We are currently accepting candidates for 2 Ph.D. and 1 Postdoc positions in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, working on the smart materials with application to energy harvesting, sensing and control.

 

Individuals with very good knowledge in the following area(s) are invited to respond.

o                     Vibration-based Energy Harvesting and Optimal Power Conditioning Circuit

A cable bending stick-slip analytical model

Submitted by Alain Cardou on

Single strand cable bending, stick-slip, analytical models require that a choice be made between two contact modes between adjacent wires: either radial (between layers) or lateral (between same layer wires). In most recent models (e.g. Papailiou’s) radial contact is selected. A “lateral contact” model has been presented by Panetti in 1944 and can be found in the proceedings of the Turin Royal Academy of Science. A translated version from Italian is proposed in the attached file.

Experimental Study of NiTi Thin-Walled Tubes Under Uniaxial Tension, Torsion, Proportional and Non-Proportional Loadings

Submitted by R.Mehrabi on

The superelastic response of NiTi shape memory alloys under various loading conditions is experimentally investigated using thin-walled tube specimens. The isotropic relation between the elastic and shear moduli of austenite and martensite as well as the von Mises stress and strain equivalency are also studied in uniaxial tension and pure torsion. In addition to proportional loading, several non-proportional loading experiments based on both force and displacement control modes are conducted.

PhD Position in Computational Mechanics of Glasses, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Submitted by pastewka on

Friction and wear are important processes that determine the function of many mechanical devices, but their underlying microscopic physical principles are complex and often not well understood. Amorphous – or glassy – materials often form on surfaces that have experienced frictional loading. The research will involve large-scale molecular dynamics simulation of the near-surface deformation upon indentation and scratching of network and bulk metallic glasses.
