Two PhD positions in computational solid mechanics at MINES ParisTech

1. The focus of the first PhD project is numerical methods in contact mechanics
"Development of advanced numerical methods in contact mechanics for aerospace applications"

2. The second PhD project aims at understanding of deformation and failure of embedded micro-chips via finite element analysis + some developments in finite element code Z-set
"Development of advanced multi-scale numerical methods for mechanical simulation of fabric embedded microelectronic devices"
