A PhD position is available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The position is in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics.
Current topics of interest include:
1) Topological metamaterials
2) Tunable and programmable metastructures
3) Mechanics of multilayer lattices
You are all invited to attend the online workshop “Advanced modelling of membrane structures, with a view to technological application” to be held on next Monday, October 23, see the attached program with the zoom link in the front page. Note that timings are in UK time.
This paper presents an integrated experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic deployment behavior of Composite thin-walled lenticular tube (CTLT) that wraps around a central hub, with emphasis on the effect of long-term storage. The deployment experiments were performed on the CTLT prototype both before and after it had been stowed for extended storage periods. The results indicate that after being stowed for 6 and 10.5 months the CTLT is deployed slower and the deployment time increases by 8.2% and 15.0%, respectively.

There are immediate openings for PhD students (Spring/Fall 2024) in the Aerospace Structures Reliability Laboratory at Auburn University, working with Dr. Wen Luo.
Ballistic protection concerns apparel, vests, armors, helmets and structural reinforcement for vehicles as well.
We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on microscale mechanical characterization of fiber reinforced polymer composites using in-situ microscopic techniques. Much more fundamental insights and measurements at the micro-scale are necessary to enable fully predictive multi-scale modelling and faster adaptation of composites. Therefore, we have developed advanced micromechanical test methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites based on in-situ optical and electron microscopy during loading.
We are seeking a dedicated postdoc on advanced material modelling in the textile domain. In this project you will dive deep into a cutting-edge research area, exploring the complexities of advanced textile material modelling. You will be part of a team of 4 researchers (3 PhDs and one postdoc) who will all work on this large research project. The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to support the 3 PhD students and act as a mentor and tutor for them.
