Raiway axle failures have been the starting point for the studies on fatigue. However, recent accidents and papers (see [1] by Hoddinott) have shown that corrosion-fatigue plays a significant role.
At PoliMi we have recently investigated this topic finding interesting results by corrosion-fatigue tests on small-scale specimens and, recently, a validation of the model by full-scale corrosion-fatigue tests (see papers [2-3]).
A postdoc position is available next January at Research Center for Applied Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan on the molecular simulation of the water/graphene interface.
For those who are interested, please contact Chun-Wei Pao (cwpao [at] gate.sinica.edu.tw) or Jer-Lai Kuo (jlkuo [at] pubs.iams.sinica.edu.tw).
Our group has two research openings for people with expertise on mechanism design / dynamic and vibration analysis of actuators cater to 10 Tbits/square inch hard disk drives. Please send your cv to me at mpeleehp [at] nus.edu.sg (mpeleehp[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) or Prof Ong CJ at mpeongcj [at] nus.edu.sg (mpeongcj[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg).
Job description
A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the Computational Solid Mechanics Laboratory
(CSML) in the Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering at King Abdullah University of
Science and Technology (KAUST). Candidates with experience in one or more of the following
research areas are encouraged to apply:
(1) Constitutive modeling of materials (metals, biological tissues, polymers, gels, soft active
materials, …etc.)
I am looking for postdoctoral position in the field of mechanical and material engineering. I am currently a doctoral candidate at Louisiana State University, and expect to complete my PhD degree requirements by Jan. 2011.
The Laboratory for Advanced Materials at Pittsburgh has openings for
one graduate student and one postdoctoral research fellow for 2011.
Interested applicants should send their materials to Professor Paul W.
Leu at pleu [at] pitt.edu (pleu[at]pitt[dot]edu). http://www.pitt.edu/~pleu/Research/index.html
------Graduate Students Openings------
My name is Georges Ayoub; I am seekinging a postdoctoral research position in mechanical and material engineering. I defended my PHD at the beginning of this academic year (2010/2011) and the examining committee gave me the title of doctor in mechanical engineering with a very honourable mention and with the examining committee praise (they judged my work as an excellent one). I am very motivated to start a Postdoctoral position in January, in the USA.
We have several open postdoc positions, to be filled immediately.
The first project is focused on thermal management. The project involves the computational and theoretical analysis of graphene/graphite-metal nanocomposites and experimental work carried out by other team members. We are looking for a strong person with background in thermal and mechanical properties of materials, preferrably with background in molecular simulation.
