One Ph.D and one Post-doc positions are open now in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (Mechanics, Biomimetics and 3D/4D Printing Research Lab) at Northeastern University.

The research projects are related to computational and/or experimental mechanics of new mechanical metamaterials, bio-inspired materials, and 3D/4D printing. Candidates with background in solid and structure mechanics, materials science and engineering, Finite element simulations, mechanical experiments etc. are all welcome to apply.

PiERG is now seeking applications for the role of Postdoc. The position will be a fixed term contract for a period of 12 months.

Applications by MTU eRecruitment systems only. Applications will not be accepted in any other format. Please log on to www.mtu.ie/vacancies

Dear iMechanicians, I hope that you find the paper below of interest. Glaciology is a challenging and exciting area and I think there is a need to bring more mechanics and physics into it

he NVH and Experimental Mechanics Laboratory (NVHEM) at Kettering University invites applications for a visiting research scientist position to help in projects related to NVH, structural health monitoring, material modeling, and finite element analysis. Some of these projects are sponsored by major automakers in Michigan

A postdoctoral position will be available at University of Pavia in Italy starting January 2023. The position will be part of an ERC Starting project. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet [at] unipv.it).

May a double restabilization of the trivial path occurr at monotonically increasing compression force?

May movable constraints be exploited to attain target force–displacement curves?

We provide a positive answer to both of these questions in our paper: Koutsogiannakis, Bigoni, Dal Corso. Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints, European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids (2022)
