Ph.D. position in material modelling

Submitted by cbrandl on

Please see attached pdf for detailed information.

The group Material Science and Simulations (Helena Van Swygenhoven) is looking for a PhD candiate perfoming atomistic simulations on dislocation/interface interaction. The group performs research in the structural and mechanical properties of metal, alloys and composites using in-situ testing facility and is exploiding synergies with computational material science.

strain evaluation in relaxed nanowires

Submitted by Yongfeng Zhang on

Due to the existence of surface stress, the interior of a free standing nanowire is in non-zero stress state especially near free surface (see attached). This stress state corresponds to strain field in nanowires. A reference configuration would then be necessary to define the strain. Any good suggestions on the selection of the reference configuration?

Finite element modelling fracture mechanics of polymer/clay nanocomposites

Submitted by CeciliaPisano on

I am Cecilia. In 2007 I graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy).

During the degree courses I took several classes on structural mechanics, including, Mechanics of Composite Materials,

Fracture Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (with Ansys and Abaqus).

Now I am a PHD student at the Univesity of Cagliari and this is the aim of my research:

Finite element modelling of polymer-clays nanocomposites with
