One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for nonlinear and multiphysics analysis of rationally-designed architected materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr.

The eigenfunction method pioneered by Galin (J Appl Math Mech 40: 981–986, 1976) is extended to provide a general solution to the transient evolution of contact pressure and wear of two sliding elastic half-planes, under the assumption that there is full contact and that the Archard–Reye wear law applies. The governing equations are first developed for sinusoidal profiles with exponential growth rates.

Dear Colleagues:

Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference(EMI2020) and Probalistic Mechanics and Reliability Conference(PMC2020) will be held at Columbia University in the upper west side of New York City, May 26-29, 2020 (https://www.emi-conference.org/).

As a part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent advances in the Mechanics of Superconducting Materials and Structures and Related Materials at Cryogenic Temperatures.

The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northwestern University, directed by Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, is looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher. The selected post-doctoral researcher will develop a project on the multiphysical behavior of geomaterials subjected to direct current electric fields through experimental investigations and theoretical analyses.

You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to 16th International Symposium on Functionally Graded Materials in Hartford, Connecticut, USA, 2020 (Dates: August 9-12, 2020).

All invited to submit an abstract to this conference, one of the best in the field, in the long tradition of BSSM Conferences

8th - 10th September 2020, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK.

The 15th in a series of conferences organised by the British Society for Strain
Measurement showcasing novel and innovative research in Experimental Mechanics.

Abstract submission deadline 28th February 2020

Two Ph.D positions in the area of Mechanics of Materials are immediately available in Professor Yan Li’s research group at Dartmouth College. Projects concern computational modeling of functional composites, failure analysis and big data/machine learning-based material design. Candidates with B.S and/or M.S degree in Solid Mechanics or related areas are encouraged to apply.

A postdoc position in the area of Mechanics of Materials is immediately available in Professor Yan Li’s research group at Dartmouth College. The research topics include but not limited to multiscale modeling, in-situ Digital Image Correlation analysis and big data/machine learning-based material property prediction. Candidates with computational and experimental experience in solid mechanics are encouraged to apply. 

Recently, I guest-edited a special issue of the journal Entropy on Unified Mechanics Theory and related topics. All published papers are available for free download from the link below.

I hope that some of you will find this work interesting. We show that early cracking occurs in slow strain rate tensile testing (SSRT), which compromises the capabilities of this popular experiment for measuring hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility.
