Many Mechanics journals are printed by Elsevier. Unfortunately, I observe huge deterioration of the quality of the printing.

Learn the advantages of 3D inverse design.

This paper presents a mathematical model for an industry-inspired problem of vibration isolation applied to elastic fluid-filled containers. A fundamental problem of suppression of vibrations within a finite-width frequency interval for a multi-scale fluid-solid system has been solved. We have developed a systematic approach employing full fluid-solid interaction and dispersion analysis, which can be applied to finite and periodic multi-scale systems.

One postdoc position is available in professor Abdolrahim’s group in the department of mechanical engineering at University of Rochester ( http://acmml.com/).
