Dear colleagues,
a new PhD position has become available at the Mechanics of Materials group, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands (http://mate.tue.nl/mate/)
Micro-mechanics of ultra-thin free-standing multi-layer membranes in MEMS ultra-sound transducers.
This research focuses on the development of model order reduction methods to speed up the (repeated) multiscale prediction of permeability in composite manufacturing processes. The permeability of a composite material has a very large impact on the production process of components. It is therefore required to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of the permeability, which depends on the micro- and meso-scale geometry, in order to have a robust manufacturing process.
Applications are invited for a graduate studentship position in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, focused on the thermoplastic composite material induction welding process. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers at the McNAIR Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research. The research involves experimental processing of thermoplastic induction welding to establish heat generation, heat transfer and residual stresses in thermoplastic composites.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, focused on hybrid multiscale modeling and experimental method to predict ballistic performance of soft armor systems. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers at the McNAIR Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research. The research involves studying multiaxial failure mechanisms of textile fabrics at different length scales.
The DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, University of California, Berkeley, has extended the deadline for candidates to apply to a tenured Associate or Professor level faculty position in the areas of Advanced Manufacturing, Design and/or Materials Engineering, including but not limited to: Clean energy, green and sustainable manufacturing. Precision and cyber-manufacturing. 3-D additive and subtractive manufacturing. Design, including design theory, product design and design for manufacturability.
Applications are sought for a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Cardiff University, UK to join the exciting and active M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for thermal-elastic interaction. This will be achieved by building on the level set topology optimization method that the M2DO lab has developed for mechanical and coupled problems. The application of interest is in the high temperature environment in aero-engines. The position is for two years.
Would you like to be a part of the Ph.D. research training program linked to the industry and leading European research organizations? Are you interested in mastering advanced experimental and modelling tools? Please, apply!
