Dear iMechanicians. I hope that you find the below work interesting - we have developed the first phase field formulation for hydrogen assisted fatigue. Fatigue crack nucleation and growth is predicted for arbitrary geometries, loading histories, and H contents. Virtual S–N curves are also obtained. You can check it here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2021.106521
Call for Abstracts
Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a symposium on
Thermodynamic Modeling of Void Evolution, Fatigue, and Tribo-Wear
at the 19th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, June 19-24, 2022, taking place in Austin, Texas, USA.
If you are working in the field of mechanics and use thermodynamics for modeling, you are cordially invited to submit your abstract to our symposium no later than December 18, 2021. For more information, please visit
We are seeking strongly motivated candidates to fill two Research Fellow positions in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The successful candidate will work on experimental studies in the area of bioprinting, nano-bio interface and bio-hybrid soft robotics. We are particularly interested in candidates with research experience in tissue engineering, drug delivery, mechanobiology and applied mechanics.
Required Qualifications:
A postdoc position in solid mechanics is available immediately at the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse University (SU). The ideal candidate will focus on experimental (70%) and computational (30%) solid mechanics research with applications in soft robotics. The candidate will work under the advising of Profs. Wanliang Shan and Teng Zhang, with funding support mostly from startup funds at SU. To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter to Profs.
The University of Colorado Boulder is seeking faculty applicants to the college of engineering. On behalf of the Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics Group in the Dept. of Civil, Environmental and Architechtural Engineering, we would like to bring to your attention that we are in particular seeking applicants who focus on Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics.
We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral research associate position to work on an exciting project at the intersection of machine learning, computational mechanics, and materials science.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To apply, send a resume, a cover letter, and contact information for at least three references to des@rpi.edu and zhanglucy@rpi.edu
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any specific area of specialization.
A Ph.D. position is available at the University of Parma (Italy) on the topic:
Thermo-mechanical optimization: application to precast building claddings
The Ph.D. studies last 3 years and the student has to do a 6-months
internship in an Italian company during the first two years.
Students from southern Europe with a background in civil engineering are particularly welcome.
The selection procedure is scheduled to be in the period: end of October 2021 - November 2021.
Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc., (AMA) is seeking two Computational Materials Scientists / Engineers to support NASA Ames research center (Mountain View, CA) in developing aerospace materials researches with emphasis on
1. organic materials, polymers, and polymer composites and
2. super-alloys to high-entropy alloy metals, refractory metals and/or refractory ceramics
