I have three fully funded positions to allow you to work towards a PhD in the following areas:

A video lecture on a newly developed theory to determine material properties from observed kinematic data, e.g. digital image correlation data. This may be useful for a range of investigations into heterogenous mechanical properties. 

There is an opening for a funded PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Southampton starting Fall 2023 or Spring 2024, under the supervision of Dr. Benjamin Cameron. This will involve the development of novel theoretical/computational methods to extract material properties from digital image correlation (or digital volume correlation) data in complex settings. See below for a more detailed description of the project. 

I would like to inform the fracture mechanics community of an asymptotic solution for the steady-state mode I crack problem for an elastic / perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditons.  See the following article in ZAMP, i.e., 

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.

Position title: Postdoctoral researcher in physics 

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.
