Dear Colleagues,
2 funded PhD positions on modelling of additive manufacturing are available at CEMEF, MINES Paris, France. One position focuses on the coupling work between grain growth and anisotropic mechanical behavior during process simulation, another one aims to predict the evolution of the distribution of precipitates according to the local thermal history of the material. Interested applicants should send their CV to Dr. Yancheng ZHANG: yancheng.zhang [at] minesparis.psl.eu.

Current topics of interest include: Topological metamaterials; Tunable and programmable metastructures; Mechanics of cellular multilayer materials; Multiphysical interactions of vibrating metastructures.
S-Lab (https://sites.ji.sjtu.edu.cn/jaehyungju/) is looking for a highly qualified postdoc to work in mechanical metamaterials, 4D printing, and soft robotics. The ideal candidate will conduct independent and supervised research, perform tasks on experimental, theoretical, and modeling/simulation projects, write reports, submit deliverables to sponsors, publish papers, lead collaborative projects, and supervise graduate and undergraduate students and proposal preparation.
We introduce a generalized methodology to uncover all mechanical couplings in 2D lattice geometries by obtaining the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point groups of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation reveals eight mechanical coupling effects in planar solids, four of which are discovered for the first time in the mechanics' community.
