Our group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working on a range of problems, involving mechanics and physics of 2D materials, soft materials and biological systems. We employ methods of continuum mechanics, mathematics, statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of nanomaterials and biology.
Our ice mechanics group at Aalto University (Finland) is looking for a PhD-student to work on offshore wind in cold sea areas. We will use discrete element method to study how drifting sea ice affects an offshore wind farm and how the wind farm affects the sea ice surrounding it.

PhD candidate on Machine Learning applied to Critical Zone sciences
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position in the area of theoretical/computational solid mechanics. Some topics of research interest are elasticity theory, wave propagation, dynamic fracture and friction, and earthquake dynamics. A good background in mathematical modeling, applied mathematics and scientific computing is required.
We invite you to participate in a minisymposium at the 17th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM17) conference that will take place in Albuquerque, NM, USA, from July 23-27, 2023. The title of the minisymposium is "Performance-portable algorithms for unstructured mesh applications” (https://17.usnccm.org/510). Abstracts are due by January 15, 2023.
The unified mechanics theory (UMT) is ab-initio unification of the second law of thermodynamics and Newton's universal laws of motion, in which Boltzmann's second law of entropy formulation governs dissipation & degradation. Hence, the unified mechanics theory does not require any empirical dissipation & degradation potential function or an empirical void evolution function. Material degradation is quantified on the Thermodynamic state index (TSI) axis based on the specific entropy production, which starts at zero and asymptotically approaches one at failure.
