Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Computational Materials & Mechanics Laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla), http://web.mst.edu/~aslezaeemm/:
1. Multi-phase field modeling: defect formation and evolution during dendritic solidification of aluminum alloys
2. Molecular dynamics simulations of properties of oxides
Hello People,
Would anyone please tell me or provide any documentation for how to find Temperature Dependent CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) or modulus of elasticity? I have water which is encapsulated in box made of steel and which goes under freezing process and water expands.
So i need any mathematic relations for water and metal as well to fine CTE.
Thanking you,
Rohan
Two post doctoral positions are available at the University of Limerick, Ireland. The object of the research, which is funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), is to obtain an understanding of the mechanical behaviour of ferritic and martensitic steels at the micron and sub-micron scale and to link this behaviour to component behaviour. The work will involve computational and experimental studies of material behaviour using a range of numerical and experimental techniques.
Understanding the dynamic stability of bodies in frictional contact steadily sliding one over the other is of basic interest in various disciplines such as physics, solid mechanics, materials science and geophysics. Here we report on a two-dimensional linear stability analysis of a deformable solid of a finite height H, steadily sliding on top of a rigid solid within a generic rate-and-state friction type constitutive framework, fully accounting for elastodynamic effects.
Dear all,
I have some questions about hydrogel mechanical test. After curing, should i put samples in water (submerge in water) or not? I found there's big difference between same samples with different water content. Also, I can't get the tentile strength similar with literature with same materials. My tensile stress is more than 10 times smaller. I really don't know what did I miss.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
Two positions at the PhD level are available in solid mechanics in my group in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I'm looking for motivated students in the area of solid mechanics and materials, with specific application to the multiphysics behavior of polymeric materials. A few key areas are polymeric gels, thermo-mechanics of polymers, shape-memory polymers, chemical reactions occurring in a deforming polymer, and so on. Research topics are broad and cover the full range of theoretical, numerical, and experimen
In the present paper, weakly enforced no-slip wall boundary conditions are revisited in the context of Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) with near-wall modeling. A new formulation is proposed in the framework of weakly enforced no-slip conditions that is better aligned with traditional near-wall modeling approaches than its predecessors. The new formulation is tested on turbulent open-channel flows at friction-velocity-based Reynolds numbers Reτ=395Reτ=395 and 950 benchmark problems.

Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming 28th Nordic Seminar on Computational Mechanics to be held in Tallinn (Estonia) during 22-23 October 2015 is now open for abstract submission. Additional information and templates can be found at the conference website: http://www.ioc.ee/nscm28/. Please take the time to explore the website for more details, check on important dates, and keep yourself up to date on recent changes.
Seamless and minimally invasive three-dimensional interpenetration of electronics within artificial or natural structures could allow for continuous monitoring and manipulation of their properties. Flexible electronics provide a means for conforming electronics to non-planar surfaces, yet targeted delivery of flexible electronics to internal regions remains difficult. Here, we overcome this challenge by demonstrating the syringe injection (and subsequent unfolding) of sub-micrometre-thick, centimetre-scale macroporous mesh electronics through needles with a diameter as small as 100 μm.
