3-point bending test procedure for obtaining flexural and shear modulus
In the case of orthotropic materials like wood or composites, transverse shear has an effect on the modulus determination by bending tests. A procedure based on three-point bending is proposed. The experimental data required are the load and displacement given by the testing machine. The novelties of the proposal are:
Assistant Professor (tenure track) / Associate Professor at the Section of Mechanical Engineering at Aarhus University
The Department of Engineering at Aarhus University has a number of open positions as Assistant Professor (tenure track) or Associate Professor at the Section of Mechanical Engineering. The University seeks innovative and visionary engineers/researchers capable of developing the research and teaching in Mechanical Engineering.
The positions are available from February 1, 2021 or as soon as possible hereafter.
Research focus
Electroadhesive sphere-flat contact problem
The electroadhesive contact between a conductive sphere with a rigid substrate, both coated with an electrically insulating layer is studied, by adopting two solution strategies: (i) a DMT approximation and (ii) an iterative finite element model which accounts for the effect of the electroadhesive tractions on the deformation of the elastic solids. The contact problem is solved by varying the applied voltage and the elastic modulus of the coating layer.
A finite strain model predicts oblique wrinkles in stretched anisotropic films
Transverse wrinkles commonly occur in a uniaxially tensile elastic membrane and can vanish upon excess stretching. The wrinkling direction is usually perpendicular to the stretching direction under isotropic elasticity. Here, we show that wrinkles are orientable by material anisotropy, such as in fiber-reinforced or fibrous films, and the wrinkling orientation can be tuned by varying the stiffness and direction of fibers.
PhD Positions in Mechanical Engineering at NJIT for Spring 2021
Open PhD positions are available in the RAD Lab , in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The research will involve multiscale computational modeling of complex fluids and soft matters with particular emphasis on biological flows of active matter in the living systems and particle-laden multiphase flows. The desired start date is Spring 2021.

Machine learning and SIR epidemiological models applied to the analysis of the Italian Lockdown
How many people were involved in the covid-19 epidemic during the Italian Lockdown in Lombardy, Valle d'Aosta, Veneto and Emilia Romagna?
How open data on infected and recovered individuals were biased by the limited extent in the use of medical swabs?
How lockdown measures have influenced the spread of covid-19 epidemic in the above regions?
