Li-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical storage systems: Fundamental studies, life-prediction and optimization

This project on Li-ion batteries will focus on experimental, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation-based approaches aimed towards managing electro-chemo-mechanical degradation, capacity fade, and power loss. Moreover, thermal management and safety aspects will be looked at for life-prediction and optimization of Li-ion batteries.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

This research focuses on Modelling, Characterization and design of polymeric nano-composite coatings for Improved Oxygen Barrier Performance using, Clay Nanoplatelets, Graphene etc. and adopting Multi-scale computational modelling approach and Atomistic/Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Carbon Nano-Structured Materials for Aerospace Applications: From Characterization & Multi-scale Modelling to Product Realization- A Holistic Approach

This research focuses on engineering high-performance thermal barrier and protective coating systems through modelling its  deposition processes, study its manufacturing, characterize its microstructure, to feed information into multi-scale constitutive models, multi-scale modelling of its microstructure evolution and Fracture (in service) as well as experimental aspects (including In-situ SEM testing at temperature) of thin and thick film coatings to predict the system-level performance of such coating systems.

This is a friendly reminder to draw your attention to the Symposium on **Soft Materials and Structures** to take place at the upcoming 51th Meeting of the Society of Engineering Sciences (SES) at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN (Oct 1-3, 2014).

We have an exciting, two-year postdoctoral position in the general area of nonlinear acoustic metatmaterials.  We are seeking a motivated, soon to graduate PhD student, or a transitioning postdoc.  Candidates must be presently in the US.  This is a two-year NSF-funded postdoc opportunity at
Georgia Tech in the general area of nonlinear periodic structures and metamaterials. 
Details about the research are below.  An ideal candidate will have
expertise in acoustics of periodic structures/materials.  Some background

I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..

But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.

Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.

Thanks,

Namratha. 

Tsien Hsue-Shen, an expert of mechanics, the “King of Rocketry” of China, lived in US for twenty years long. Iris Chang (by a book in 1995) and Judith R. Goodstein (by a report of a conversation with Lee Alvin DuBridge in 2003) gave accounts of Tsien’s biography.
