Multiple Faculty Positions in the College of Engineering at UW-Madison
The College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks faculty candidates for up to four tenure-track faculty positions in the mechanics of solids and soft materials. Candidates excelling in experiments, theory, computational modeling, or any combination of these approaches are sought. Particular application areas of interest include (but are not limited to) cellular and tissue biomechanics, additive manufacturing, microelectronics, energy production/storage, and response of infrastructure to man-made and natural hazards.
Tensile instability in a thick elastic body
A range of instabilities can occur in soft bodies that undergo large deformation. While most of them arise under compressive forces, it has previously been shown analytically that a tensile instability can occur in an elastic block subjected to equitriaxial tension. Guided by this result, we conducted centimeter-scale experiments on thick elastomeric samples under generalized plane strain conditions and observed for the first time this elastic tensile instability.
Mixed assumed-strain finite element model for laminates
Fibre-reinforced plates and shells are finding an increasing interest in engineering applications; in most cases dynamic phenomena need to be taken into account. Consequently, effective and robust computational tools are sought in order to provide reliable results for the analysis of such structural models. In this paper the mixed assumed-strain laminated plate element, previously used for static analyses, has been extended to the dynamic realm. This model is derived within the framework of the so-called First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT).
Post-doc in Non-linear Dynamics
Employment as an assistant researcher (Post-doc) at the project OPUS from National Centre of Science.
Call for Abstract SEM 2017: Shock and Blast
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the Shock & Blast session under track 1'Dynamic Behavior of Materials'. This symposium is part of the 2017 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and applied Mechanics to be held at Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, USA, June 12-15, 2017.
