mechanics of materials/structures

The departments of Mechanical Science and Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineeing at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign will be cohosting the first Midwest Mechanics of Materials and Structures workshop at UIUC this Summer (Aug. 26th, 2015).

We seek for highly motivated Ph.D. candidates in the field of 1) Acoustic metamaterials (e.g., phononic crystals), 2) Advanced composite materials, and 3) NDE/SHM, to join Advanced Structures Laboratory (http://www.me.sc.edu/research/ASL/) at the University of South Carolina. The Advanced Structures Laboratory is located in the Mechanical Engineerin Department, which is ranked 31st nationally according to National Research Council and is recently emerging due to the construction of Aerospace Cluster driven by Boeing Company and GE Aviation.
