We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral student to join computational biomechanics laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the areas of either computational mechanics or experimental methods. Candidate are expected to have strong background in numerical simulations / computer programming and/or experimental characterization of soft tissue mechanics.

Materials can suffer mechanical fatigue when subjected to cyclic loading at stress levels much lower than the ultimate tensile strength, and understanding this behaviour is critical to evaluating long-term dynamic reliability. The fatigue life and damage mechanisms of two-dimensional (2D) materials, of interest for mechanical and electronic applications, are currently unknown. Here, we present a fatigue study of freestanding 2D materials, specifically graphene and graphene oxide (GO).

Machine learning (ML) in Mechanics is a fascinating and timely topic. This article follows from a kind invitation to provide some thoughts about the use of ML algorithms to solve mechanics problems by overviewing my past and current research efforts along with students and collaborators in this field. A brief introduction on ML is initially provided for the colleagues not familiar with the topic, followed by a section about the usefulness of ML in Mechanics, and finally I will reflect on the challenges and opportunities in this field.
Curvature-induced symmetry-breaking pattern formation and transition are widely observed in curved film/substrate systems across different length scales such as embryogenesis, heterogeneous micro-particles, dehydrated fruits, growing tumors and planetary surfaces.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) is a leading global university; ranked 1st in Asia and 11th globally in the 2019 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings. According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019, the NUS Civil & Structural Engineering discipline has been placed 2nd in the world and 1st in Asia.
A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.
