Dear all,

In our department there is a vacancy for a tenure-track assistant professor in robotics in structural engineering. More details and the application procedure can be found here: https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/details?jobId=9028&jobTitle=Assistant%20Professor%20Robotics%20in%20Structural%20Engineering 

Many biological structures exhibit intriguing morphological patterns adapted to environmental cues, which contribute to their important biological functions and also inspire material designs. Here, we report a chiral wrinkling topography in shrinking core–shell spheres, as observed in excessively dehydrated passion fruit and experimentally demonstrated in silicon core–shells under air extraction. Upon shrinkage deformation, the surface initially buckles into a buckyball pattern (periodic hexagons and pentagons) and then transforms into a chiral mode.

For orthotropic plane strain problems, the various existing calculation methods are very complex. The orthotropic plane strain problem with cracks have solved by using a new element model, and compared with the finite element method, it can be found that the displacements and the stresses of the two methods are in good agreement.
