Experimentally informed multi-scale modelling of mechanical properties of quasi-brittle nuclear graphite

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

Our group has just published a paper on experimentally-informed multi-scalle modelling of nuclear graphite in the journal of Engineering Fracture Mechanics. It can be of interest to anyone working on quasi-brittle fracture and materials such as graphite, concrete, rock, shale, or similar. It can be downloaded at:http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013794415007080

Regards,

Branko

Postdoctoral Associate Position at the Department of Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University

Submitted by sabedi on

A postdoctoral associate position is available at Department of Petorleum Engineering, Texas A&M University in the area of resistivity characterization of geomaterials. Experimental characterization at nano-scale will be combined with modeling techniques to get insight into electrical properties of geomaterials at fundamental length scales. Expected qualifications:A Ph.D. in materials science, civil engineering, geophysics or a related field is required.

Internship (6 months, French Riviera) : Multiobjective and Multidecision algorithms for sustainable design of buildings

Submitted by ahabbal on

Scientific context:
Building industry has to face more and more stringent requirements, including energy performance, structural safety and environmental impact. To this end, new materials and new technologies have emerged to help the construction firms meet these requirements. At the same time, many different teams or firms interact, most of the interaction being of non-cooperative nature.
