Ass. Professor Structural Design of Concrete Structures - 3D Printing of Concrete

The Department of the Built Environment invites applications for a position as Assistant Professor in the Chair of Structural Design of Concrete Structures within the unit Structural Design. The assistant professorship is a tenure track position, related to 3D printing of concrete, that includes teaching, research, valorization and administrative duties.

Position: Assistant Professor

The Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration (http://barthelat-lab.mcgill.ca) at McGill University has a new opening for a Post-doctoral researcher with a strong background in mechanics of materials, fracture mechanics and experimental mechanics.

Under tension, confined elastic layers can exhibit various modes of mechanical instabilities, including cavitation, fingering and fringe instabilities. While the cavitation has been extensively studied, the fingering and fringe instabilities have not been well understood, and the relations and interactions of these instabilities have not been explored yet. In this paper, we systematically study the formation, transition, interaction and co-existence of mechanical instabilities in confined elastic layers under tension.

How can an elastic rod model snake motion?

Dear colleagues,

on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirásek in Prague, Czech Republic on 18-22 September 2017.

I tried to explain the concept of state of stress in a simple way, here is the link to the video - state of stress
