Hi, iMechanica

Submitted by Weijie Liu on

Congratulations! This is the 1st entry.

Let me start with the self-introduction. 

Identity : A first-year Doctoral student of Dalian University of Technology.

Major : Solid Mechanics

Now, the simulation of sheet metal forming is focused on. 

Journal Club Theme of March 2013: Interfacial Adhesion of Graphene - Measurements and Analysis

Submitted by Rui Huang on

Several recent papers have reported measurements of adhesion energy between graphene and other materials (e.g., Si/SiOx and copper) [1-3]. Like thin films, many experimental methods may be adopted to measure the interfacial properties of graphene, such as the pressurized blister test [2] and the double-cantilever beam test [3]. The challenges lie in the handling of atomically thin membranes and analysis/interpretation of the data.

Postdoctoral Research Associate at University of Pennsylvania :: Modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials

Submitted by Dibakar Datta on

 A postdoctoral position with primary focus on molecular dynamics simulations is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy .  We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials. The ideal candidate will have a background in materials science/computational physics with expertise in molecular dynamics simulations with LAMMPS or other packages.  This individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in complimentary experimental investigations, both at Penn and our collaborators in industry. 

Ph.D. Position on Magnetorheological Elastomers at Ecole Polytechnique, France

Submitted by Kostas Danas on

One Ph.D. position is now available starting October 2013 on magnetorheological elastomers in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique, France. The potential student will work on the development of new experimental procedures and high fidelity numerical models for the understanding and constitutive description of microstructured magnetorheological solids. Students with strong interest in new coupled problems and strong background in engineering, physics or/and mechanics are encouraged to apply.
