corrosion

There is an immediate PhD position available in the Reliability and Mechanics of Failure Lab (RMFLab) at George Mason University in the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Candidates must have background in corrosion, fatigue, fracture, materials characterizations, and finite element modeling.

Interested candidates, please send letter of interest to mamirida [at] gmu.edu.

The unified mechanics theory (UMT) was used to develop a model to predict the fatigue life of pre-corroded steel samples with BCC structure. Details of the experimental validation are also provided.

KU Leuven has a full-time academic, professorship, vacancy in the area of corrosion and wear of metallic surfaces at the Ghent Technology Campus.

Dear iMechanicians, I hope that our latest JMPS paper is of interest to you. We show how the phase field paradigm can be extended to model localised corrosion (aqueous electrolyte-solid interface) and the associated damage mechanisms.
