We have published two papers on Ecoflex, a popular silicone polymer in recent days. The polymer is largely temperature- and strain rate-insensitive. It comes up with several Shore Hardnesses. We characterize five Shores and develop a novel Shore-dependent modelling framework

One PhD position is available at Civil Engineering Department of University of Nebraska Lincoln. The research is in the field of mechaincs and/or material science. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Congrui Jin. If you are interested, please send your CV to cjin [at] binghamton.edu (cjin5[at]unl[dot]edu)
Overview
Dr. Xiaoyu Tang’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University has multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions in the area of Fluid Mechanics and Soft Matter. Research in the group focuses on multiphase flow, microfluidics, and active matter, using both experimental and numerical techniques. Selected candidates are expected to start in the Spring or Fall of 2021. Under special cases, a Fall 2020 start date may also be arranged. Visiting students/scholars are always welcome.
Dear members of iMechanica,
We are very pleased to announce the born of the first overlay journal in Solid Mechanics the so-called
Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics https://jtcam.episciences.org
which is a scholarly journal, provided on a Fair Open Access basis, without cost to both readers and authors. The Journal aims to select publications of the highest scientific caliber in the form of either original research or review in Solid Mechanics.

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver Campus. The positions are described below and involve the use of large-scale ab-initio simulations in combination with machine learning models to accelerate materials discovery. The positions are funded for two-years and available in the modelling and simulation group, lead by Prof. Mauricio Ponga.
