I have the following questions.
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.

Fracture mechanics of porous materials
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2015.10.004
The effects of pore geometry on fracture mechanics is studied by considering notches of various types with a uniform crack growth. This work, published in Engineering Fracture mechanics, sheds light on the role of stress concentrators in the toughness of porous materials.
A 3-year PhD position in Micromechanics of White Etching Cracks is available at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). More details about the project ideally starting during the spring of 2018 can be found at:

Hello everybody,
I am working on FE Simulation of interface cracks. To this end, I use modified VCCT, CSDEM and other such methods to determine mesh independent strain energy release rate (G) and Mode mixity (ψ). Now I have a fundamental doubt.
Two PhD positions are currently available in the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). Research topics are in the following areas:
1. Modeling of aluminum alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity methods.
2. Fracture in composite materials using a Discontinuous Galerkin method for debonding
