Submitted by Y_Zhang on

The Biomechanics Lab in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin is recruiting PhD students and Postdoctoral Research Associates starting in Spring 2023 to work in biomechanics and biomedical engineering research.

Discussion of fracture paper #35 - What is Finite Fracture Mechanics?

Submitted by ESIS on

The subject of this blog is a well-written and technically detailed study of thermal crack initiation where an adhesive joint between two dissimilar materials meets a free surface. The method that is used goes under the group designation finite fracture mechanics. The paper is:

"Predicting thermally induced edge-crack initiation using finite fracture mechanics" by S. Dölling, S. Bremm, A. Kohlstetter, J. Felger, and W. Becker. in Engineering Fracture Mechanics 252 (2021) 107808.

Charging/discharging mechanism in Mg3Bi2 anodes for Mg-ion batteries; The role of the spin-orbit coupling

Magnesum ion batteries are an exciting new technology that offer prospects towards significantly higher capacities of electrochemical storage. During discharge, each magnesium 2+ ion which moves through the electrolyte to the cathode results in 2 electrons driven through an electrical circuit, allowing for potentially higher performance in secondary ion batteries. 

Postdoc/PhD positions on multiscale modeling of debris flow and sediment transport at Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, China

Submitted by lujing on

Multiple postdoc and PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate debris flow and sediment transport in fluvial and coastal environments through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.
