Vacancy exists for high calibre one postdoctoral fellow to join the Innovative Design and Engineering Analysis Laboratory at York University, starting immediately.
The position’s primary area of research will focus on characterization and modelling of elastomers subject to high strain rates.
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the co-organizers, I would like to draw to your attention to the mini-symposium #1401 on Computational Geomechanics in the upcoming 15th NS National Congress on Computational Mechanics, to be held at Austin Texas from July 28th to August 1st, 2019. The due date of abstract submission is January 15th, 2019.
Further information can be found at http://15.usnccm.org/1401
The scope of the mini-symposium is listed below.
Thanks,
Steve Sun
Investigations on the fast capacity loss of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have highlighted a rich field of mechanical phenomena occurring during charging/discharging cycles, to name only a few, large deformations coupled with nonlinear elasticity, plastification, fracture, anisotropy, structural instability, and phase separation phenomena. In the last decade, numerous experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted to investigate and model these phenomena.
Two PhD positions are available starting Summer/Fall 2019 in the Manufacturing and Mechanics Lab (MaMeL) within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Professor Pavana Prabhakar. The research topic is in the area of Mechanics of Hybrid Composites, and will involve theoretical/computational multiscale and multiphysics modeling in combination with experimental manufacturing and characterization studies.
Required Background for the Positions
In our recent work, we construct a hybrid light-powered tensegrity robot composed of both hard and soft materials. The tensegrity robot shows great scalability, deployability, impact-mitigation capability, high load capacity, and can be precisely controlled to move on multiterrains. It is an example of combining interesting structures and interesting actuating materials in soft robotics.

One PhD position is available for Fall 2019 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiphysics analysis of architected cellular solids. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.
Multiple PhD positions available at Purdue. The general topic of the project is computational modeling of delivery of injectable medicines.
I am looking for candidates who can join immediately.
Wrinkles are commonly observed in uniaxially stretched rectangular sheets with clamped-clamped boundaries, and can disappear upon excess stretching. Here we explore this wrinkling and restabilization behavior both analytically and numerically. We find that Poisson’s ratio plays a crucial role in the wrinkling and restabilization behavior. Smaller Poisson’s ratio makes later onset of wrinkling, lower amplitude and earlier disappearance of wrinkles.
