Project Description:
The Multifunctional Materials Branch of the Materials Science & Technology Division at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC has an interest in postdoctoral associate candidates for the areas of materials and devices for power and energy applications.
Two doctoral (Ph.D.) research assistant (RA) student positions are available on the synthesis, characterization, and modeling of high performance energy-storage materials with nanostructures.
Shock Wave Energy Dissapation in Mehcanochemcially Active Polymers
Convergent Manufacturing Technologies Inc. (www.convergent.ca), a small but growing university spin-off company located on the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus, is a world-leader in virtual manufacturing for the aerosapce industry. We develop specialized engineering simulation software and provide engineering support to the leading aerospace companies world-wide.
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
Description
New Technologies Research centre at the University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in the field of Computacional Mechanics of Materials. Highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in Mechanics, Materials Science or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.
The Nanobiophysics laboratory (Prof. Chaieb) in collaboration with the DNA replication laboratory (Prof. Hamdan) at the division of life science and engineering at KAUST invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the two aforementioned lab although the primary position is at the Nanobophysics laboratory. The research is expected to
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.
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.
