PhD Positions(In-situ TEM and Multi-physics of nanoscale thin films) in Mechanical Engineering at UC, Riverside

Submitted by sandeepkumar on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 22:32

At least 2 PhD positions are available at Nanomechanics and Multi-physics Lab at UC, Riverside. Selected students will develop an in-situ TEM experimental setup using nanofabrication techniques and carry out experiments to understand the material behavior of nanoscale thin films. Students with background in material science are highly encouraged to apply.

How do we achieve these constant processes?

Hi All,

Most of the time in thermal fluid sciences we hear about some iso processes like isothermal, is-entropic, constant enthalpy etc. Physically

how do we achieve these processes while increasing/decreasing certain factors which effect these processes? Please give few examples?

Fracking is the process of drilling down and creating tiny
explosions to shatter and crack hard shale rocks to release the gas inside.
Enough water, sand and chemicals are used in the production of shale gas. [1]

Discussion Topic 6: Discuss safety in wind energy.

Unlike fossil power sources, wind energy consumes
no fuel and does not emit air pollutants. It is
thus environmentally friendly.

ME/PhD Positions open: Fracture Simulation for Visual Effects

High speed simulations of the fracture of wood, glass, concrete, brick walls, and many other materials are used every day in the visual
effects industry. The project team will develop the next generation of fracture effects technology, bringing visual effects fracturing to the next level through novel computational methods in conjunction with realistic material models for deformation and fracture.
