Soft Robotics Postdoc Position at Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Submitted by Guoying Gu on
 Dear colleagues,
 
 
There is a funded postdoc position (2-3 years) at Soft Robotics and Biodesign lab (http://softrobotics.sjtu.edu.cn/ ), Robotics Institute, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), Shanghai, China. We have a soft robotic project on developing  wearable and assistive  soft robots for assisting and restoring the ability of the humans with the upper extremity weakness in activities of daily living. 

Micromechanical models for the stiffness and strength of UHMWPE macrofibrils

Submitted by Hai Dong on

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers have a complex hierarchical structure that at the micron-scale is composed of oriented chain crystals, lamellar crystals, and amorphous domains organized into macrofibrils. We developed a computational micromechanical modeling study of the effects of the morphological structure and constituent material properties on the deformation mechanisms, stiffness and strength of the UHMWPE macrofibrils.

Thermal Response of Mortar Panels with Different Forms of Macro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials: A Finite Element Study

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Use of phase change materials in building envelopes has potential to reduce the temperature fluctuations inside of buildings. This is a booming area of research. Our group has recently published an article in which we studied macro-encapsulated paraffinic materials for this application. The article is available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334370825_Thermal_Response_of_…;
