A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia. The  project aims to understand the effects of solid solute, grain size and intermetallic structure on the strength of Mg alloys through modelling and simulation. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Design in Light Metals.

Dear All,

 I was wondering whether anyone here knows any companies or institutions which can supply the complete Split Hopkinson Pressure Bars apparatus.

 Thanks for your input!

The School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia, is currently looking for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to study the effect of dislocation-precipitate interaction on the strength of Aluminium alloys using Molecular Dynamics.

One J.W. and I.C.M. Roderick scholarship (Stipend + Tuition if applicable) is available for a suitably qualified student with an Honours degree (or equivalent) in Engineering to undertake full time research leading to a PhD degree in the School of Civil Engineering.

An Australian Research Council funded PhD Scholarship is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University in Australia in the area of computational mechanics. The objective of this project is to develop a multi-scale bifurcation-based decohesion model within the framework of the Material Point Method (MPM), one of the meshfree methods, for simulating glass fragmentation under blast loading. The proposed multi-scale decohesion model will be calibrated by combining molecular dynamics and continuum mechanics approaches, and the simulation results will be verified by available experimental data.
