We are looking for a few postdoctoral researchers to work on the following topics at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
1. First-principles calculation/molecular dynamics simulation of two-dimensional materials for energy and environmental applications.
2. Numerical modeling of fracture and fatigue behaviors of metallic/polymeric materials.
Dislocations are topological line defects in three-dimensional crystals. Same-sign dislocations repel according to Frank’ s rule . This rule is broken for dislocations in van der Waals (vdW) layers, which possess crystallographic Burgers vector as ordinary dislocations but feature “ surface ripples” due to the ease of bending and weak vdW adhesion of the atomic layers. We term these line defects “ ripplocations” in accordance to their dual “ surface ripple” and “ crystallographic dislocation” characters.
We would like to invite your contribution to Symposium #18: “Experiments and Constitutive Modelling of Materials in Advanced Forming Processes” in the upcoming ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT2015, to be held in Seattle on June 29-July 1, 2015. Please follow the link below to the conference: http://www.asmeconferences.org/mcmat2015/
A Ph.D. position is available with a start date of Summer 2015 or Fall 2015 at the Computational Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory at Villanova University.
The research project is an NSF funded project focusing on multiscale modeling of bone fracture. Candidates with a strong background and interest in biomechanics, solid mechanics, and computational modeling are encouraged to apply.
Prof. Xuanhe Zhao from MIT will receive the 2015 Journal of Applied Mechanics Award for his paper "Phase diagrams of instabilities in compressed film-substrate systems " (Journal of Applied Mechanics, v 81, article 051003, 2013).
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting you to submit abstracts on ASME McMAT 2015: Symposium 10:
Fundamental Biomechanics and Biomaterials Invention for Translational Medicine.
As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider to attend the symposium entitled "Mechanics of Materials in Energy Technologies" at the occasion of ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, 6.29-7.1, 2015, in Seattle.The conference occurs every four years and covers all aspects of mechanics and materials: theoretical, experimental, and computational.
The description of the symposium is below.
We invite you to submit abstracts to this Simpleware-sponsored minisymposium
Deadline: February 15, 2015
13th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USCNCCM13)
