Title: Self-Growing and Strengthening of Double Network Hydrogels by Mechanical Training
Time: 8 am Boston, 1 pm London, 2 pm Paris, 9 pm Beijing on 9 December 2020
dear Collegues
This work addresses the determination of yield surfaces for geometrically exact elastoplastic rods. Use is made of a formulation where the rod is subjected to an uniform strain field along its arc length, thereby reducing the elastoplastic problem of the full rod to just its cross-section. By integrating the plastic work and the stresses over the rod's cross-section, one then obtains discrete points of the yield surface in terms of stress resultants. Eventually, Lamé curves in their most general form are fitted to the discrete points by an appropriate optimisation method.
Dear Prospective Participants,
We are looking for strongly motivated Postdocs and/or Ph.D. students to join our group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science at Duke University. Two openings with primary focuses on flexible electronics and programmable matter are available immediately.
Position 1: The research will aim to create new classes of epidermal electronics for precision measurement of body mechanics and acoustics. The candidate is expected to collaborate with the school of medicine at Duke University to explore novel clinical applications.
Hello iMechanica,
I have been trying to implement the Virtual Element Method formulation for finite strains described in the paper by Wrigger's et al. It can be found at the following link:
One position for a PhD Student in Experimental Biomechanics for 3-4 years; expected from April 1, 2021 at the Institute of Biomechanics in Graz, Austria.
Acceptance conditions:
M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, Experimental Physics, Mechanical or Civil Engineering or related fields and experience, with the desire to pursue a PhD degree.
Dear iMechanicians, I hope that our latest JMPS paper is of interest to you. We show how the phase field paradigm can be extended to model localised corrosion (aqueous electrolyte-solid interface) and the associated damage mechanisms.

A central tool of nonlinear anelasticity is the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation tensor that assumes that the deformation gradient can be decomposed as a product of an elastic and an anelastic tensor. It is usually justified by the existence of an intermediate configuration. Yet, this configuration cannot exist in Euclidean space, in general, and the mathematical basis for this assumption is on unsatisfactory ground.
