Submitted by Hamid.Akbarzadeh on
job

One PhD position is available for Fall 2018 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research is on the field of  multiscale mechanics of Advanced Nonlinear Architected Materials. Theoretical, computational, and experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiscale multiphysics analysis of architected cellular materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.

Regarding to the effective elastic tensor form of a double layered perforation panel

Submitted by SHEN Zhiyuan on
Forums
Computational Mechanics Forum

I am studying the effective material property of a double-layered perforation (Fig. 1). The perforation rate is different on the two layers, which are connected via arrays of pillars. Both perforation and pillars are closer packed in y-direction (the beam length direction) than the x-direction (the beam width direction) to render an anisotropic in plane material property. Fig. 1 (b) shows a unit cell of such a periodic perforation.

I am studying the vibrational behaviour of a microbeam made of a polymer (Fig. 1). The beam consists of a paddle part and a tapered part and is fixed at the tapered end.

Metastable phase transformation and deformation twinning induced hardening-stiffening mechanism in compression of silicon nanoparticles

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

silicon nanoparticles; phase transformation; deformation twinning

The compressive mechanical responses of silicon nanoparticles with respect to crystallographic orientations are investigated by atomistic simulations. Superelastic and abrupt hardening-stiffening behaviors are revealed in [110]-, [111]- and [112]-oriented nanoparticles. The obtained hardness values of these particles are in good agreement with the experimental results. In particular, [111]-oriented particle is extremely hard since its hardness (∼33.7 GPa) is almost three times greater than that of the bulk silicon (∼12 GPa).
