Applications are invited for three PhD and two postdoc positions in the area of computational mechanics of materials at the University of Padova, Italy.
The successful candidates will work at building a multiscale model for the study of contact, friction and solid lubrication between metal surfaces, sponsored by an ERC consolidator grant.
This video gives a basic overview of the most fundamental hardening models of plasticity, which are the isotropic and kinematic hardening
Hope this helps!

Structural hierarchy through self-assembly
Architected materials with nano and microscale features can have extraordinarily high strength, stiffness, and toughness per weight. Two well-known biological materials with these characteristics are nacre (mother of pearl)1 and the claw of the mantis shrimp.2 These materials are made of up periodic arrangements of hard domains interspersed with soft matter (Fig. 1). Structural hierarchy exists at different length scales, and varies spatially across the material.
MSG helps to obtain the more accurate local fields in any type of microstructure and as effective as 3D RVE analysis and yet more efficient!

Dear Friends,
Please find our paper on Nature Communications about a novel method to bond hydrogel and elastomers. Comparing to existing methods, our method features the applicability to various manufacturing processes, including dip-coating and 3D printing.

Abstract
We are looking for a C++ or CSharp Programmer and a post-doctoral fellow to couple our in-house Isogeometric BEM/FEM and Collocation approach to Rhino3D. Funding is available for 12 months of post-doc as well as programming time for a GUI and interfacing with Rhino3D. Freelance programmers are welcome to apply. Knowledge of elasticity, linear algebra and BEM acceleration are a plus.
Contact me for more information including your IGA experience, BEM/FEM experience and background in mechanics.
Best wishes!
Stéphane
MSG is a powerful tool to analyze the global-local field analysis in any type of composites irrespective of the shape of the constituents. You may check the link here under to see what is happening at microscale due to global loading.

See a national broadcast on Politecnico di BARI and the region Puglia, with its successes, including the worldwide success of Diesel common rail technology, the GE centre on Addittive Manufacturing and Cold Spray, and others.
Mechatronics, the world patent on diesel common rail technology, for which Bosch created a factory of 2000 employees (now, after dieselgate, trying to reconfigure this), biomedical, tribology, etc.
