Funded PhD Fellowship in Multiscale Computational Mechanics of Bone Fragility in T2 Diabetes
The Biomechanics Research Centre (BioMec) at NUI Galway is seeking applications for a funded-PhD position in Multiscale Mechanics of Bone Fragility in Type-2 Diabetes for a project funded by the European Research Council Starter Grant Scheme, under the supervision of Dr. Ted Vaughan (Google Scholar).
a response (dedicated to John Hutchinson) from Bob McMeeking, M.Ciavarella, G Cricrì and KS Kim on the MCD paradox on sliding and adhesive sphere ---- mixed mode fracture mechanics as applied to contact mechanics
Here you find a response to the MCD paradox from McMeeking, M.Ciavarella, G.Cricrì, and KS Kim. Here.
The paper is dedicated to number one of Mechanical engineering in the world, John Hutchinson from Harvard.
Curvature suppresses tensile wrinkles
Transverse wrinkles usually occur in a uniaxially tensile elastic membrane and will be smoothed upon excess stretching. This instability-restabilization response (isola-center bifurcation) can originate from the nonlinear competition between stretching energy and bending energy. Here, we find a crucial factor, the curvature, which can control effectively and precisely the wrinkling and smoothing regimes. When the sheet is bent, the regime of wrinkling amplitude versus membrane elongation is narrowed, with local wrinkling instability coupled with global bending.

The remarkable mechanical properties of crumpled materials
Mechanics of crumpled materials
Crumpled materials exhibit unusual and as yet unexpained mechanical properties. Through the surprisingly complex morphologies of facets and ridges formed in the crumpling of paper into a ball or densser materials, very high strength to weight ratios can emerge.
Postdoc Opening in Computational Materials Science at Rutgers University
The microMechanics of Deformation Research Group (mMOD) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University is seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate to participate in a pair of collaborative projects with a Department of Energy National Laboratory. The projects are focused on using discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations to understand dislocation patterning in deformed metals, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understanding crack initiation in hydrogen-affected steels.
