International Journal on Obstetrics and Gynecology (IJOG)
Introduction: Gynecology is a field of study that deals with the Women’s Health, Female Reproductive System (Vagina, Uterus, Ovaries). Whereas Obstetrics mostly deals with Childbirth, Pregnancy and Postpartum Period. Generally, in medical specialty Gynecology and Obstetrics are combined.
Following the approach of Griffith, Sneddon and Muskhelishvili calculated the pressure of tear propagation in elastic media. Gent and Lewandowski collected these works and using Hencky's approximation of membrane deformation, introduced a collection of relationships on the debonding of films from substrates by pressure (left panel).
The James McCune Smith Scholarships will fund Black UK students to undertake PhD research at the University, and will provide an enhanced experience through external mentors, placements, leadership training, community-building activities and networking opportunities.

Shape-changing materials with precisely programmable configurations, each having its own functional regime, provide a wide range of applications in engineering and biomedical fields. Polymers with dynamic reversible covalent/non-covalent bonding feature the potential of having remarkable plasticity, which endows them with the capability of undergoing significant and sophisticated shape changes. Here we report a facile method to build an interpenetrating network (IPN) structure with plastic deformation and shape memory properties.
The James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, is dedicated to supporting greater diversity in engineering. To enable this mission, the Mary Gibb Dunlop Scholarships have recently been established to support exceptional female applicants (and those identifying as female) to undertake postgraduate research within the James Watt School of Engineering. Applications for full or part-time doctoral research within the school are welcomed.
We are looking for exceptional PhD candidates who have good publication track record and the passion for scientific discoveries in the realm of Materials Innovation & Additive Manufacturing. Our current efforts focus on multifunctional composites, architected & tailored materials, biomaterials, materials energy storage & distribution, materials for sensing & actuation and AI and ML for materials design & additive manufacturing. Potential candidates are advised to conta
Interested in using imaging data and computer-aided engineering (CAE) for weight reduction? This webinar on February 8th and 10th looks at studying fiber orientation in composite materials to improve workflows prior to costly production.
We are hosting a new Research Topic "Fingerpad Contact Mechanics and Friction under Electroadhesion" in Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, Tribology section. It welcomes contributions in adhesion mechanisms, electroadhesion, friction and vibrations, viscoelastic hysteresis, adhesive instabilities, and rough contact.
In the following doi, I share with the community our new tech brief ("selection methodology of femoral stems according to the cross section and the maximum stress") about design of femoral stems, published in the journal of biomechanical engineering of ASME.

I invite you to read our recent paper on Origins of mechanical preconditioning in hierarchical nanofibrous materials, published in Extreme Mechanics Letters.
I invite you to read our recent paper on the Extreme Dynamic Performance of Nanofiber Mats under Supersonic Impacts Mediated by Interfacial Hydrogen Bonds published on ACS Nano.
The submersion of a polymer network with a high density of hydrogen bond based cross-links in an aqueous bath results in the formation of a rubber-like hydrogel. The cross-links, which connect chains and maintain the structure of the network, can dissociate as a result of two main factors: (1) the interactions between the hydrogen bonds and the surrounding water molecules and (2) the forces that are exerted on the cross-link from the interconnected chains.
