We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ‘Shock & Blast’ session under Track 1: Dynamic Behavior of Materials. This symposium is part of the 2020 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Orlando, FL, USA, June 8-11, 2020).
One PhD / MS research position is available in Advanced Manufacturing and Medical Instruments (AMMI) Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaii at Manoa for Fall 2020.
The research program focuses on robotic (autonomous/automatic) smart needle insertion for therapeutic or diagnostic cancer interventions. The research involves robotic instrumentations, programing, closed loop feedback control, image processing, etc. For more information go to: https://uhatmanoa.wixsite.com/ammi
In this paper we discuss the mechanics of anelastic bodies with respect to a Riemannian and a Euclidean geometric structure on the material manifold. These two structures provide two equivalent sets of governing equations that correspond to the geometrical and classical approaches to nonlinear anelasticity. This paper provides a parallelism between the two approaches and explains how to go from one to the other. We work in the setting of the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient seen as a non-holonomic change of frame in the material manifold.

Faculty Positions in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 1, 2020 or on a mutually agreed date thereafter. Faculty appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible.
Atlanta-based Novelis Inc. and Georgia Tech have announced a new collaboration to establish the Novelis Innovation Hub at Georgia Tech. The company has committed $2.5 million to initiate research, faculty, student, and educational program support. The collaboration will promote basic and translational research, innovative business models, and related educational endeavors at Georgia Tech and will serve as a cross-functional hub connecting Novelis’ technical and business innovators with Georgia Tech’s students and faculty.
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the aerospace department at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The research project focuses on characterizing the failure modes of flexible skin and their supporting structures for morphing wing applications. Those with a background in aerospace structures, composites material, fatigue and damage accumulation, morphing wings, and compliant/flexible structures are encouraged to apply.
Application submittal information:
The new version of the code presents an improved and more intuitive
management of the subroutine and an easier use of Job monitor dialogue.
