We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with background in continuum/experimental mechanics eager to be part of an exciting new research project: High strain rate behavior of thermoplastic composite materials for cryogenic hydrogen storage (H-FROST).
Summary:
Our new paper is online in Journal of Applied Mechanics. We exolore the thermomechancial coupling in polydomain liquid crystal elastomers. https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/appliedmechanics/article/doi/10….

During next week, on September 14-15, we hold a pyLife workshop at the FME Czech Technical University in Prague, Czechia. pyLife is a Python-based open-source library built previously mostly by colleagues from Bosch to deal with the fatigue life estimation (see https://github.com/boschresearch/pylife).
EML will re-launch the EML Webinar Series (Young Researchers Forum) on 12 September 2023. The webinars are planned to be held once a month for a total of 10 to 12 webinars per year.
EML Webinar (Young Researchers Forum) on 12 September 2023 will be given by Ruobing Bai at Northeastern University via Zoom meeting
Woven composites exhibit a complex hierarchical structure with multiple heterogeneous sub-scales, stemming from microscale fiber arrangements and mesoscale interlacing patterns, necessitating sophisticated modeling approaches to accurately capture their intricate multiscale nature.
