Submitted by v.tagarielli on

Applications are invited for a Ph.D. studentship in the Departments of Aeronautics. The research project will be supervised by Dr V.L. Tagarielli and Prof F. Montomoli and it will involve collaboration with Baker Hughes (Florence, Italy) and the Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation.

New book: Modeling Failure and Fracture of Soft Solids and Fluids

Submitted by Konstantin Volokh on

Nonlinear continuum mechanics allows solving problems beyond the scope of the theory of linear elasticity for solids and the Navier-Stokes theory for fluids. The success of the nonlinear continuum mechanics would be impossible, of course, without its happy marriage to numerical methods that flourished after the computer revolution. Nowadays, the nonlinear continuum approach is used to model fracture.

Open Postdoc on computational methods and inverse problems

Submitted by Andrew J. Gross on
A Postdoctoral Fellow is sought to fill an immediate opening in the Gross Materials Lab at the University of South Carolina to work on a DARPA funded project. The postdoc will have the opportunity to attend regular meetings with DARPA and other DOD program managers. The research is focused on extracting yield surfaces from data rich full-field experimental information by solving an inverse problem.

Postdoc at Oxford on the mechanics of solid state batteries

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

We are hiring a postdoc to work on the mechanics of solid state batteries. The postdoc will be based at the Mechanics of Materials Lab (Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford) and work co-supervised by Profs Laurence Brassart and Emilio Martinez-Paneda. A close collaboration with experimentalists in the Pasta Group (Materials Department) is also expected.
