Dear colleagues:
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the topic on Mechanics and Manufacturing of Soft Materials and Soft Robots at the 2019 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE 2019) to be held from November 8-14, 2019 at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Applications are invited for a position as Associate Professor or Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry (chem.au.dk) and affiliated with the Aarhus University Center for Integrated Materials Research (iMAT) within the field of Structural Materials Science Using Neutrons. The intended start is spring 2020 or as soon as possible.
The department of the Built Environment of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has a full-time vacancy for an:
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE MULTI-PHYSICS BEHAVIOR OF DURABLE BUILDING MATERIALS
in the Chair of Applied Mechanics within the unit Structural Design. The assistant professorship is a tenure track position that includes teaching, research, valorization and administrative duties.
JOB DESCRIPTION
In our recent work, We propose a strategy of mechanical training to achieve the aligned nanofibrillar architectures of skeletal muscles in synthetic hydrogels, resulting in the combinational muscle-like properties for the first time.
We have discovered a peculiar form of fracture that occurs in a highly stretchable silicone elastomer (Smooth-On Ecoflex 00–30). Under certain conditions, cracks propagate in a direction perpendicular to the initial pre-cut and in the direction of the applied load. In other words, the crack deviates from the standard trajectory and instead propagates perpendicular to that trajectory. The crack arrests stably, and thus the material ahead of the crack front continues to sustain load, thereby enabling enormous stretchabilities. We call this phenomenon 'sideways' and stable cracking.

Join this webinar to learn about the Simpleware-CCNY head model which offers a significant resource for anyone wanting to evaluate product designs and simulate how they interact with the head.
The Simpleware-CCNY head model is a highly detailed representation of the head created in Simpleware software from scan data. The City College of New York (CCNY) is the source of the data, which consists of T1 and T2 weighted scans performed on a Siemens Trio TIM 3.0 Tesla scanner.
Several fully supported Ph.D. positions are open for fall 2019 in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of additively manufactured parts and processes. During this project, the candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with NASA research centers, national labs, and different universities across the nation such as MIT and LSU.
