There are openings for funded PhD positions in Dr. Yue Zheng's lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Drexel University, starting in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024. We're looking for highly motivated students who have a strong interest in the mechanics of soft materials and metamaterials.
Check Yue ZHENG - Research (google.com) for Dr. Zheng's past work.
A new PhD position is available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Fall 2023. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background on solid mechanics and analytical works are encouraged to apply. Experience with FEM software is a must. Experience with ABAQUS is preferred. Master degree and previous experience in surface mechanics is a plus, but not required.
This article addresses the small-amplitude forced beam vibrations of two coaxial finite-length cylinders separated by a viscous Newtonian fluid. A new theoretical approach based on an Helmholtz expansion of the fluid velocity vector is carried out, leading to a full analytical expression of the fluid forces and subsequently of the modal added mass and damping coefficients. Our theory shows that the fluid forces are linear combinations of the Fourier harmonics of the vibration modes.
A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting immediately in the area of modeling material behavior with emphasis on energetic materials. Candidates with expertise in multiscale techniques and experience with reactive models
are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire must be currently present in the United States. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science. The duration of the appointment is one year.
The Wang Research lab (https://www.wangresearchlab.com) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and the Institute of Materials Science (IMS) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) has multiple Ph.D. positions and postdoc positions with details described below.
Title: Computational modeling of lithium ion battery electrode manufacturing
Research Associate Position in SERB sponsored Project
Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate (RA) in a project sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) under the Core Research Group (CRG) scheme entitled “Dynamic fracture at a non-planar interface” (File No. CRG/2022/004550) sanctioned to Prof. Ranjith Kunnath at Mahindra University. The project involves developing mathematical formulations for dynamic fracture problems and their numerical implementation.
The LESION (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM BIOMECHANICS) Laboratory at the University of Mississippi's Department of Biomedical Engineering is seeking graduate students (PhD, MSc).
The LESION Lab aims to develop imaging and modeling tools for the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of central nervous system disorders, with a particular focus on diseases related to the eye and brain, such as glaucoma and traumatic brain injury.
A point that has been overlooked is whether plastic anisotropy affects the thermomechanical coupling, expressed via the Taylor Quinney coefficient.
In a paper to appear in IJ. Eng. Sc., Gleb Gil Goviazin and I address this issue experimentally. The abstract follows:
An nteresting point that G. Goviazin and I report about in a paper to appear in Int. J. Eng. Science.
