Two postdoctoral positions are
available in the area of applied mechanics/mechanical design at the National
University of Singapore, Singapore. Experiment
experience is a plus. One may focus on energy harvesting using soft active
materials, while the other may focus on soft robots.
Hi, Everyone,
A postdoctoral research position is
available at the Earth Sciences Institute, at the Hebrew University,
Jerusalem, Israel, focusing on understanding basic processes of
submarine landslide triggering, with applications to the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea, offshore Israel. The work will involve numerical
and/or physical modeling, analyzing the mechanisms of submarine
slope-failure. Applicants should send their CV and intention letter
including names of 3 referees, directly to the PIs: Prof. Einat Aharonov

While reading the article
"An alternative approach to finite plasticity based on material isomorphisms " (1999) by Prof. Bertram, the first thing that attracted my attention was the quote [by Prof. Naghdi (late)]:
“there is some degree of disagreements on nearly all of the main constitutive ingredients and features of plasticity in the presence of finite deformation... Some of the issues of disagreements are of basic and fundamental importance.”
I am trying to model flexure of a material with softening stress-strain response. How can I model that! I know Abaqus can not handle negative tangent modulus. And, how do I simulate damage in the beam!
Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated!
