The plastic limit of beams and frames have analyzed by using a new truss element model of solid bodies, compared with the plastic limit analysis method, it can be found that the limit load of the two methods are in good agreement.

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Dynamic Fracture of Materials
We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to work within our strong research group “Dynamics of material fracture” oriented at experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical response and failure of materials at high strain rates. This post is based in Prague, Czech Republic and is available for 2 years.
The detailed description how-to apply for the position and the application form can be found here:

Abstract:
In our latest article, “Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks”: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10704-023-00704-z , we showed that conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) could transform complex deformation fields into stress fields by eliminating the need to evaluate elasticity distributions and develop complex nonlinear constitutive relations.
Two postdoctoral researcher positions and one Ph.D. position are available in the Multiphase Fluid-Structure Interaction Lab in Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. The postdoc will assist the PI (Prof. Shunxiang Cao) in tasks associated with the high-performance simulations of multiphase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, including bubbly flow modeling, development of efficient fluid-structure coupling algorithms, development of high-performance fluid-structure coupled solver, and reinforcement-learning-based control of FSI.
In our recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, using a multiscale modeling technique, we investigated how the combination of nanofibrillation and interfacial tuning can have a synergistic effect on the stiffness-toughness balance in rubber-toughened nanocomposites.

1. Introduction
Because of its overwhelming pervasiveness and high-stakes impact on the mechanical performance of structures made of inorganic and live matter alike (bridges, airplanes, bones, ligaments,...), fracture has attracted the attention of humans, researchers and laymen the same, for centuries.
An elastic cloak hides a hole (or an inhomogeneity) from elastic fields. In this paper, a formulation of the optimal design of elastic cloaks based on the adjoint state method, in which the balance of linear momentum is enforced as a constraint, is presented. The design parameters are the elastic moduli of the cloak, and the objective function is a measure of the distance between the solutions in the physical and in the virtual bodies. Both the elastic medium and the cloak are assumed to be made of isotropic linear elastic materials.
