MS/PhD RA positions, U Tennessee Knoxville, Statistical homogenization & multiscale failure analysis

Submitted by rabedi on

I have up to 4 open positions (funded by the department of defense and other sources) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK). Almost certainly, I cannot hire a postdoctoral fellow. The positions should start in Fall 2022 or at the latest Spring 2023. One of the positions requires US citizenship.

 

All projects use Multiscale stochastic homogenization of materials using statistical volume elements (SVEs) to some extent.

 

Open PhD Position: AI-Assisted Computational Design of Materials

Submitted by soheilsoghrati on

The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) at The Ohio State University has an open PhD position for a project focused on developing a novel framework relying on numerical techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) for modeling composites and biomaterials. Please check ACML website to get familiar with some of the ongoing research in this lab, focused on computational mechanics and cancer engineering.

Cracking predictions of lithium-ion battery electrodes by X-ray computed tomography and modelling

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on


Dear iMechanicians,

I hope that the following work is of interest. We conduct the first multi-physics fracture simulation of Li-Ion battery electrodes. Phase field was combined with advanced X-ray CT imaging to predict degradation of realistic microstructures.
