1. Project description
In this project, the research fellow is expected to work on the K&C concrete model in LS-DYNA. Focusing on normal strength concretes of ~45 to 60 MPa compressive strengths, the research fellow has to calibrate the material parameters against experimental data, and to establish all modelling inputs for simulating the response of concrete structures against very high impact loading conditions. The numerical predictions will be benchmarked against experimental data.
The Laboratory for Fluid-Structure Interaction (LIFE) (http://labfsi.com/) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for an enthusiastic research student with a strong interest in fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interactions. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in several fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems.
One fully funded Ph.D. position is available in the Dynamic Structures Lab at Stony Brook University. The intended starting semester is Fall 2023.
A good applicant has a background in engineering, physics or mathematics, and is passionate about mechanics and its application to structural systems at various lengthscales. An ideal applicant has coding experience, is creative and can make things.

Our group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working on a range of problems, involving mechanics and physics of 2D materials, soft materials and biological systems. We employ methods of continuum mechanics, mathematics, statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of nanomaterials and biology.
Our ice mechanics group at Aalto University (Finland) is looking for a PhD-student to work on offshore wind in cold sea areas. We will use discrete element method to study how drifting sea ice affects an offshore wind farm and how the wind farm affects the sea ice surrounding it.
