Zheng Jia, of Zhejiang University, will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.
There are multiple EPSRC-funded PhD studentships in my research group and especially the following topics at the University of Kent, UK.
There are also possible opportunities to work with my industrial partners and overseas collaborations.
Dissipation Mechanisms in Nano/Mesoscale Tribological Systems, ICTP Trieste 6-9 April 2020
This international ICTP conference, extending the series of previous ones on"Trends in Nanotribology" (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017)
is co-sponsored by the University of Basel and Tsinghua University Beijing. It will collect the world community -- including researchers from emerging countries -- active in nanoscale friction and dissipation, with a mix of theory, simulation and experiment.

A four-year fully-funded PhD studentship in the optimisation of 3D woven composites at Durham University, with applications due by 1 February 2020. If you are interested in simulations and the creation of non-vibrating components, check the links below for more details:
An NIH-supported PhD position is available in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Instituite (WPI). Our lab focuses on the health of the central nervous system, with projects on traumatic brain injury and surgical image guidance of spinal surgical procedures. The student will have freedome to focus either on computational biomechanics, experimetnal biomechanics, or medical imaging, or a combination of these elements. Our lab works closely with other engineers and clinicians. Students with a minimum of GPA of 3.5 are encouraged to apply.
The Advanced Composites Research Group, within the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Queen's University Belfast has a PhD opening in the computational modelling of fibre-reinforced composite materials. Detailed project description, eligibility criteria and how to apply are given at the following links:
