*Closed* Postdoc Opportunity at Nortwestern University
Prof. Zdenek P. Bazant seeks a postdoctoral
associate to conduct research on some of his sponsored projects. They
deal with the mechanics and nano-mechanics of quasibrittle failure of
fiber composites, concrete
and geomaterials, including probabilistic strength and lifetime. Others
deal with creep and chemo-mechanical effects in concrete structures and
their nano-mechanical origin. To apply, send a CV to Robert Lenon

Investigating Stochastic Sensitivity to Solve Multidisciplinary Shape Optimization in Stamping, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France
Description
Stamping simulation, as are all the highly nonlinear mechanical
models, is ravenous in computational resources. Thus, when performing
shape or parameter optimization of a single or /a fortiori/ multiple
criteria related to the stamping process, one has to save as many as
possible computer evaluations of the solution fields, which prohibits a
naive use of classical zero-order algorithms beit deterministic or
probabilistic.
Efficient Computational Tools to Solve Concurrent Optimization of Surfaces in Stamping at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France.
Description
The limited availability of mineral resources has led to the need for High Performance Material (Steel, Aluminium, Alloys,…).
These advanced materials are used to design lighter and stronger
structures, which result in a lower consumption of energy if one thinks
of the correlation between the weight and fuel consumption e.g. in the
automotive and aerospace industry.

General area :
The battery is known for its strict requirement of the lowest maximum allowed working temperature in the entire electric transmission chain assembly. This poses a problem particularly in climates with extreme temperature variations (35-45°C in summer and 0 to -30°C during winter) and during fast recharging at a significant battery power level.
