PhD position in Computational Fracture Mechanics of porous media at Imperial College London (UK applicants only)

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:

Numerical Simulation of Particle Stress and Fracture using FEMDEM: Application to Process Catalysts

Supervision:
Dr JP Latham, Dr Jiansheng Xiang
Industry Contacts:
Principal Investigator - Dr Michele Marigo
Co-investigators - Dr Mikael Carlsson, Prof Hugh Stitt

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to join AMCG (Applied Modelling and Computational Group) in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering.

ICoBT 2011 - Final programme now available

The International Conference on BioTribolgy will take place in London, Imperial College, 18-21 September 2011. To download the full programme or to register, go to http://www.biotribologyconference.com

Call for papers for ICoBT 2011 - deadline 15 April

Themes covered include

  • orthopaedic surgery
  • dentistry
  • biomechanics
  • biomaterials
  • cosmetic chemistry
  • biophysics
  • biomimetics

The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).
