We are looking for highly motivated and creative PhD researchers to study electromechanical transduction at the nanoscale. It is well known that by deforming some materials (piezoelectrics) electricity can be produced. What is a relatively new discovery is that by bending any dielectric at the nanoscale, significant electrical signals can also be generated. This is the so-called flexoelectric effect.
Dear all
Our group has recently published an article on experimental and numerical analysis of failure modes in concrete repair systems due to ongoing reinforcement corrosion.
Abstract:
Positions are available to work in cutting edge areas of theoretical and computational solid mechanics. Interested students can later convert this to a formal M.Tech or PhD program.
The candidate will officially be associated with the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India.
