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.

Postdoc position for a computational mechanician in the Computational Physics Group @ University of Michigan

Submitted by Krishna Garikipati on

The Computational Physics Group at the University of Michigan has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in data-driven computational mechanics. This position can be available as early as July 1, 2022. Research in the Computational Physics Group is focused on developing data-driven, machine learning and some artificial intelligence approaches that interact with a range of computational methods for problems in materials physics, biophysics and in engineering more broadly.

SES Symposium 6.8 - Mechanics of Electrochemical Systems - Abstracts Due Monday May 16

Submitted by cdileo on

Dear Colleagues, 

We are organizing a symposium at the 2022 SES Conference titled “Mechanics of Electrochemical Systems” (Symposium 6.8). The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading researchers on the electro-chemo-mechanics of next generation electrochemical systems. The symposium will cover experimental, theoretical, and numerical efforts related to electrochemical systems.
