This month’s blog focuses on one of the most common kinematic assumptions in the continuum mechanics of finite elasto-plasticity: the multiplicative decomposition . This expression decomposes multiplicatively the deformation gradient of the body into to the elastic () and plastic () deformation tensors; and it will be discussed here in the context of dislocation mediated plastic deformations.
Origins
A fully-funded Ph.D. position is available with a start date of Spring 2016 or Fall 2016 at the Computational Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory (http://www3.villanova.edu/biomech/) at Villanova University which is located in the greater Philadelphia area (http://www.villanova.edu).
A postdoc position is available in the Department of Engineering Technology, University of North Texas-Denton in the fields of crystal resonator modeling and experiment. Candidates should have a PHD degree in engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering and should have some experiences in the following:
(1) In-depth understanding of piezoelectric theory and crystal resonators,
(2) Proven publication record on crystal resonator modelling or experiment,
(3) Fundamental knowledge on tensor analysis and transformation,
After several years of research in the area of additive manufacturing, biofabrication, and additively manufactured biomaterials and implants, I finally put up the first version of the website of my lab. I will gradually improve the website, but there is already links to all publications coming out of my lab in the general area of AM.
Postdoctoral Position in the general area of Computational Mechanics
Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
A strong background in Continuum Mechanics and Mechanics of Materials is required.
A strong interest in C++ and Python programming for large-scale simulation is required, regardless of previous experience.

Dear Colleagues
The condensed version of Advanced Mechanics of Materials book in now posted on my web page for you to review. You can go directly to it using this link. I welcome comments, suggestions, and corrections.
Quantitative characterization of interface adhesion and fracture properties of thin film materials is of fundamental and technological interests in modern technologies. Sandwich beam specimens used in fracture mechanics techniques, such as four-point bending and double-cantilever beam have been widely adopted, including the semiconductor industry.
