EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics

Submitted by miquel.aguirre on

Please take a look at the paper of our PhD student Beatrice Bisighini in Advances in Engineering Software: "EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics". We propose an efficient framework for modelling beam-to-surface contact, specifically designed to model endovascular devices.

Post-doctoral position in Solid Mechanics at the University of Texas

Submitted by Ravi-Chandar on

I am looking for a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on an NIH project that involves collaboration with the group of Dr. Sacks at UT Biomedical Engineering and with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  The work involves some experimental characterization of tissues, and development of computational modeling of surgical reconstruction of the breast.

Mechanics of tension-induced film wrinkling and restabilization: a review

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Wrinkling of thin films under tension is omnipresent in nature and modern industry, a phenomenon which has aroused considerable attention during the past two decades because of its intricate nonlinear behaviors and intriguing morphology changes.

2 Postdoc Positions: Nanoscale Mechanics of Surfaces and Interfaces

Submitted by tdbjacobs on

There are two openings for postdoctoral researchers in the research group of Prof. Tevis Jacobs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh. 

 

The purpose of the research effort is to understand the performance of advanced materials used in the semiconductor industry. Within this larger research effort, there are two sub-projects, each of which will be led by a different postdoctoral researcher. In both cases, the research will involve the following activities:
