The unified mechanics theory (UMT) was used to develop a model to predict the fatigue life of pre-corroded steel samples with BCC structure. Details of the experimental validation are also provided.
3 PhD Research Assistant positions in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno starting Spring 2023 or Fall 2023. The first position is on computational modeling of deformation in nanocrystalline metals, the second on modeling stress corrosion cracking in nuclear materials, the third position is on mdeling deformation in metal/metallic glass composites. Applicants with a background or interest in these research fields are preferred.

It is with great sadness that we post this entry. Keh-Chih Hwang passed away in Beijing this afternoon, 6 December 2022.
A research fellow position is available at University of Pavia in Italy starting February-May 2023. The position is part of a project in collaboration with Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet [at] unipv.it).
Thin films usually exhibit instabilities and yield intricate wrinkles when two clamped ends are twisted. Here, we explore the wrinkling behavior and pitch-fork bifurcation of twisted thin films experimentally and theoretically. To quantitatively predict the post-buckling evolution of twist-induced wrinkling morphology, we develop a refined finite-strain plate model derived from 3D field equations and then solve it by using the finite element method with COMSOL. We examine the effects of aspect ratios and pre-tension on the wrinkling profile.
Two PhD positions (Spring or Fall 2023) are available in Packaging Dynamics area in the School of Packaging at Michigan State University.
