PhD Position on Origami and Kirigami Inspired Material Systems at Clemson University
Fully funded PhD positions are available at the Dynamic Matter Group in Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Clemson University: https://www.clemson.edu/cecas/departments/me/.
PhD position - Development of mesoscale hydro-chemo-mechanical (HMC) modeling approach for concrete deterioration.
Objectives
The main aim of this project is to develop a robust computational framework for investigating the hydro-chemo-mechanical aspect of concrete carbonation at meso-scale.
CMMM 2019: The 2nd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials
CMMM2019, 29 - March 2019, Suzhou, China
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Chair (Prof. K.M. Liew), I am very pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials will be held from 29 - 31 March 2019 in Suzhou, China.
Postdoctoral and PhD students Position on Acoustic Metamaterials at University of Missouri
Composite Materials & Dynamics Laboratory (http://cmdl.missouri.edu/) at University of Missouri develops innovative solutions for Solid Mechanics and Structured Materials, in particular the new frontiers of structural dynamics, wave propagation, micromechanics, topological and quantum mechanics, smart materials and dynamical behaviours of multi-functional materials, both man-made and formed naturally, and understanding relationship between microstructures and material macroscopic properties.
The Relation Between Mindlin's Strain Gradient and Eringen's Nonlocal Linear Elasticity Theories
Here are some definitions which I have in my mind about the hierarchy of field theories of any kind. Please read them and correct me if there is any misunderstanding. Then I shall raise two questions based on this model of thought about the Mindlin's strain gradient and Eringen's nonlocal linear elasticity theories.
Definition 1. Two field theories are the same if and only if the field equations of one can be obtained from the other.
Post-Doctoral Position in Molecular Dynamics Simulations and/or Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Simulations of High Entropy Alloys at Johns Hopkins University
We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research position in the Computational & Experimental Materials Engineering Laboratory, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University starting immediately.
The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until position is filled. This will be a one year position renewable depending on performance.
The candidate must have:
Thermally induced residual stress
The residual stress that I am talking about is mostly tensile and thermally induced. The stress is observed on the surface only upto a very small depth in the thickness direction. Is this kind of stress significantly damaging from a fatigue perspective?
Also, what would be effect of the residual on the strength?
Is it possible that some sort stress relaxation could occur and the residual gets dissipated?
Simpleware Talk at U.S. SkyScan Micro-CT Workshop, Aug 23-24 2018
Kimpton Hotel Monaco, Philadelphia, PA
The U.S. SkyScan Micro-CT Workshop, hosted by Micro Photonics and Bruker MicroCT, brings together micro-CT imaging experts and users to share knowledge and experience in advancing methods and technology for micro-CT. The event will provide interactive sessions, as well as instructive presentations on computed tomography, analysis techniques, SkyScan products, and preparing SkyScan image data with Simpleware Software.
Synopsys at the Micro-CT Workshop
Membrane, bending, peak, total stress
What is the significance of these stresses from strength and fatigue perspective. Are these stresses still relevant for results interpretation? Is there a possibility of misinterpretation when using these in gas turbine assesments (or complex designs with thermal and mechanical loading)?
