Applications are invited for a 2 year postdoctoral position with a background in computational solid mechanics. The focus of the project will be on micromechanics of failure in materials surface with applications in tribology and micro-machining. This research opportunity broadly involves development of physics-based computational approaches and systematic simulations for understanding the process of surface failure under different loading condition (e.g.

There are emerging demonstrations that micro- or nano-craters engineered on polymer surfaces can enable enhanced adhesion. In the past, we have developed a framework for quantifying the suction forces produced by isolated macroscopic craters neglecting surface effects. In this paper, we take surface tension into consideration because it plays a significant role in miniature craters on soft polymers. We have derived linear and nonlinear elastic solutions for the elasto-capillary distortion in miniature hemispherical craters whentheyare demoldedfromthe template.

Materials such as metals, metal alloys, ceramics, glass, sands, soils, and others develop very fine regions of concentrated strain or stress when subject to certain loading conditions. These regions are manifested at the micro scale and may lead to the eventual fracture and failure of systems and structures. The ability to model these phenomena is of critical significance in engineering applications.

Dear colleagues, 

We invite you to present your research work at the mini-symposium - "Mechanics and Physics of 2D Crystalline Materials" (Session ID: 1203) at the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIII) in New York City from July 22-27th, 2018.

Dear colleagues,

We encourage you to submit your abstracts to minisymposium 1801 of the 13th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (New York City, from July 22 to 27 of 2018). This minisymposium focuses on:

1. recently developed methods for data-driven approaches;

2. data-driven applications to fluids, structures and materials involving (but not limited to) machine learning, uncertainty quantification and/or optimization.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, focused on molecular modeling of hybrid fiber-reinforced composite materials. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers at the McNAIR Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research. The research involves studying processing-structure-property relationships of hybrid composites. 

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ‘ASNT Spring Symposium 2018’ under Track : NDT for Additive Manufacturing. This symposium held at Orlando, FL, USA, March 26–29, 2018.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Middle East Technical University (Northern Cyprus Campus) invites applications for faculty positions to begin in 2018. Topics of interest include advanced structures and materials, aeroelasticity, aerodynamics, flight mechanics and control, advanced propulsion systems, and space applications. Outstanding candidates in other synergistic areas will be considered as well. Even though the emphasis is preferably on individuals at the Assistant Professor level, the other ranks will also be considered.
