npj Computational Materials is an online only, fully open access journal dedicated to publishing original results, review articles, and editorials on materials by design and integrated computational and experimental materials research.
Topics of interest to the journal include, but not limited to the following:
I'm Xiaoliang Fang from BeiHang University, China, and I am applying a doctoral study.
Yong Zhu, of North Carolina State University, will become the new Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club starting from Jan. 1, 2016. His research addresses basic and applied problems at the intersection of solid mechanics and micro/nano-technology, which has been recognized by a list of awards, including the 2015 ASME Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Award.

... We do not assume any of those words make any kind of sense, though we do make certain assumptions about how much time the reader has on her hands and what kind of sense of humor she has.
I urge you to read the rest of the dissertation.
A fully funded PhD studentship is available, the aim of the project is to design, manufacture and test a range of lattices on the micron to millimetre scale. There is scope for predicting the mechanical response such as strength, toughness and fatigue resistance of two inter-penetrating lattices with application to automotive crash resistance, for example.
Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) a 1st class degree (and preferably a Masters degree) from an Engineering or Materials background.
