Presentation of the establishment and the laboratory of reception: CEMEF, which stands for Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux, or Centre for Material Forming, is a leading research centre in the field of material forming. It was created in 1974 and is located in the Sophia Antipolis science park, near Nice in the south of France. It is a research laboratory of Mines ParisTech and has been associated with CNRS, the French National Science Foundation since 1979...

Bones not only support and protect the various organs of our body but provide structure and enable mobility making them the most important structural materials in the human body. While aging, diet and health are known to significantly affect the structural integrity and fracture resistance of bone, fatigue, a significantly more important loading condition, is rarely studied.

The required postdoctoral fellow will play a leading role in performing research leading to high-impact publications in the broad field of materials chemistry/crystal engineering. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to possess strong experimental research skills and ideally some computational materials modelling experience. The right candidate will spend most of their time in the laboratory where he/she will utilize their strong expertise in synthesis (organic or inorganic compounds) and materials chemistry/characterization in order to develop and validate a novel biosurfactant catalyzed mechanochemical remediation method for the green synthetic functionalization and conversion of persistent organic pollutants. In addition to performing research leading to high-impact publications in peer-reviewed materials chemistry journals, the postdoctoral fellow will work as part of a multidisciplinary team of molecular biologists, bioinformatics experts, chemists and chemical engineers in order to facilitate the deliverables of this exciting project.

Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt passed away on 21 June 2018 in Moscow.  He pioneered the cohesive-zone model of fracture, and made lasting contributions to the mechanics of solids and fluids.  We are deeply sorry for the passing of a giant. Here is the text of his speech on receiving the Timoshenko Medal.  Attached are his two papers on the cohesive-zone model.  

The focus of this symposium is to discuss current research and key developments in theory, computational and experimental methods to study and predict the thermo-mechanical properties of materials in application-orientated environments. These environments may include, but are not limited to high temperature, cryogenic temperature, electrical and magnetic field, gas, radiation, chemical, pressure extremes, and humidity.

Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Lab (AM3DP) at Khalifa University, Masdar invites applications for Postdoctoral and Research Associate positions to work on a multi-disciplinary collaborative project. Successful candidate(s) will work at AM3DP lab and will be based in the Mechanical Engineering department at Masdar. These positions warrant regular communication with the international collaborative team: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard Medical School.

Dear Colleagues, 28th International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM-16) will be held in Glasgow, UK,  September 10th-12th, 2018. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a session on Functional and Architectured Materials  

Postdoctoral Associate

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the postdoctoral associate position in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on chemically reactive solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science. The main mission of C-SWARM is to predict shock conditions under which new materials can be synthesized using predictive computational models that are verified and validated with quantified uncertainty on future high-performance Exascale computer platforms.
The successful candidates will be a key part of a team that is developing and implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE’s with emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc.

Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related engineering or science discipline
• Knowledge of computational nonlinear solid/fluid mechanics and/or chemical kinetics and solid-solid phase transformations
• Knowledge of numerical methods for solution of nonlinear PDEs
• Knowledge of C/C++ and UNIX operating system is required
• Experience in parallel programming
Close Date:
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Salary:
Salary will commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Contact:
Interested applicants should send a CV with a cover letter, names of at least three references, and a summary of recent work. All applications should be submitted electronically (paperless process) as a single PDF document to:
