PhD in Fusion Energy

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

Just a short note before the weekend to let you know that I am offering 4 year PhD topics in advanced modelling & simulation starting in September via the Nuclear Fusion doctoral training network.  One of the topics is to combine the cellular automata finite element method with uncertainty quantification to predict the lifetime of neutron irradiated components in fusion reactors. The deadline for applications is the end of next week. Studentships are available for UK/EU students.

Pressure sensors have attracted tremendous attention because of their potential applications in the fields of health monitoring, human–machine interfaces, artificial intelligence, and so on. Improving pressure‐sensing performances, especially the sensitivity and the detection limit, is of great importance to expand the related applications, however it is still an enormous challenge so far. Herein, highly sensitive piezoresistive pressure sensors are reported with novel light‐boosting sensing performances.

Advances in the mechanics of soft materials: elastic dissipaters and topological adhesion

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

This afternoon I gave a Harvard Applied Mechanics Colloquium. Here is the abstract, along with the slides.  The slides themselves just serve as an outline of ideas.  You can find original papers on our group website.

Cambridge University - Research Assistant/Associate in Mechanics of Multilattices (Theory)

Submitted by Hilde F on

lattice material
finite element

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, to conduct research into Mechanics of lattice materials. The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge Cambridgeshire, UK. There is an opportunity to invent interpenetrating lattice materials in order to design SOFT and HARD meta-materials of any given stiffness, strength and toughness. The actuation response due to seepage of a liquid through the lattice needs to be modelled by making use of experimental results from within the group.
