cdmHUB invites you to attend the Global Composites Experts Webinar Series.
Title: Structural self-sensing based on measuring the resistance, capacitance or inductance of the structural material, without sensor incorporation
Speaker: Dr. D. D. L. Chung, University at Buffalo
Time: 10/26, 11AM-12PM EST.

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.
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.
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
One postdoc position is available in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Connecticut (UConn).The Postdoc candidate is expected to
• have a Ph.D. degree in Engineering mechanics, Mechanical/Biomedical/Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related area.
• have research experiences or background in one or more of the following research areas:
-Biophysical or biochemical sensors
Are you interested in undertaking a PhD in the interdisciplinary field of computational cardiovascular biomechanics? If so, there are positions available in my research group and details are provided below.
The Computational Multi-Physics Coupled Analysis Laboratory at Kyushu Institute of Technology, which is located in Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, is currently offering the funded Ph.D. position, with start date of Spring/Fall 2024. The successful candidate will carry out researches in the areas of computational mechanics for biomimetics, and coupled multi-physics problems such as flying insects and energy harvesting. The detail is shown in the attached pdf.
The problem of the detachment of a sufficiently large flat indenter from a plane adhesive viscoelastic strip of thickness “b” is studied. For any given retraction speed, three different detachment regimes are found: (i) for very small “b” the detachment stress is constant and equal to the theoretical strength of the interface, (ii) for intermediate values of “b” the detachment stress decays approximately as b−1/2, (iii) for thick layers a constant detachment stress is obtained corresponding to case the punch is detaching from a halfplane.
