Micromechanics-based phase field fracture modelling of CNT composites

Submitted by Leonel_Quinteros on

 

Dear iMechanicians,

 

 I hope you find the following article useful. We develop the first phase field fracture formulation for CNT-based composites. A mean-field homogenisation approach is combined with a micromechanical description of carbon nanotube's fracture and pull-out, including the agglomeration effect.

Postdoctoral Position - Multiscale Mechanics and Materials

Submitted by Kmomeni on

An immediate postdoctoral associate position with a tentative start date of Jan 15 is available in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama with Prof. Kasra Momeni on multiscale modeling materials and processes. This project aims to develop multiscale models of alloys under extreme conditions, such as radiation, heat, and stresses, to develop new alloys. The postdoctoral researcher will lead several projects on material design using various techniques, such as molecular dynamics, phase-field, and CALPHAD.
