AEROSPACE ENGINEERING AND MECHANICS
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics seeks to fill a tenure-track faculty position in the area of experimental fluid dynamics or experimental solid mechanics.
Smart soft materials, which can flexibly respond to external multi-physics stimuli, have attracted considerable attention over the past few years. Here, we present tunable wrinkling patterns in cylindrical core-shell systems under thermal load via the orientation of director in nematic liquid crystal polymer (LCP). To quantitatively analyze mechanical behavior and morphological evolution of LCP core-shell cylinders, we develop a core-shell model that accounts for director-induced anisotropic spontaneous strains.

NSF funded NRT Fellowship is available for eligible students at Stony Brook University, in the field of Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Structures (QuADS!). It supports select students performing research in the area of materials characterization. This prestigious one-year fellowship will provide
- An annual stipend of $34,000 during Year 2 of your Ph.D. (So you can apply for your PhD now to SBU, and then, to this fellowship for your second year)
The attached tutorial paper is yet unpublished but I am posting a pre-print since several students I know have found it to be a useful pedagogical resource. You may also access the document on arXiv.
Here is the abstract.
1 funded PhD position is available immediately. The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, biomaterials, and composite materials. Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Washington DC. Temple University is ranked 103 by US News. Interested candidates please send CV, transcripts and standard test scores to ling.liu [at] temple.edu
