Our group has multiple PhD positions in the area of computational materials/mechanics available. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals possessing an BS/MS degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science and engineering, or other closely related disciplines. Familiarity with Linux supercomputing environment and strong C++ programming skills are desirable.

The Computational Mechanics and Methods Group (CM3) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interest in the broad research area of computational solid mechanics and methods. Applications of the work focus on DoD hypersonics and NASA thermal protection materials. Ideal applicants should have strong background in computational mathematics, solid mechanics, and programming. Related research experience in material failure modeling and simulation is a plus.

One Ph.D and one Post-doc positions are open now in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (Mechanics, Biomimetics and 3D/4D Printing Research Lab) at Northeastern University.

The research projects are related to computational and/or experimental mechanics of new mechanical metamaterials, bio-inspired materials, and 3D/4D printing. Candidates with background in solid and structure mechanics, materials science and engineering, Finite element simulations, mechanical experiments etc. are all welcome to apply.

PiERG is now seeking applications for the role of Postdoc. The position will be a fixed term contract for a period of 12 months.

Applications by MTU eRecruitment systems only. Applications will not be accepted in any other format. Please log on to www.mtu.ie/vacancies

Dear iMechanicians, I hope that you find the paper below of interest. Glaciology is a challenging and exciting area and I think there is a need to bring more mechanics and physics into it

A stress-based poro-damage phase field model for hydrofracturing of creeping glaciers and ice shelves

he NVH and Experimental Mechanics Laboratory (NVHEM) at Kettering University invites applications for a visiting research scientist position to help in projects related to NVH, structural health monitoring, material modeling, and finite element analysis. Some of these projects are sponsored by major automakers in Michigan

A postdoctoral position will be available at University of Pavia in Italy starting January 2023. The position will be part of an ERC Starting project. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet [at] unipv.it).

May a double restabilization of the trivial path occurr at monotonically increasing compression force?

May movable constraints be exploited to attain target force–displacement curves?

We provide a positive answer to both of these questions in our paper: Koutsogiannakis, Bigoni, Dal Corso. Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints, European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids (2022)
