Hello again iMechanica! My name is Ryan and I am the Founder of Mechanical Engineering HQ. I am writing today to share an interesting development in water sanitation technology. Scientists and engineers have developed a new solar powered water purifier that can create drinking water from wastewater and seawater. Read on to find out how they have achieved this!
EML Webinar on 14 October 2020 will be given by Prof. Howard Stone, Princeton University; Manouk Abkarian and Simon Mendez, CNRS, France.
Title: Fluid dynamics of speech: Mechanisms underlying pathogen transmission
Dear Friends - UPenn has great research in mechanics. If you know people interested in pursuing a PhD, please share this announcement. Thank you! Rob

Virtual PhD Open House on Friday, November 6, 2020
A post-doctoral researcher is sought for research in granular flow, mixing, and segregation for both industrial and geophysical applications.
If you're working with image data and CAD, then I recommend checking out this upcoming webinar on linking Simpleware software and SOLIDWORKS on October 21st.
Details on how to register are here.
Best,
Philippe
Ultrastrong and stiff layered polymer nanocomposites, Podsiadlo, Kaushik, et al., Kotov, Science, 2007
Novelty/impact/significance:
Based on a traditional layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly, multilayered clay/poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) nanocomposites with highly ordered and uniformly distributed planar nanosheets are fabricated. The nanocomposites show exceptionally high stiffness and tensile strength (one order of magnitude greater than those of analogous nanocomposites), comparable to the modulus of Kevlar.

The department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah is hosting a Virtual Open House for prospective graduate students and we'd love for you to attend! We will be going over general program information, how to apply, and how to finance your degree. We’ll also have a faculty and student panel and virtual live lab tours! This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about our program and see if it's a good fit for you! Register below (space is limited due to Zoom capabilities). |
Multiple fully funded PhD positions are available in the group of Francesco Maresca (https://www.rug.nl/staff/f.maresca/) at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, in Multi-scale mechanics modelling of materials, with focus on:
1. Hydrogen Embrittlement in Steels;
2. Solute strengthening in High Entropy Alloys.
