A Postdoctoral Research Associate Position is available in Professor R. Thevamaran's laboratory at the Department of Engineering Physics to study the dynamic behavior and properties of nanostructured metals and hierarchical materials. A strong background in experimental solid mechanics and materials science is required for this research.
Due to the intensive decrease in grain sizes of nanocrystalline materials (NcMs), a large volume fraction of atoms reside in the interface regions between crystals forming an atom-cloud phase with a distinct atomic structure. Moreover, the surface to volume ratio of the grain increases, thus its surface energy will significantly affect the mechanical properties of NcMs.
Dear Colleagues,
The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to May 2, 2012 for the 49th SES Meeting. Dan Gianola and I are hosting a symposium on the Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures, and would like to solicit abstracts for oral presentations.
If you are interested in presenting your work, please go to the conference website to submit an abstract:
Sincerely,
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to the Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures Symposium at the 49th Society of Engineering Science (SES) Meeting at Georgia Tech on October 10-12, 2012.
