New as of September 21 2023
I have a new Open Postdoc Position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
(Solid Mechanics, Elasticity, Composite Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics)
I would like to share two faculty openings in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
1. Open Rank Faculty Positions in Mechanical Engineering
Areas of interest include (but not limited to): control, robotics and autonomous systems, solid mechanics, manufacturing, and materials. For application, https://apply.interfolio.com/116532
2. Tenure-track Assistant Professor Position - Thermofluids
I'm looking for motivated Ph.D. students to start in Fall 2023.
The Civil Engineering project focuses on the sustainability and resiliency of transportation infrastructure to sea level rise.
The Aerospace Engineering project focuses on the multi-physics modeling of composites and soft polymeric materials exposed to extreme conditions.
Two fully funded PhD positions are available in my group in the Mechanical Engineering department at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Successful applicants are expected to work on the development of innovative high performance computational methods for multi-scale modeling of additive manufacturing process and materials. Interested candidates that meet at least two of following requirements are encouraged to apply:
1. Bachelor's degree (or Master) in Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Materials science, or relevant fields.
Title: Modeling and Simulation Engineer
Category: Full-time position in industry
Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Location: United States, Texas, Sugar Land
Opening Date: 01/01/2023
Intro
Ryan C. Hurley of the Johns Hopkins 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.
We are looking for self-motivated and enthusiastic students with a degree in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with following backgrounds are strongly recommended to apply:
The fracture of concrete and other semi-brittle materials offers some simplifications that simplify the analytical analysis. The simple check that reveals if something broken requires an elastic or an elastic-plastic fracture mechanical analysis by just trying to fit the pieces together sometimes fails. The suggestion is that if they do not fit together, we have an elastic-plastic fracture and if they do we have an elastic fracture. We may jump to the false conclusion that linear elastic fracture mechanics can be applied.
