MetaLab Research Group within the Cluster of Excellence Living, Adaptive and Energy-autonomous Materials Systems (livMatS) opens up to two Ph.D. positions for the project associated with fabrication, characterization, and statistical analysis of mechanical metamaterials.

Candidates with background in mechanical engineering, materials science, statistics, or similar fields are welcome to apply.

Dear colleagues,

Our work on 'Multiscale analysis of elastic waves in soft materials: From molecular chain networks to fiber composites' is published in International Journal of Mechanical Sciences.

In this paper, we have examined:

Dear Colleagues,

We recently published a review article on "Elastic instabilities, microstructure transformations, and pattern formations in soft materials" in Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science.

Dear Colleagues,

Our paper on elastic instabilities in soft fiber composites recently got published in International Journal of Engineering Science. In this paper, we explore how the stiffening behavior of composites phases influences the development of instabilities and associated buckling patterns. To do that, we use non-Gaussian hyperleastic  model to define the constitutive behavior of phases.
