Optomechanics of Soft Materials

Ruobing Bai and Zhigang Suo

We are looking for three postdoctoral researchers to work at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 

1. Two researchers are to work on water remediation and desalination using computational methods at the atomistic level.  

2. One researcher is to work on fracture behavior of weldments using computational methods at the microstructural leve.

Peridynamic theory of solids from the perspective of classical statistical mechanics

Mechanics of wrinkle/ridge transitions in thin film/substrate systems

Lihua Jin, Atsushi Takei,  JohnW.Hutchinson

To improve further computational tools for fracture, we need a 

talented phd. We are developping transition models from damage

to fracture  for several type of materials (quasi-brittle and ductile).

The position will be open until filled. Please send me your CV

if you are interested. 

The theoretical framework is the Thick Level Set model for damage (TLS)

and the numerical implementation uses level sets and the extended

finite element  method (X-FEM).

The research team currently gathers 9 persons.
