failure

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

The Journal of Engineering Mechanics (JEM) launches a series of high-profile special issues. The first one is dedicated to “Instability and Failure of Nonclassical Materials and Nonlinear Structures”, guest edited by C.W. Lim (City University of Hong Kong), Stylianos Yiatros (Cyprus University of Technology), and Ahmer Wadee (Imperial College London). Submissions will be accepted until May 31, 2022.
