We are pre-screening candidates for an opening for an application engineer at ANSYS Inc. prefereably in Ann Arbor, MI.
The job entails providing advanced technical guidance on various aspects of computational Structural Mechanics with focus on Structural Dynamics to clients in industry and academia.
Professor Milan Jirásek at Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, is searching for a motivated Ph.D. student, who will work on our new ambitious project on non-periodic mechanical metamaterials. Candidates should be interested in and have some previous experience with mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of the mechanical response of materials and structures.
The anomalous propagation of short cracks shows generally exponential fatigue crack growth but the dependence on stress range at high stress levels is not compatible with Paris’ law with exponent m=2. Indeed, some authors have shown that the standard uncracked SN curve is obtained mostly from short crack propagation, assuming that the crack size a increases with the number of cycles N as da/dN=H\Delta\sigma^h where h is close to the exponent of the Basquin’s power law SN curve.
Two Ph.D. positions are available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The positions can be started as early as Jan 23, 2019 if possible. Successful candidates will participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary and collaborative research group in our Blast and Impact Dynamics Lab and Additive Manufacturing for Research and Education Cluster (AMREC) at Ole Miss, and be involved in projects pursuing research in the field of shockwave/high-strain rate impact simulations, material and constitutive modeling, and failure analysis.
Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to take part in the minisymposium “Mechanics of Architectured Materials” in XLVI International Conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics”. The conference will take place in Saint- Petersburg, Russia, 24-29th of June 2019.
ORR EARLY CAREER AWARD

The newly established group for Cyber-physical Simulation at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt in Germany is offering a position for a Research Assistant in Computational Mechanics. Potential research areas include finite element methods, isogeometric analysis, design optimization, multi-scale & multi-physics, data-driven methods and additive manufacturing applications.
Professors Wilkins Aquino and John Dolbow at Duke University are soliciting applications for candidates interested in a postdoctoral fellowship in computational mechanics at Duke University. Applicants are expected to have experience in the development of numerical methods for problems in mechanics. Experience with nonlinear systems of equations, high-performance computing, C++, and/or meshless methods will be viewed favorably.
Shape memory ceramics are a unique family of shape memory materials with a wide variety of applications, such as ultra-high energy dissipation and high-temperature actuation. Along with significant progress in the experimental study of zirconia-based shape memory ceramics in recent years, computational simulations have exhibited powerful capabilities in revealing nano/microstructure-dependent deformation and failure mechanisms in these materials.
A postdoc position is available in the Qiming Wang group at the University of Southern California. The successful candidate is expected to work on the additive manufacturing of architected materials.
The candidates with the following research backgrounds are welcome to apply: (1) polymer synthesis and characterization, (2) photopolymerization-based additive manufacturing (e.g., stereolithography, two-photon, PolyJet, and others), and/or (3) mechanics of smart materials and structures.
Good oral and written English skills are required.
