Dear iMechanicians,

I hope that the following work is of interest. We conduct the first multi-physics fracture simulation of Li-Ion battery electrodes. Phase field was combined with advanced X-ray CT imaging to predict degradation of realistic microstructures.

I have an opening for a postdoc/research fellow for the modeling and simulations of all solid state batteries. The candidate should have the expertise for modeling and simulations using abaqus, and also familiar with the use of representative volumetirc elements. The opneing will be available from Jan 2023 for a duration of two years. Those who are interested can send the CV and relevant publications to Professor Heow pUeh LEE at mpeleehp [at] nus.edu.sg

I am recruting two Postdocs/Research Fellows for research in sonic cage study. The candidates are required to have some experience in one of more of the following aspects:

1. acoustic simulations using comsol.

2. acousitc measurements using impedance tube. 

3. data acquisition and analysis. 

One of the openings will be available from July 2022 for a duration of three years. The second opening will be available from Jan 2023 for a duration of two years. 

The Computational Physics Group at the University of Michigan has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in data-driven computational mechanics. This position can be available as early as July 1, 2022. Research in the Computational Physics Group is focused on developing data-driven, machine learning and some artificial intelligence approaches that interact with a range of computational methods for problems in materials physics, biophysics and in engineering more broadly.

Dear Colleagues, 

The Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, is pleased to announce the winners of prestigious 2022 mechanics awards.

Dear Colleagues, 

We are organizing a symposium at the 2022 SES Conference titled “Mechanics of Electrochemical Systems” (Symposium 6.8). The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading researchers on the electro-chemo-mechanics of next generation electrochemical systems. The symposium will cover experimental, theoretical, and numerical efforts related to electrochemical systems.  

Location: Polytechnic University of Bari, Department of Mechanics Mathematics and Management (DMMM), Via Orabona 4 - 70125 Bari – Italy

Job Type: Full Time

Deadline: A few PhD positions will open soon and every year starting June 2022, deadline to be announced. The application will include CV but also a well written potential project which has to be preliminary discussed with the supervisors.

This note discusses the Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory and the Griffith fracture theory. Both were annunciated in the West in 1921, exactly a century ago. Much progress has been made in these fields. Discussing the deficiencies of the theories might pave way ahead.
