Dear colleagues,

A few years ago, I shared here a short note on inflation-induced twist in geometrically incompatible isotropic tubes, exploring how layered cylindrical structures can develop torsion under pressure without externally applied torque:

I am pleased to share that this line of thinking has now evolved into a published study in npj Regenerative Medicine:

Postdoctoral positions at Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Postdoctoral positions are open in Meng’s group at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Those having (about to get) a PhD degree in the areas of solid mechanics, wave dynamics, smart material engineering are welcome to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in the fabrication and applications of smart materials and structures.

 

Lecture 'Mechanics of Soft Active Materials' by Zhigang Suo was successfully held in Tongji Univ.
