Computed tomography (CT) has transformed fields by enabling non-destructive three-dimensional (3D) imaging. However, conventional CT is fundamentally limited by acquisition speed: high-quality 3D reconstruction typically requires thousands of X-ray radiographs acquired over a full specimen rotation, taking minutes to hours. This makes CT unsuitable for fast, transient phenomena such as additive manufacturing, impact, fracture and high-rate deformation.
Professor Ares Rosakis, Theodore von Karman Professor of Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering, was formally inducted as a Foreign Member to the Royal Society in a ceremony held on July 10, 2026. His 2024 election marked the first time a Caltech professor of mechanics and of mechanical engineering was elected to the Royal Society.
The University of Cagliari (UniCA, Italy) has opened the call for applications for the PhD Programme in Industrial Engineering (Cycle XLII - Academic Year 2026/2027).
The research activity will be hosted at the Department of Mechanical, Chemical and Materials Engineering (DIMCM). We are looking for talented and motivated candidates with a strong background in Solid Mechanics, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or Mechanical/Civil/Materials/Aerospace Engineering.
Research Topics include:
A postdoc position is available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of Houston. The postdoc will work under my supervision on the asymptotic analysis of compliant thin shells (e.g., homogenization, size effects, stability) and will aim to solve theoretical problems motivated by application areas (e.g., space deployables, architecture)
A Ph.D. position is available in the AIDE² Lab, directed by Dr. Kasra Momeni, starting Fall 2027. The successful candidate will work on multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions, with an emphasis on the modeling and simulation of material synthesis and processing.
Research scope
This ebook edition of Mechanics of Fibrous Composites presents the mechanics of fiber-reinforced composite materials. Topics include anisotropy, micromechanics, macromechanical behavior of a lamina, classical lamination theory, failure and dsmage, bending, interlaminar stresses,laminated tubes, test methods, material response, and related aspects of the mechanical behavior of fibrous composites. The book emphasizes the development and application of the fundamental equations governing laminated composite materials and structures.
