Postdoctoral Researcher on Multiscale Modeling of Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Multifunctional Composites
The research group on ‘Structural Composites’ at IMDEA Materials seeks a Research Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) for a collaborative European Project in the area of Multiscale Modeling of Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Multifunctional Polymer Composites, The selected candidate will work under the supervision of the project leader to develop detailed multiscale modeling tools (micro and meso levels) to predict electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of CFRP composites reinforced with nanotubes/nanofibers.
Post Doctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST): Computational Mechanics
A postdoc position is available in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) at KAUST. The successful candidate will be engaged in modeling and numerical simulation in nano-reinforced composite materials for applications in close collaboration with the aeronautical industry.
A Conformal, Bio-Interfaced Class of Silicon Electronics for Mapping Cardiac Electrophysiology
In this paper recently feature on the cover of Science Translational Medicine, we report the development of a class of mechanically flexible silicon electronics for multiplexed measurement of signals in an intimate, conformal integrated mode on the dynamic, three-dimensional surfaces of soft tissues in the human body. Mechanics model shows that the strain in the fragile materials, e.g.
Elastic-Plastic Fracture Mechanics. Lecture 1

Decouple elastic deformation of the body and inelastic process of separation. Up to this point we have been dealing with the following situation. When a load causes a crack to extend in a body, a large part of the body is elastic, and the inelastic process of separation occurs in a zone around the front of the crack. Inelastic process of separation includes, for example, breaking of atomic bonds, growth of voids, and hysteresis in deformation.
Instructor of Engineering Science and Mechanics
The Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) Department at Virginia Tech is seeking a non-tenure track Instructor that will begin on August 10, 2010. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or a M.S. in Engineering Mechanics or a related discipline. Candidates with an M.S. degree must have taken a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours of courses related to engineering mechanics. Teaching experience in a university or college is preferred.
