Folks - see the new fellowship opportunity for women interested in nanolithography. I've interacted with this research center, and they are a very high quality institute with a unique focus bridging fundamental science and industry collaboration through translational research. The research cuts across many disciplines and includes a focus on tribology, among many other topics.
Postdoc position available on Mechanics/Tribology and/or Triboelectric Nanogenerators at the University of Glasgow's James Watt School of Engineering. Applicants with background in mechanics, tribology or triboelectric nanogenerators (including device fabrication and testing) are welcome. Closing date: 08-Dec-2020
The electroadhesive contact between a conductive sphere with a rigid substrate, both coated with an electrically insulating layer is studied, by adopting two solution strategies: (i) a DMT approximation and (ii) an iterative finite element model which accounts for the effect of the electroadhesive tractions on the deformation of the elastic solids. The contact problem is solved by varying the applied voltage and the elastic modulus of the coating layer.
Recently, I guest-edited a special issue of the journal Entropy on Unified Mechanics Theory and related topics. All published papers are available for free download from the link below.
