Professor (all ranks) in Mechanics of Materials and Structures

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University invites outstanding applicants for a tenured or tenure-track position in the general area of mechanics of materials. Areas of interest include experimental, theoretical, and/or computational investigations of the mechanics of polymers, ceramics, metals, composites, and biomaterials. Specific research thrusts of interest include but are not limited to architectured materials, behavior of materials under extreme environments, and biomechanics. The originality and potential impact of the candidate’s work are of higher priority than the specific area of research.

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. The department is especially interested in candidates in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, signal processing, control, optimization, and machine learning.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanical Engineering at the Assistant Professor level for a Fall 2019 start date. Candidates are expected to hold a baccalaureate degree and a doctorate in mechanical engineering or a closely related field.

Dear Colleagues,

 We invite you to submit a paper to the 2019 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Annual Meeting in one of the many sessions in the Fatigue and Fracture Track. See below for further information on these sessions, and please forward this to others who may be interested.

Attention: due to the source of funding, this position is open only to European Union nationals fluent in French language

PROPOSITION DE SUJET DE THESE

Intitulé : Stratégie de conception et d'optimisation de pièces thermoplastiques estampées 

Laboratoire d’accueil à l’ONERA, en collaboration avec le CETIM, Nantes et l'Université de Technologie de Compiègne 

Many engineering structures are composed of weakly coupled sectors assembled in a cyclic and ideally symmetric configuration, which can be simplified as forced Duffing oscillators. In this paper, we study the emergence of localized states in the weakly nonlinear regime. We show that multiple spatially localized solutions may exist, and the resulting bifurcation diagram strongly resembles the snaking pattern observed in a variety of fields in physics, such as optics and fluid dynamics.
