In recent years, superplastic forming (SPF) technology has been used for producing complex sheet components in automotive and aerospace industries. Under the SPF conditions, i.e. low strain rates and elevated temperatures, a superior elongation is achieved.

We are offering an internship (6 months) for Master of science / University of technology student starting march 2019 at CEA-LETI (*) in Grenoble, France.
Topics of the internship are :
Professor Sun’s group (https://web.njit.edu/~htsun/index.html) seeks highly motivated Ph.D candidates (with full financial support) and visiting students/scholars with a strong passion for nanoscience and nanotechnology. Students/scholars with background in multidisciplinary areas of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or any related areas are welcome to contact Prof.
A PhD position is available in the research area of atomistic and multiscale modeling and simulation, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. We welcome highly motivated candidates from diverse backgrounds. Students studying Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and related fields are welcome to apply.
A PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The research project is in the multiscale modeling of damage and fracture. Combined atomistic and continuum mechanics models will be used to study the failure of materials. Candidates should have a strong background and interests in continuum mechanics and have knowledge or intersts of learning of molecular dynamics simulations. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is a big plus. The starting date for this position is August 2018.
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ‘Shock & Blast’ session under Track 1: Dynamic Behavior of Materials. This symposium is part of the 2019 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Peppermill Resort Hotel, Reno NV, USA, June 3-6, 2019).

We are seeking a post-doctoral fellow to examine the biomechanics of arterial corrugations. Arteries are known to have a strongly-corrugated lumen. This is readily evident from histology images of the internal elastic lamina (IEL), which usually appears as a heavily-wrinkled layer. The overall goal of this research is to elucidate the biomechanics of such arterial corrugations.
Wrinkles in layered neo-Hookean structures were recently formulated as a Hamiltonian system by taking the thickness direction as a pseudo-time variable. This enabled an efficient and accurate numerical method to solve the eigenvalue problem for onset wrinkles. Here, we show that wrinkles in graded elastic layers can also be described as a time-varying Hamiltonian system. The connection between wrinkles and the Hamiltonian system is established through an energy method.
