Non-destructive testing (NDT) refers to techniques that are used in the life-cycle of a structural component to investigate their quality, functionality and 'health' without destroying the object, nor affecting its properties. The continuous development of more advanced materials, like fiber reinforced plastics, requires new and more sophisticated NDT techniques. One such an innovative NDT technique is the Ultrasonic Polar Scan (UPS) which has recently been developed, both experimentally and numerically, in our research group.

The core idea of this fundamental research project is to develop a consistent multi-scale modelling framework for fatigue damage in unidirectionally reinforced composites. Three scales are distinguished: (i) the micro-scale, where individual fibre filaments are arranged in a polymer matrix.

Applications are sought from very strong and motivated gradaute students intending to puruse PhD studies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, UBC, Vancouver, Canada. The areas of immeidate interest are (a) Elastodynamics of lattice materials and phononic crystals, (b) mechanics of nanomaterials and   (c) Friction induced  nonlinear vibrations. Please see  http://dalubc.wordpress.com for full description and recent publications from our group.

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. The department is especially interested in candidates in computer architecture, embedded systems, autonomous systems, and energy systems.

A PhD student position is available in Department of Civil Engineering, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC from Spring 2015.

PhD Research Topics: mathematical/numerical modeling in the following areas:

- Structural dynamics and wave propagation analyses

- Inverse problems in science and engineering
