FEM in porous media (rock)

Project Positions in Fracture Mechanics (IIT Delhi)

Submitted by Gaurav Singh on

I am looking to fill a few project positions in the next couple of months on the following topics in Fracture Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mechanics, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi:

Required skills for all positions are excellent fundamentals in solid mechanics and good technical writing skills. Desirable skills are bracketed.

P-1. Molecular dynamics simulation of fracture in amorphous solids (Programming and LAMMPS)

P-2. XFEM simulation of fracture in brittle solids (Programming and FEM)

Position filled: Postdoctoral Researcher in Geomaterials with FE skills, UCSD/LANL

Applications are sought for a motivated/independent Post-Doctoral Research Associate to conduct research on the nonlinear elastic response of porous materials. This project is a component of a larger program, involving Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Chevron USA, to investigate  linear and nonlinear elastic response of porous materials as a function of their quasi-static state.  The postdoc will be responsible for the theoretical development of modeling that will interface a sequence of on-going experimental studies.
