PhD/MS position at AMMI Lab, University of Hawaii at Manoa Fall 2020
One PhD / MS research position is available in Advanced Manufacturing and Medical Instruments (AMMI) Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaii at Manoa for Fall 2020.
The research program focuses on robotic (autonomous/automatic) smart needle insertion for therapeutic or diagnostic cancer interventions. The research involves robotic instrumentations, programing, closed loop feedback control, image processing, etc. For more information go to: https://uhatmanoa.wixsite.com/ammi
Riemannian and Euclidean Material Structures in Anelasticty
In this paper we discuss the mechanics of anelastic bodies with respect to a Riemannian and a Euclidean geometric structure on the material manifold. These two structures provide two equivalent sets of governing equations that correspond to the geometrical and classical approaches to nonlinear anelasticity. This paper provides a parallelism between the two approaches and explains how to go from one to the other. We work in the setting of the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient seen as a non-holonomic change of frame in the material manifold.

Novelis and Georgia Tech Establish Novelis Innovation Hub
Atlanta-based Novelis Inc. and Georgia Tech have announced a new collaboration to establish the Novelis Innovation Hub at Georgia Tech. The company has committed $2.5 million to initiate research, faculty, student, and educational program support. The collaboration will promote basic and translational research, innovative business models, and related educational endeavors at Georgia Tech and will serve as a cross-functional hub connecting Novelis’ technical and business innovators with Georgia Tech’s students and faculty.
Postdoctoral Position Available at Khalifa University: Characterizing the Failure Modes of Flexible Skin for Morphing Wings
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the aerospace department at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The research project focuses on characterizing the failure modes of flexible skin and their supporting structures for morphing wing applications. Those with a background in aerospace structures, composites material, fatigue and damage accumulation, morphing wings, and compliant/flexible structures are encouraged to apply.
Application submittal information:
