Wave Mechanics and Metamaterials Laboratory seeks candidates with strong knowledge in magnetoelasticity, wave mechanics, finite element modeling (ideally of magneto-mechanical coupling), or strong experimental background in ultrasonics or magnetism (ideally knowing how to operate an electromagnet). For more details, pls, see attached file.
Job Purpose: To make a leading research contribution to an industry-sponsored project on state-of-the-art finite element techniques to simulate needle penetration into skin working with the PI, A/Prof. Georges Limbert. You will join the national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS). In addition, you will work closely with the sponsor and contribute to the planning, writing and submission of reports and research publications.
Full Time Fixed Term for 18 months
Start date: between 1 November 2021 and 1 December 2021
Duration: 18 months (first phase of the project)
HOW TO APPLY?
Looking for postdoctoral researcher with experience in the area of topological mechanics and/or acoustics, or nonlinear mechanics/dynamics to join the Boechler Research Group (http://boechler.ucsd.edu/) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. A solid theoretical background in the aforementioned area, as well as strong communication skills are desired. The initial appointment would be for one year, with a potential for extension.
I would like to advertise several openings for Ph.D. students in my recently-established research group, the Dynamic Structures Laboratory at Stony Brook University. The intended starting semester is Fall 2020.
A good applicant has a background in engineering, physics or math, and is passionate about mechanics and its application to structural systems at various lengthscales. An ideal applicant has also coding experience, likes "DIY" and/or arts&crafts, and is open to writing in LaTeX.
A postdoctoral position is available as early as Fall 2019 at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
Candidates holding a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related field with a strong interest in mechanics of 3D-printable polymer composites and architectured materials are encouraged to apply.
When you push up your sleeves, wrinkles form, which eventually evolve into ridges (pictured). As familiar as you may be with this phenomenon, have you ever thought about its underlying mechanism? It involves the complex nonlinear mechanical behaviour of large deformations and surface instabilities, which in turn give rise to a sophisticated morphological evolution. And now, Yifan Yang and co-workers have revealed a hitherto unknown post-buckling behaviour that involves multiple bifurcation transitions (Phys. Rev.
Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium (351) on "Nonlinear Mechanics of Polymer Network: Elasticity, Inelasticity, and Temporal Evolution" at the 2018 U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics which will be held at Northwestern University (Chicago IL, USA) on June 4-9, 2018. You can find a description of the symposium and the conference website using this link.
There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate position in the Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at RPI, Troy NY to work on problems involving novel iterative algorithms for nonlinear problems in solid mechanics using nonconventional discretization schemes. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in computational mechanics.
Qualifications:
1. PhD in Computational/Applied Mechanics or related topic.
