Postdoc vacancy (2.5 years) on multi-scale modelling of fatigue in 3D printed metals
The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),...

Achieving selective snapping-back and enhanced hysteresis in soft mechanical metamaterials via fibre reinforcement
When a soft mechanical metamaterial, consisting of a regular array of representative volume elements (RVE), is stressed up to a large strain, the delicately tailored behavior of the RVE does not prevail in the metamaterial due to boundary effect and manufacturing imperfections. A metamaterial sheet comprising RVEs designed for snapping-back behavior exhibits random snapping-through instability when uniaxially stretched. We conceptualize that loss of representativeness of RVE can be avoided by introducing fibre reinforcement to regulate boundary conditions.
