The Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration (http://barthelat-lab.mcgill.ca) at McGill University has a new opening for a Post-doctoral researcher with a strong background in mechanics of materials, fracture mechanics and experimental mechanics.
Under tension, confined elastic layers can exhibit various modes of mechanical instabilities, including cavitation, fingering and fringe instabilities. While the cavitation has been extensively studied, the fingering and fringe instabilities have not been well understood, and the relations and interactions of these instabilities have not been explored yet. In this paper, we systematically study the formation, transition, interaction and co-existence of mechanical instabilities in confined elastic layers under tension.
Dear colleagues,
on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirásek in Prague, Czech Republic on 18-22 September 2017.
I tried to explain the concept of state of stress in a simple way, here is the link to the video - state of stress
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position at the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Penn State University. This position at the Laboratory of Biomachinery and Nanomaterials will be developed in the frame of an interdisciplinary project with the objectives of i) studying electromechanical coupling processes at the nanoscale in biological and bio-inspired soft matter systems and ii) designing novel microstructure patterns for metamaterials with applications in active surface control and energy harvesting.
The Solids Mechanics Laboratory, in collaboration with the Thin Films and Interfaces Laboratory, from Ecole Polytechnique is seeking a talented candidate, with a strong background in nanophysics and nanocharacterization, for a postdoctoral position.
The objective of the proposed postdoctoral project is to understand the multiscale damage arising in nanodevices under various types of loadings, in view of proposing lifetime models of the devices.
More details can be found in the attached document.
