If you have strong interest in Solid Mechanics and Nature, write to me after applying to MSU Graduate School for admission.
Desirable qualities: Innovative, strongly motivated and interested in understanding how nature works and applying the same for mechanics based problems
The research will focus on biomimetic design of composite materials.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in the field of Solid Mechanics to begin July 1, 2009 or thereafter. Appointment would be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. Candidates should have a strong foundation in Solid Mechanics, and should hold an earned Ph.D.
Both positions are in QLD, Australia.
1. Objectives
Development of good practice for Combined below rail and above rail decision model for reducing cost, risks and enhancing rail-wheel life based on:
Rail grinding
Wheel-rail condition monitoring.
2. The aim of the project is to collect already completed research that can be used to inform and improve existing industry practices of wheel-rail friction modification. This will include:
Research that leads to a ranking applicators in order of effectiveness
