Dear Colleagues We are looking for a post-doctoral level researcher for a 18 month project in collaboration with a startup company EMTD lab and the European Space Agency. The work to be done is related to radiation shielding and fatigue fracture. We are looking for people with a background in polycrystalline fracture, phase field/enriched finite element methods and multi-scale methods. Knowledge of metallurgy and crystallography would be welcome. Due to confidentiality, we cannot divulge more information at this stage.

Many types of composites are used in Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). Virtual Material Testing can help to find optimal materials properties to match various design requirements resulting in a faster design process and increased product life.

3rd International Symposium on the Fundamentals of Fracture

26.03. - 31.03.2023 in Dresden, Germany.

Fracture is a complex multi-scale, multi-physics phenomenon and a fundamental, mechanism-based understanding is needed to disentangle the underlying, interacting processes. With this topical session we aim at connecting specialists from the fields of solid-state physics, materials science, continuum mechanics, statistical physics and mathematics to cover theory, numerical modeling and experiments related to:

Additive manufacturing is an exciting technology that seeing accelerated industry adoption. At the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Canterbury we have established a modern 3D facility that is well equipped with printers and 3D scanning equipment. Although additive manufacture is finding applications in many industries, its full potential will be unrealised if parts are not optimised to take advantage of the new design freedoms available.

UM-SJTU Joint Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University hosts a Young Investigators Symposium in Innovative Technology (FIT) 2022.  Through this symposium, we also search for outstanding faculty candidates.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University, the State University of New York, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level beginning in Fall 2023.

The department is particularly interested in candidates whose research intersects with the fields of Solid Mechanics and Materials, including but not limited to Soft/Bio Materials, Meta/Electronics Materials, Materials under Extreme Environments, Mechanical Design, and Advanced Manufacturing.

In this paper we formulate the initial-boundary value problem of accreting circular cylindrical bars under finite torsion. It is assumed that the bar grows as a result of printing stress-free cylindrical layers on its boundary while it is under a time-dependent torque (or a time-dependent twist) and is free to deform axially. In a deforming body, accretion induces eigenetrains, and consequently residual stresses. We formulate the anelasticity problem by first constructing the natural Riemannian metric of the growing bar.
