Just finishing your PhD and looking for an exciting project that involves hyperelasticity and optimization applied to the design of soft robotics? Have a look at this 2-year postdoc position at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU):
Special Issue "The Physics of Joining and Additive Manufacturing"
Link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/80839160HW
Dear Colleagues,
2 funded PhD positions on modelling of additive manufacturing are available at CEMEF, MINES Paris, France. One position focuses on the coupling work between grain growth and anisotropic mechanical behavior during process simulation, another one aims to predict the evolution of the distribution of precipitates according to the local thermal history of the material. Interested applicants should send their CV to Dr. Yancheng ZHANG: yancheng.zhang [at] minesparis.psl.eu.
Research Associate in Bridge Engineering
University of Sheffield - Faculty of Engineering - Department of Civil and Structural Engineering
Are you interested in developing next generation modelling techniques for masonry arch bridges, which continue to form a crucial part of our transport infrastructure?
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials, architected solids and wave physics. Current topics of interest include: Topological metamaterials; Tunable and programmable metastructures; Mechanics of cellular multilayer materials; Multiphysical interactions of vibrating metastructures.
S-Lab (https://sites.ji.sjtu.edu.cn/jaehyungju/) is looking for a highly qualified postdoc to work in mechanical metamaterials, 4D printing, and soft robotics. The ideal candidate will conduct independent and supervised research, perform tasks on experimental, theoretical, and modeling/simulation projects, write reports, submit deliverables to sponsors, publish papers, lead collaborative projects, and supervise graduate and undergraduate students and proposal preparation.
We introduce a generalized methodology to uncover all mechanical couplings in 2D lattice geometries by obtaining the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point groups of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation reveals eight mechanical coupling effects in planar solids, four of which are discovered for the first time in the mechanics' community.
The College of Engineering at Boston University has embarked on a bold new strategic plan that will pursue excellence and impact along convergent themes: (1) Intelligent, Autonomous and Secure Systems, (2) Synthetic Biology, Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology, (3) Energy, Sustainability and Climate, (4) Materials by Design, (5) Photonics and Optical Systems, and (6) Neuroengineering, Neuroinformatics, and Neuroscience.
