The Bioengineering and Surgical Research Group at Departments of Surgery and Bioengineering at the University of Maryland, a national leader in development of circulatory and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support devices is seeking three qualified Postdoctoral Researchers in the fields of Implantable Medical Devices and Bioengineering and/or related disciplines.  Qualified applicants must be self-motivated, creative, and dependable and have strong communication and interpersonal skills.  Selected candidates will have the great potential to grow to est

Distinct deformation mechanisms that emerge in nanoscale enable the nanostructured materials to exhibit outstanding specific mechanical properties. Here, we present superior microstructure- and strain-rate-dependent specific penetration energy (up to ∼3.8 MJ/kg) in semicrystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin films subjected to high-velocity (100 m/s to 1 km/s) microprojectile (diameter: 9.2 μm) impacts.

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental validation and data analytics.

 Context

As part of a collaborative FET-Open H2020 project between different universities and a SME, there exist open PhD positions is the context of

• Developments of homogenisation methods and

• Surrogate models (e.g. machine learning etc.)

Opportunity

 Two PhD positions at IMDEA (Spain) and ULiège (Belgium) are opened and consist in renewable periods of 12 months for a total duration of up to 42 months. Co-supervisions between the different partners are scheduled.

 Profile

We present a singularity free formulation and its efficient numerical implementation for the spatial deformation of Kirchhoff rods having uniformly distributed electrostatic charge. Due to the presence of continuously distributed charge, the governing equations of the Kirchhoff rod become a system of integro-differential equations which is singular at every arc-length. We show that this singularity is of removable type which, ones removed, makes the system well defined everywhere. No cutoff length or mollifier is used to remove this singularity.
