Ph.D. position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Two Ph.D. positions are available for January 2022 at the Multiscale Material Modeling Lab at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The Ph.D. students will develop and use tools such as machine learning, finite elements, and molecular dynamics to study the mechanical properties of materials. If interested please email your CV to atabarra [at] uncc.edu.
PhD positions at UBC Vancouver
Two fully funded PhD positions are available in my research group at UBC, Vancouver in the area of mechanics of architected and fibrous materials. These positions are fully funded and expected to be filled before January 2022, or sooner . Ideal candidate will have (a) completed a research level Masters degree (in exceptional cases a Batcherlor's degree) in the area of solid mechanics, (b) aptitude and interest to pursue independent research under supervision, (c) strong written and spoken technical communication skills, (d) skills in modelling and experiments.
On Hashin's Hollow Cylinder and Sphere Assemblages in Anisotropic Nonlinear Elasticity
We generalize Hashin's nonlinear isotropic hollow cylinder and sphere assemblages to nonlinear anisotropic solids. More specifically, we find the effective hydrostatic constitutive equation of nonlinear transversely isotropic hollow sphere assemblages with radial material preferred directions. We also derive the effective constitutive equations of finite and infinitely-long hollow cylinder assemblages made of incompressible orthotropic solids with axial, radial, and circumferential material preferred directions.
