GEM is actively seeking a candidate with a broad range of experience in computational mechanics and software development. A qualified candidate will be involved in the development, implementation, and enhancement of solution modules in applied mechanics associated with computer aid design, multiscale modeling, meshless damage tracking in bonded and bolted advanced structures, and simulation of manufacturing process of composite materials/structures. A candidate should keep up with changes in technology and apply them in innovative ways.

Unusual couplings in elastic tubes - negative poisson effect and overwinding on being stretched

Negative Poisson effect

elastic tubes
extension-torsion-inflation coupling

We demonstrate intersting extension-torsion-inflation coupling in intrinsically twisted chiral tubes. In particular, we show that by tuning its intrinsic twist and the material constants, such tubes can show negative poison effect on being stretched. Similarly, such tubes can overwind initially when stretched - the same unusual behavior has been reported earlier when a DNA molecule is stretched.

biomechanics

A postdoctoral researcher position is open in my group to work on multi-scale and inverse models for soft tissues and heart valve mechanics. The aim of this research will be to develop models that predict aortic stenosis - the most common valve-related disease that affects 5% of the elderly. The project is funded through the research council of UK, and will provide opportunities of working closely with clinicians and experimental collaborators.

Candidate is required to have:
