Do you have a good background in thermo-mechanical modeling?

Are you interested in advancing new manufacturing techniques for fabricating sustainable composite materials used in wind turbines?

If so, there is a great opportunity for motivated and hard-working students with good scientific background to pursue their PhD study at the Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark; one of the top-ranking technical universities in Europe. 

 

 

New Program Directors in Mechanics-Focused Programs at NSF

Submitted by Siddiq Qidwai on

Dear Mechanics Community Members:

We have great news to share! Two additional program directors have joined the Mechanics and Engineering Materials (MEM) cluster. Recall that the MEM cluster is composed of two programs devoted to the discipline of mechanics: Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) and Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS). The new hires will work across and bridge both programs, forming a complement of five program directors in total serving the needs of the ever-expanding mechanics community.

Dear Fellow Mechanicians,

Cordially inviting you to submit an abstract for the upcoming USNC/TAM 2022, in session named as -"Computational Fracture, Fatigue and Damage Modeling"; we are encouraging (not limited to) research related to new method development to understand the fracture, damage and fatigue behavior in complex engineering materials such as soft polymers, composites, biological materials etc. Kindly consider submitting an abstract before the deadline of December 18, 2021.

Universal Deformations in Inhomogeneous Isotropic Nonlinear Elastic Solids

Submitted by arash_yavari on

Universal (controllable) deformations of an elastic solid are those deformations that can be maintained for all possible strain-energy density functions and suitable boundary tractions. Universal deformations have played a central role in nonlinear elasticity and anelasticity. However, their classification has been mostly established for homogeneous isotropic solids following the seminal works of Ericksen. In this paper, we extend Ericksen's analysis of universal deformations to inhomogeneous compressible and incompressible isotropic solids.

Postdoc fellowship available at BUAA, China

Submitted by Leiting Dong on

A two-year/three-year fellowship named as the Hundred-Talent Postdoc Fellowship is available at Beihang University. Beihang University, also known as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA), has always been ranked No. 1 in Aerospace Engineering among all the universities in China. Our research group led by Professor  Leiting Dong is seeking talented and motivated candidates to work on the development of state-of-the-art computational mechanics methods and their applications on the analysis and design of complex engineering structures.
