The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a PhD student to work on projects related to computational design of civil engineering materials, physical and chemical processes in cementitious systems, and novel applications of functional materials.
Dear Colleagues,
EMI 2018, the 2018 Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Conference will be held at M.I.T. from May 29 to June 1, 2018.
For this annual prime venue for Engineering Mechanics as a core discipline of science-enabled Civil Engineering, ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN (October 15, 2017 – January 31, 2018) at: https://www.openconf.org/emi2018/
The laboratories of Profs. Seetha Raghavan and Ranajay Ghosh at the University of Central Florida, Orlando welcomes applications for a postdoctoral scholar to commence work in Spring 2018 and a PhD student to join the group in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018 as part of a multi-year research project funded by the US Department of Energy.
Please find attached the announcement of a postdoctoral position at the "Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes" (LTDS) UMR CNRS 5513 in ENTPE.
A new tenure-track assistant professor position is available in the group of Aerospace Structures and Computational Mechanics at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Candidates will be considered for a wide range of areas within structural mechanics. More information can be found in the following link:

Applications are invited for a 2 year postdoctoral position with a background in computational solid mechanics. The focus of the project will be on micromechanics of failure in materials surface with applications in tribology and micro-machining. This research opportunity broadly involves development of physics-based computational approaches and systematic simulations for understanding the process of surface failure under different loading condition (e.g.
There are emerging demonstrations that micro- or nano-craters engineered on polymer surfaces can enable enhanced adhesion. In the past, we have developed a framework for quantifying the suction forces produced by isolated macroscopic craters neglecting surface effects. In this paper, we take surface tension into consideration because it plays a significant role in miniature craters on soft polymers. We have derived linear and nonlinear elastic solutions for the elasto-capillary distortion in miniature hemispherical craters whentheyare demoldedfromthe template.
Materials such as metals, metal alloys, ceramics, glass, sands, soils, and others develop very fine regions of concentrated strain or stress when subject to certain loading conditions. These regions are manifested at the micro scale and may lead to the eventual fracture and failure of systems and structures. The ability to model these phenomena is of critical significance in engineering applications.
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to present your research work at the mini-symposium - "Mechanics and Physics of 2D Crystalline Materials" (Session ID: 1203) at the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIII) in New York City from July 22-27th, 2018.
Dear colleagues,
We encourage you to submit your abstracts to minisymposium 1801 of the 13th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (New York City, from July 22 to 27 of 2018). This minisymposium focuses on:
1. recently developed methods for data-driven approaches;
2. data-driven applications to fluids, structures and materials involving (but not limited to) machine learning, uncertainty quantification and/or optimization.
