Hi All,

We have published an interesting short article on void growth in dual phase titanium alloys. More detailed results are currently under review and will be reported in near future.

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) Portuguese National Committee we have the pleasure to extend a warm welcome to everyone planning to attend the

3^rd International Conference on Structural Integrity (ICSI2019)

The third ICSI conference will take place on the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal on 2 – 5 September 2019:

In the framework of the ERC project FricLess, there are various openings at the University of Padova in Italy: one for a PhD student (three years) and three for postdoctoral researchers.

The project involes building a multiscale model for contact, friction, and solid lubrication.

We are seeking for candidates that have experience with numerical simulations of the type of molecular dynamics, dislocation dynamics, crystal plasticity, finite elements.

Dear Colleagues:  the 56th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be hosted by Washington University in St. Louis on October 13-15, 2019. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a Symposium (7.3) to address recent experimental, computational, theoretical and manufacturing advances in the research area of Mechanics and Physics of Soft Materials.

I came across a very interesting paper in Engineering Fracture Mechanics about a year ago. It gives some new results of stochastic aspects of fatigue. The paper is:

”On the distribution and scatter of fatigue lives obtained by integration of crack growth curves: Does initial crack size distribution matter?” by M. Ciavarella, A. Papangelo, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Vol 191 (2018) pp. 111–124.

Our group is part of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Techion – Israel Institute of Technology, located in Haifa, Israel.

We employ theoretical and experimental tools to understand the relations between the micro-structure and the macroscopic response of soft materials. Materials of interest include electro-active polymers, 3D printed lattice structures, biopolymers, and gels.

Ph.D. research positions are available immediately in the Advanced Materials Research Lab at the University of Miami to perform NSF-funded research in the area of bio-inspired self-healing of cementitious materials. Highly motivated applicants are encouraged to send a CV to Dr. Ali Ghahremaninezhad via email at a.ghahremani [at] miami.edu (a[dot]ghahremani[at]miami[dot]edu).

The University of Limerick in the Republic of Ireland is seeking to recruit a: 

Lecturer/Lecturer below the bar in Mechanical & Aerospace Design Engineering
