PhD position in computational solid / fracture mechanics

Submitted by rabedi on

Hello,

I have a PhD position available for a project titled "Asynchronous, Parallel-Adaptive Solution of Extreme Multiscale Problems in Seismology" funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The research involves:

a. Formulation of contact / fracture models (interfacial and/or bulk) for seismic applications, e.g. anisotropic, inhomogeneous rock under dynamic loads.

b. Adaptive spacetime time discontinuous Galerkin formulation for the solution of multiphysics PDEs relevant to this application.

c. High performance computing aspects of the method.

Full PhD scholarship available - composite material modelling at University of Southern Queensland

Submitted by Xuesen Zeng on

We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on numerical modelling of composites manufacturing. Automation drives down the production cost in composites manufacturing. The project focus on self-learning process modelling coupled with real-time pressure field monitoring. The integrated virtual-physical approach aims for : (1) real-time prediction of defect formation, and (2) real-time optimisation of process correction parameters. Self-learning process modelling is the enabling technology towards smart factory.

Ph.D. and Post-doc opportunities in ‘Small-scale mechanics and advanced microstructural characterizations’ at Texas A&M

Submitted by Gi-Dong Sim on

Dr. Kevin Xie's group at Texas A&M is planning to recruit two Ph.D. students and a postdoctoral research fellow starting 2018.

 

The overarching aim of the research projects is to understand mechanics of materials at nano- and sub-micron scales by applying advanced microstructural characterization techniques such as Cs-corrected STEM, TEM- based orientation mapping, EELS, and atom probe tomography. The details of the projects are as follows:
