finite element

The 15th International Conference of Computational Methods (ICCM2024) this year will be held ONLINE! We are welcoming your submissions to MS-036 Mechanics of soft materials. Deadline for submissions is 30th March. Details available HERE!

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the project MECA-ICTUS, a 3-year project funded under the Generación de Conocimiento 2022 call of Agencia Estatal de Investigación. In MECA-ICTUS we will pursue the development of computational mechanics and machine learning tools for predicting the success of endovascular thrombectomy, an urgent intervention for the removal of thrombi in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

Dear all

Please fin attached a PhD proposal for the beginning of the 2023 academic year, proposed by the Institut P' (Poitiers, France) in collaboration with the LSPM lab (University Sorbonne Paris Nord), aiming at modelling fatigue crack propagations in metallic materials under gazeous hydrogen environnement.

ISSN: 2754-4982

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

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, to conduct research into Mechanics of lattice materials. The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge Cambridgeshire, UK. There is an opportunity to invent interpenetrating lattice materials in order to design SOFT and HARD meta-materials of any given stiffness, strength and toughness. The actuation response due to seepage of a liquid through the lattice needs to be modelled by making use of experimental results from within the group.
