The Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Lab (AMEL) directed by Prof. Yanliang Zhang at the University of Notre Dame (A top 15 University in US) have multiple fully-funded graduate student opening positions with full tuition coverage plus a competitive stipend. The AMEL is working on cutting-edge research topics including additive manufacturing and scalable nanomanufacturing of functional devices and autonomous systems, thermoelectric energy conversion, flexible electronics and human-machine interface. Interested applicants should send resume to Prof.

ThermoElastic Instabilities (TEI) occur in sliding bodies at sufficiently high speed because a small thermoelastic disturbance tends to localize the contact, leading to “hot spots”. The role that wear plays in TEI has been studied briefly and only on highly idealized cases. We extend and complete in detail a model of Dow and Burton who studied the specific configuration of a blade sliding on a rigid halfspace normal to its line of contact. We find there is a limit value of wear coefficient, that can be estimated by simple equations, above which TEI is completely eliminated.

Applications are invited for two Research Assistant (PhD candidates) or Research Associates (post-docs) positions at the University of Oviedo, in close collaboration with Imperial College London. Research Assistants will be appointed for 2 years while Research Associates will be appointed initially for one year, with the possibility of extending one more year. Conditional upon satisfactory progress, the researchers will have the opportunity to divide their time between the University of Oviedo and Imperial College upon their convenience.

AV Of Our Keynote Speaker @ Amme dubai 2020

We are honored to introduce Dr. Assem Moussa as a Keynote Speaker to AMME Dubai 2020 Assem A. Hamied Moussa earned Ph.D., 2015. Global Good Will Ambassador. Author of Cloud of Things Books 2016. President of Success legacy, SCR &, ASDF in Africa.

A few years ago, we observed Wallner Lines on the fracture surface of a brittle Bulk Metallic Glass and explained the process of formation of nanocorrugations on the fracture surface.

We published our research in Acta Materialia in the paper: 'Wallner lines, crack velocity and mechanisms of fracture in a brittle bulk metallic glass'.

I hope the experimental fracture mechanicians would particularly enjoy reading this paper and find it useful in their research.

A few years ago we published a paper in Acta Materialia elucidating the mechanism and length scales in the ductile fracture of bulk metallic glass through experiments and finite element simulations.

The link to the paper is here: 'On the mechanism and the length scales involved in the ductile fracture of a bulk metallic glass'.

I hope you enjoy reading the paper and find it useful in your research.
