A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to cordially invite you to attend the symposium entitled "Mechanics and Physics of Active Materials and Systems" organized under track "Frontiers in Mechanics of Materials" in the Society of Engineering Science (SES) 57th Annual Technical Meeting conference. The conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 28–30, 2020 (https://ccaps.umn.edu/SES).

Ph.D positions now open (for Fall 2020) in Mechanics, Biomimetics, and 3D Printing Lab at Northeastern University/Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department. More information about the lab can be found at https://www1.coe.neu.edu/~yaningli/home.html

Please directly send CV to Prof. Yaning Li at: y.li [at] northeastern.edu  

One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM³L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for nonlinear and multiphysics analysis of rationally-designed architected materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr.

The eigenfunction method pioneered by Galin (J Appl Math Mech 40: 981–986, 1976) is extended to provide a general solution to the transient evolution of contact pressure and wear of two sliding elastic half-planes, under the assumption that there is full contact and that the Archard–Reye wear law applies. The governing equations are first developed for sinusoidal profiles with exponential growth rates. The contact condition and the wear law lead to a characteristic equation for the growth rate and more general solutions are developed by superposition.
