PhD Position, Mechanical Engineering-George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia
New PhD position is immediately available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Spring/Summer 2024. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background in solid mechanics and analytical works are encouraged to apply. Master degree is required. Experience with FEM software is a must. Experience with ABAQUS is preferred. Knowledge on soft polymers mechanical behavior is also preferred, but not required. Priority will be given to those who are already in the US.

12 days to go - WCFA2023 on FKM-Guideline Non-Linear
In a few days, our Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis starts in its new volume.
This is to remind you that those of you or of your colleagues, who would be interested in the latest enhancement of the FKM Guideline for static and fatigue analysis in the direction of non-linear analysis (encompassing both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue regimes), should apply to the workshop we organize.
Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2023 - FKM-Guideline Non-Linear
Location: Prague, Czechia
When: October 30 - November 1, 2023

PhD Openings at UCSB – Solid Mechanics and Materials
We have several openings for PhD positions in the Balakrishna Research Group (https://ananyabalakrishna.com/) at UC Santa Barbara in the Materials Department. Materials at UC Santa Barbara is a world-renowned department with stellar faculty offering a collaborative and multidisciplinary academic environment.
Postdoc Positions at UCSB – Solid Mechanics and Materials
We have openings for postdoctoral positions in the Balakrishna Research Group (https://ananyabalakrishna.com/) at UCSB. The successful candidate will develop mathematical models (phase-field, molecular dynamics, DFT) and numerical methods to investigate the origins of chemo-mechanical degradation in battery materials. Beyond batteries, we also have openings to pursue original research on topics related to phase transformations in soft magnetic alloys, shape-memory alloys, and light interactive molecular crystals.
Discussion of fracture paper #38 - Fracture of the Thinnest of Sheets - Graphene
The Nobel laureate Andre Geim made graphene by playing with pencil leads and Scotch tape and coauthored a paper on how to get the Nobel prize the fun way. Before that, he co-authored with his hamster, Ter Tisha, a paper on diamagnetic levitation and demonstrated it on a frog. He was honoured with the Ig Nobel prize for the paper and later became the only person so far who got both the Harvard Ig version and the real Alfred version of the Nobel prize. Geim is one of my favourite scientists, which led me to read the paper
