Abstacrt: A multi-phase field model was developed for non-selective oxidation of metals which captures both the oxidation kinetics and stress generation. Phase field formulation involved a non-conserved phase field variable as the marker for the metallic substrate, oxide scale, and a fluid phase containing oxygen, and a conserved phase field variable representing the concentration of oxygen.

i have presented a new method for the first time to model of metal foams that subtracts stochastic cells from a desired volume and changes it to a foam.

i would like to know if there is any phd position for this?

thank u for your consideration :)

Call for Abstracts:

Symposium on the

Multiscale Analysis of Nano- and Bio-Structures: From Theory to Numerical Implementation

at the

51st Anual SES Conference at Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana, October 1-3, 2014)

One PhD position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University, NY, US.  The research program focuses on the mechanics and multifunctional applications of 3D periodic composite materials including shape memory, acoustic/elastic wave propagation, and energy harvesting. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply. 

Sign up! FREE eSeminar April 24th: Efficient Design #Optimization in Your #CAE Environment #SIMULIA http://bit.ly/designopt

The position is still open for apply.



You will perform research and development work using active/passive vibration control measures to reduce vibration of typical offshore structures. You will also develop new

numerical models, new control algorithm, and optimize the locations of actuator/sensors.  



Requirements:



·               A PhD in Mechanical/Civil Engineering

Hello everyone,

I've proposed a new Stack Exchange site called "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" for people intersted in mechaics related issues.  The current link is  http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/67726/theoretical-and-applied-mechanics?referrer=73mdEQ3M_DdhwHImwznaBQ2

For the proposal to be accepted to go to the next stage the site will need the  following:
