A PhD scholarship is immediately available at the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, La Trobe University (Melbourne Campus) to develop numerical models to predict the response of steel and composite structures under extreme loading.

Scholarship details

The PhD scholarship offers a stipend of $26,288 per annum up to three years (see http://www.latrobe.edu.au/research/future/costs-scholarships/apa-ltuprs)

In a cooperative research between PoliMi and UIUC we have analyzed the crack growth in Ni-based single crystals:

 Crack growth experiments analyzed with DIC had shown relatively low closure levels respect to polycrystals. Crystal plasticity simulations with WARP3D have been able to simulate closure levels consistent with the experimental ones.

Introduction

The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a graduate student and/or a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of impact behavior of materials at the mesoscale. The position is open for US persons only (US citizenship or Permanent Residency required).
