Safer batteries, more efficient gas-turbine engines and solar cells, all require better-engineered nanocomposite materials. There is a limitation though -- how to investigate the fracture mechanics of these materials? Machine learning can help us overcome this limitation.

An Adaptive Quasi-Continuum Approach for Modeling Fracture in Networked Materials: Application to Modeling of Polymer Networks
Dear iMechanicians,
Please find below a paper, co-authored with Ivan Cuesta and Norman Fleck, on the mode II fracture of elastic-plastic sandwich layers. The paper is part of the special issue in the Journal of Applied Mechanics dedicated to John Hutchinson's 80th anniversary and the Century Fracture Mechanics Summit.
Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge, with the student being supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez Pañeda (main supervisor), Prof Catherine O'Sullivan (Imperial College) and Prof Norman Fleck FRS FREng (University of Cambridge).
The project aims at developing new theoretical and computational micromechanics-based models for rocks and porous media. More details of the project are given here:
I have a post-doc position for up to 28 months at Imperial College London, working on dislocation mechanics modelling for problems in nuclear materials, advert snippet below, full advert and application from the link below. Closing date 30th October 2019, starting as soon as possible, at least within the next 6 months.
The NUMISHEET conference series is the most significant international conference on the area of the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes. Within Numisheet 2020, we are organizing a mini symposium on “Challenges and Opportunities in Forming Aluminum”.
