Complex structures consisting of intertwined, nominally vertical carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are called turfs. Under uniform compression experiments, CNT turfs exhibit irreversible collective buckling of a layer preceded by reorientation of CNT segments. Experimentally observed independence of the buckling stress and the buckling wavelength on the turf width suggests the existence of an intrinsic material length.

PhD Positions in the area of computational mechanics are immediately available in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University. 

Requirements:

The candidates must have already earned or should soon earn their M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a closely related field.

Strong background in numerical simulations, finite element analysis, and/or computational solid mechanics

Excellent programming skills and experience with high performance computing

It is with great sadness that we post this entry.  Ted Belytschko passed away early this morning, 15 September 2014.  

There is still time to apply the 5-year post-doctoral position at the University of Southampton. We are looking for a talented young researcher to join a group working on the definition of the next generation of high strain rate tests based on ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification (PhotoDyn project). Please apply online before September 30th.

I am teaching this course this semester.  I'll post notes as I write them.  Links to the notes are listed in this post.  I will also notify updates on twitter:  https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo

I wrote these notes as a background for teaching elasticity and plasticity.  Even in this most basic formulation, the dilation of the fluid is viscoelastic.

We are no longer accepting appciations for this position.

Qulified applicants will be contacted soon.

Thank you for your interests again.
