PhD Opportunity—Hygro-thermo-mechanical Analysis of Layered Composites

Submitted by Zia Javanbakht on

Overview. Two full-time PhD positions on "Hygro-thermo-mechanical Analysis of Layered Composites" are available. The successful candidate will be working within a team to develop analytical/numerical solutions for the hygrothermal response of composites or similar layered products. The main idea is to work on orthotropic layers stacked arbitrarily.  

Minimum Requirements. High GPA (>85%) and a track record of high quality relevant publications (minimum one first-author journal paper).

Postdoctoral Position Opening at Stanford University

Submitted by Adrian Lew on

Profs. Adrian Lew and Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on 3D printing of refractory metal alloys.  The project will involve both computational modelling and experimental investigations. Candidates with background on experimental techniques will be preferred, since they will complement the current expertise within the groups, but all strong candidates are encouraged to apply.  The position is for two years, starting between October and December of 2022. To apply, please email Prof.

iVABS

Submitted by Wenbin Yu on

Dear All,

I am excited to share that we recently developed iVABS as an integrated VABS-based framework for design and optimization, parametric studies, uncertainty quantifications of composite rotor blades, and other beam-like structures. This tool is particularly useful for rapid design of composite slender structures with accuracy of detailed 3D FEA at the speed of simple engineering beam theories.

Elastoplastic model for chemo-mechanical behavior of porous electrodes using image-based microstructure

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on

The microstructure of electrodes is intrinsically complex and thus should be determined prior to the analysis of the chemo-mechanical performance during charge/discharge cycles. In this study, a microstructurally resolved, fully coupled chemo-mechanical model was developed to investigate the structure–property relationship of electrodes in the framework of elastoplastic finite deformation.
