Title: Snap, Speckle and Spot: Sight and Sound of Hydraulic Fracture

Time: 6:30 am California, 9:30 am Boston, 2:30 pm London, 10:30 pm Beijing on 16 December 2020

Five PhD scholarships (36 months) are available within the project LIGHTEN at UCL, TU Delft and University of Trento. The project is funded through Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks – European Industrial Doctorate.

Each scholarship is unique, has different recruiting institutions and advisors.

Deadlines in January 2021. The start date is 1st of May 2021.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London (UCL) wishes to strengthen, and broaden, its current research activities through the recruitment of an exceptional lecturer in Flight Mechanics, with a proven research track record in spacecraft mechanical design or space flight dynamics and control.

Application Deadline: January 6, 2021.

I attach a preprint of a note on the elegant and interesting and simple theory by Afferrante and Carbone on ultratough peeling of an elastic tape from a viscoelastic substrate.   Any comment is most welcome.   Regards, MC

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental investigation and data analytics.
There are two openings for postdoctoral fellows available immediately. The candidates are required to have expertise in one of the following areas: 1) high-entropy alloys; 2) hot cracking and thermal stress; 3) multiphase/fluid-particle flow modeling. The expertise on additive manufacturing is a plus but not a must.

Applied Mechanics Reviews (AMR) is the flagship review journal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) with 2019 impact factor 6.733. Sponsored since its founding in 1948 by the ASME Applied Mechanics Division, AMR publishes long-shelf-life, state-of-the-art survey articles and retrospective reviews across all subdisciplines of applied mechanics and engineering science, including fluid and solid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics and vibration, and applications.

Extended deadline to 27 January 2021
