Applications are invited for Ph.D. (Spring or Fall 2022) and/or postdoctoral (ASAP) positions in the group of J. Hanna in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. We are a theoretically oriented group that also engages in experimental work, with broad general interests in classical mechanics and applied geometry (see cmag.neocities.org ). We are fully in-person-operational.
Possible topics include:
A Ph.D. position is available at the University of Parma (Italy) on the topic:
Thermo-mechanical optimization: application to precast building claddings
The Ph.D. studies last 3 years and the student has to do a 6-months
internship in an Italian company during the first two years.
Students from southern Europe with a background in civil engineering are particularly welcome.
The selection procedure is scheduled to be in the period: end of October 2021 - November 2021.
Could someone please attach the following paper. I currently researching on low temperature fusion bonding of III-V materials.
The effect of surface roughness on the adhesion of elastic solids
Dear Members of the Mechanics and Materials Communities,
You may have known about the efforts of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) program of the National Science Foundation on revitalizing the practice of verification and validation (V&V) of computational models as a rigorous and indispensable step in the scientific investigative process.

One or two positions are available for a student to undertake a fully funded Ph.D. in Engineering at Louisiana Tech University understanding the detailed structure of the complicated heterogeneous materials in lithium ion batteries. Expected start date is Sept. or Nov. of 2021.
Requirements:
PhD position(s) is available for Spring 2022 in the Engineering Mechanics program in Aerospace Engineering Department at Iowa State University to perform theoretical and computational part of work on NSF-funded projects on the interaction between phase transformations and plasticity. Phase-field, micromechanical, and macroscale simulations using FEM are of interest, in close collaboration with high-pressure experiments performed in our lab. Please send vita to Prof.
If you have ever had to study and teach classical mechanics, then one of the challenges is to explain the equivalences of distinct formulations of the equations of motion for discrete mechanical systems. It is not transparent, particularly in the presence of constraints, how the Newton-Euler equations, Lagrange’s equations, Gibbs-Appell equations, Maggi's equations, Kane’s equations, Boltzmann-Hamel equations, and several other fomulations, are equivalent.
TL;DR, MIT Short Course, Live Virtual June 21-25, 2021; a hands-on bootcamp on multiscale mechanics, ML/AI, additive methods, biomaterials and bio-inspired materials and design. Registration closing soon - sign up now!

To students and junior researchers,
Together with Stephane Bordas (Luxembourg University) and Alban de Vaucorbeil (Deakin University, Australia), we have assembled a PDF (https://imechanica.org/files/how-to-write-paper_29_Nov_2021.pdf) outlining our our approach to writing articles on the field of computational mechanics. Also discussed are softwares used. We hope that it will be of help to students and junior researchers.
