The ASME Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) Technical Committee for Experimental Mechanics is soliciting oral-only student presentations across four topic areas:
• 11-13: Quantitative Visualization in Fracture & Fatigue
• 11-15: Mechanical Characterization in Extreme Environments
• 11-17: Mechanics of Adhesion and Friction
• 11-18: In-Situ Techniques in Experimental Mechanics
2 PhD Research Assistant positions are immediately available. The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, proteins, and composite materials. Applicants with background or interest in related research are preferred.
Temple University is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours drive from New York City and 3 hours drive from Washington DC.
I will be teaching undergraduate thermodynamics in the Fall 2019. I am writing a google doc for the lectures and problems.
A recent study reviews achievements made in the determination of the size‐dependent mechanical properties of nanowires. Covering both measurement techniques and computational approaches, data reported in the literature are summarized for a variety of nanowires.
The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor K.T. Ramesh, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, as the recipient of the 2019 Warner T. Koiter Medal.
The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor John Bassani, Richard H. and S. L. Gabel Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, University of Pennsylvania, as the recipient of the 2019 Daniel C. Drucker Medal.
The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor J. N. Reddy, Oscar S. Wyatt Jr. Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, as the recipient of the 2019 Timoshenko Medal.
I have an opening for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University. The project is a collaboration with experimentalists. and concerns problems in which fractures are driven by fluid flow through porous media.
The ideal candidate will have some background in finite element methods and mechanics, nonlinear coupled field problems, C++, and high-performance computing. Experience with fracture mechanics is useful but not required.
