Dear Colleagues,
You are welcome to submit abstracts to the workshop of "International Workshop on Pattern Formation in Soft Materials" chaired by Prof. Zhigang Suo & Prof. Yibin Fu, which will be held from 1th to 4th of June 2015 in Tianjin, China. More details could be got by clicking on http://www.iwsm2015.org/. Thanks for your attention.
Best wishes,
Yu-Xin XIE
Prof. Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on the modeling of grain structure evolution in the surface layer under friction. The major task of this project is the development of a phase field model for grain/sub-grain structure evolution under friction. It is likely that molecular dynamics and dislocation dynamics simulations would be required as well to obtain a good physical understanding of the process.
Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Computational Materials & Mechanics Laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla):
1. Density functional theory calculations: Advanced High Strength Steels
2. Multi-phase field modeling: Boride Ceramics with Improved Fracture Toughness at Elevated Temperatures
Candidates should have a master's degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, solid-state physics, or applied mathematics. Experience in DFT, MD, or phase field modeling is desired.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Temple University, seeks applications and nominations for: (i) tenure-track lines at the junior level, and (ii) tenured lines at the senior level.
We study some differential complexes in continuum mechanics that involve both symmetric and non-symmetric second-order tensors. In particular, we show that the tensorial analogue of the standard grad-curl-div complex can simultaneously describe the kinematics and the kinetics of motions of a continuum. The relation between this complex and the de Rham complex allows one to readily derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the compatibility of the displacement gradient and the existence of stress functions on non-contractible bodies.
