one postdoctoral position at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)

Submitted by KevinGE on

Our group has one postdoctoral position opening supported by Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)-Digital Manufacturing and Design Centre (DManD) for a project involving multimaterial stereolithography for 3D/4D printing.

We are seeking self-motivated postdoctoral researchers with a PhD degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronic engineering orrelated fields.

 

Certification for Damage Tolerance

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

I wonder if anyone in Imechanica follows or deals with Damage Tolerance of Aircraft Structures.  Not having to deal with everyday certification nor having direct experience, I know only what is reported in academic books, but I am confused about what is the standard in industry and certification, assuming there is one!

A thermo-elasto-plastic theory for special Cosserat rods

Submitted by Ajeet Kumar on

A general framework is presented to model coupled thermo-elasto-plastic deformations in the theory of special Cosserat rods. The use of the one-dimensional form of the energy balance in conjunction with the one-dimensional entropy balance allows us to obtain an additional equation for the evolution of a temperature-like one-dimensional field variable together with constitutive relations for this theory. Reduction to the case of thermoelasticity leads us to the well known nonlinear theory of thermoelasticity for special Cosserat rods.
