Postdoc Fellow Position about Energy Design at Virginia Tech
A postdoc position is available immediately for an externally funded project on ocean wave energy in the department of Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech. The objective is to develop and test a novel mechanical solution for converting ocean wave energy into electricity. Prototypes of 5kW - 30KW will be designed, tested, and demonstrated in both labs and in oceans.
Shape Bifurcation of a Spherical Dielectric Elastomer Balloon under the Actions of Internal Pressure and Electric Voltage
Under the actions of internal pressure and electric voltage, a spherical dielectric elastomer balloon usually keeps a sphere during its deformation, which has also been assumed in many previous studies. In this article, using linear perturbation analysis, we demonstrate that a spherical dielectric elastomer balloon may bifurcate to a nonspherical shape under certain electromechanical loading conditions.
Two-year Postdoctoral position on stochastic multi-scale methods
A reliable numerical model is crucial for the design and analysis of modern dynamic engineering systems such as automobiles, helicopters and aircrafts. Uncertainties should be taken into account for credible predictions of quantities of engineering interest of such systems (such as internal stresses, vibration levels). Uncertainties in complex systems include (a) parametric uncertainty (e.g.

EML Special Issue on 3D Assembly by Cutting, Bending and Folding
When patterned with different materials, gradients or cut-outs, thin structures such as sheets and rods can bend or fold either spontaneously or by actuation in response to a force or stimulus to form a pre-designed three dimensional structure. This special issue addresses the design and mechanics of these structures with a special emphasis on programmability and non-linearity.

PhD scholarship in experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades
The Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics, DTU Wind Energy, is seeking a PhD student for an experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades. The PhD scholarship is part of the OPTI_MADE_BLADE project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark. The project targets the development of design and manufacturing solutions for large (>70m) offshore wind turbine blades.
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:
