Dear all,
Our group at Delft University of Technology has recently published a study on Deformation and Fracture of 3D printed disordered lattice materials. In the study, we used experiments and numerical simulations to study these effects. The full paper can be accessed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329146684_Deformation_and_frac…;

I am interested in studying the method of modeling the interface bechaviors in the microstructure of porous metallic materials recently, i am a newer in this field, and cannot understand the content of the papers in this field, so i wanna find some books or literatures about the basic knowledge of the micromechanics of interface. Does anyone have a good recommendation?
The Shankar Research Group at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting March 2019. The position’s primary area of research will focus on design and integration of flexible electronics with responsive polymers. A background in microfabrication and design of electromechanical systems is preferred.

Two positions for PhD or M.A.Sc in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) are open for applicants. The positions are in the field of:
1- Development of materials with rich microstructures including gradient nano-grained materials in lightweight metals.
2- Development of Multiscale & Multiphysics techniques for modeling materials at the nanoscale including ab-initio techniques and molecular dynamics.
An interesting paper by VL Popov which suggests many problems of tribology are still very far from being remotely solved. Despite the very detailed theories for example on rough contact using fractal surfaces on which we have debated mainly academically , there is not a single theory for any quantitative prediction of friction coefficient which can vary by 1 order of magnitude and its dependence on many variables, let alone wear coefficient which can vary up to 7 orders of magnitude. What is left to do, other than measure? Is tribology bound to be in practice just an
Dear iMechanica,
We are pleased to present Cast2cloud (http://cast2cloud.com), the first and only web-based platform for interacting with Cast3M. The latter is a finite element software developed by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) for mechanical and thermal simulations. It is available free of charge for teaching and research. For further information, please refer to http://www-cast3m.cea.fr/.
