-biological features of avascular tumor growth in the various microenvironment, i.e., nutrient concentration and mechanical stress.
