The College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is seeking nominations and applications for the position of the Karen and John Huff Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE).
2017/18 PhD program at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (Italy) - follow up announcement
Deadline for applications – July 18th 2017, 12 pm (midday) Italian time
Applications are being accepted for the 2017/18 PhD program at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (www.imtlucca.it), for the track on Computer Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE) focusing on Cyberphysical Systems.
As a mechanician, you will benefit from:
We present a systematic approach to deal with the modelling and analysis of the cracked rotating shafts behaviour. We begin by revisiting the problem of modelling the breathing mechanism of the crack.
Here we consider an original approach based on the form we give to the energy of the system and then identify the mechanism parameters using 3D computations with unilateral contact conditions on the crack lips.

A graduate position is opened in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of composites. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields, and be a US Citizen. Candidates with a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics, specifically continuum mechanics and finite element modeling are preferred. Familiarity with FEM software package COMSOL is a plus.

The highly non-equilibrium and complex (thermal, mechanical, fluidics) processes in additive manufacturing lead to different microstructure and defect mechanics that is a major barrier for adaptation of this attractive manufacturing technique.
"A very simple estimate of adhesion of hard solids with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model" is in press in Meccanica, can be viewed at http://rdcu.be/s0lV Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic(hard) rough solids with Gaussian multiple scales of roughness.
