Acta Mechanica Sinica (Volume 35, Issue 3, 2019 ) is online now !

Dear everyone!

The third issue in 2019 (Volume 35, Issue 3) of Acta Mechanica Sinica (AMS) is online now.

Welcome to this SCI-indexed journal http://ams.cstam.org.cn for rapid publication of your exciting results.

I am looking for a highly motivated, hard working, and bright student to fill a fully funded MS/ PhD position in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.com). Candidates are expected to have strong background and/ or inclination for math, and coding. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: artificial intelligence, continuum mechanics, numerical methods, finite element methods, analytical chemistry, computational material science, etc.

Please find attached a young postdoc announcement on the "Theoretical and experimental study of polymer nanocoatings for prefilled syringes". The position is addressed to recent PhD graduates (future PhD holders or candidates with less than a year from their PhD defense).

The Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering invites applications at the Assistant Professor level from outstanding individuals with demonstrated expertise or research potential in Advanced Solid Mechanics applied to Extreme Environments. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, loading of materials as a result of in-air or underwater blast or explosion, implosion of structures, impact mechanics, dynamic response of materials under extreme temperatures or pressures, saline or maritime conditions, and dynamic fracture fragmentation. Applicants are expected to have either a strong experimental background, or be expert in the computational modeling of solids under extreme loading conditions.

This is a reminder that the final deadline to submit an abstract to the "Instabilities in Solids and Structures" symposium for the 2019 IMECE is Monday, July 22.

There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the spring semester of 2020.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.
