wave propagation in Hamilton Systems

Submitted by Teng zhang on

I am a junior graduate student now, and very interesting in wave motion. My advisor Prof. Zhong wanxie and his PHD student qiang Gao have developed a precise numerical technique to solve the Rayleigh wave frequency equation, which can avoid the missing root. They did a systematic work involving surface wave propagation in a transversely isotropic stratified solid resting on an elastic semi-infinte space, wave propagation in the anisotropic layered media and the propagation of stationary and non-stationary random waves in a viscoelastic, transversely isotropic and stratified half space.

Open PhD position: Microstructures in Solids

Submitted by katia bertoldi on



Info:  The goal of this project is to investigate the mechanical and acoustical behavior of materials characterized by a well-defined miscrostructure. The research will involve experimental, theoretical and computational mechanics.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, science-driven, outstanding young
candidate with experience in solid and structural mechanics. Experience
with basic mechanical testing techniques is also appreciated.
