A phase-field model based on a modified form of the regularized formulation of Griffith’s fracture theory is presented to investigate intergranular and transgranular crack propagations in polycrystalline brittle materials. Grains and grain boundaries are incorporated in the crack initiation and propagation model based on a phase-field model for grain growth, in which the elastic anisotropy varies based on the grain orientation angle, and the grain boundary energy is related to the misorientation angle of the adjacent grains.

One fully-funded Ph.D. position is now available immediately in the area of computational nanomaterials in the group of Dr. Jihong Ma (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home?authuser=0) at the University of Vermont.

The Memar Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) is accepting applications for an immediate fully funded post-doctoral/research scientist position in injury biomechanics and computational modeling of traumatic brain injury. This position is highly collaborative and will involve working closely with a multidisciplinary team from UTSA, Georgia Tech, Emory University, and Children Hospital of Philadelphia.

A Postdoc position is available in the area of computational solid mechanics in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. Interested qualified individuals who have research experience in computational solid mechanics please send an email to (Sheidaei [at] iastate.edu (Sheidaei[at]iastate[dot]edu)) with your most recent CV, research experience, a list of publications; and a list of references.

There is a new paper in predicting battery aging without testing based empirical models.  "Entropy generation model to estimate battery aging"

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original computational research on biomechanics and fluid dynamics. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms. This position is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.

Duties

This short pamphlet advertises the patented application of methylcellulose hydrogels as potent shock energy mitigators, that could save lives when traumatic organ injury is likely to occur

I am from Apple Hardware Engineering Team, responsible for FEA simulation and related material testing. Our team has one internship position open, starting by the end of 2020. See the attached job description for details. We prefer last year PhD Student.
