Despite all the efforts that have been put toward the study of plastic deformations in the past 81 years, there is currently no generally accepted theory explaining all aspects of it; finding a theory of work hardening is now as hopeless as ever, and research is aimed at establishing a model instead [1].
A Workshop will be Organized at Instute of Energy and Transport in Petten, the Netherlands, the 25 and 26th of November. The topic of the Workshop is "cross-cutting issues in structural materials R&D for future energy systems ". It will be organised around four cross-cutting issues:
We have open PhD position starting in Spring semester 2016 at the Shiv Nadar University. If any one highly motivated to start research carrer in multidisciplinary research field, please have visit of university webpage (http://snu.edu.in/) to get relevant information.
Spatial pattern formation in stiff thin films on soft substrates is investigated from a multi-scale point of view based on a technique of slowly varying Fourier coefficients. A general macroscopic modeling framework is developed and then a simplified macroscopic model is derived. The model incorporates Asymptotic Numerical Method (ANM) as a robust path-following technique to trace the post-buckling evolution path and to predict secondary bifurcations.
We are currently accepting candidates for 1 Ph.D. and 1 Postdoc positions in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, working on applying smart materials to energy harvesting, sensing and control.
Individuals with very good knowledge in the following area(s) are invited to respond.
o Vibration-based Energy Harvesting
