Hi
I am looking for a good PhD student in the area of materials science/polymer science/computational engineering/mechanical engineering. The position is fully funded by EPSRC and ORE Catapult for 4 years.
I am looking for a highly motivated, hardworking, and bright student to fill a fully-funded MS/Ph.D. position in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.org). Candidates are expected to have a strong background in cementitious materials and concrete technology or material science. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: Corrosion, artificial intelligence, experimental techniques, continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, etc.
Dear Colleagues,
Here is the link to a recently published paper in Acta Materialia titled, "Influence of thermomechanical loads on the energetics of precipitation in magnesium aluminum alloys".
Authors: Swarnava Ghosh and Kaushik Bhattacharya

Shear testing produces shear property data for material specifications, research and development, quality assurance, and structural design and analysis. Shear properties can be calculated via different test types including tension, flexion, and compression as well as different test set ups such as the lap shear method, V-notched rail method, short beam method, and more.

Sheet metal forming operations consist of simple bending, to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts. The mechanical properties of the sheet material greatly influence its formability, which is a measure of the amount of deformation the material can withstand prior to fracture. This blog post covers important definitions determining sheet metal characteristics, the test methods, and the equipment used to quantify them.
The microelectronics revolution is one of the most influential drivers of current industrial developments. To probe the mechanical properties of ever shrinking materials and components, nanoindentation has come to be an omnipresent and indispensable method. In a recent combined experimental and computational approach, an international team of scientists was for the first time able to resolve the dynamic atomistic processes taking place at the elastic-plastic transition during nanoindentation.
