In this paper we present a methodology for reverse engineering of trabecular bone like architectures using multi-objective topology optimization. We then investigate the mechanical properties of the resulting network structures. Specifically, we show that structures optimized according to Wolff's law alone may be stiffest but they are also fragile.

I am looking for a highly motivated, hard working, and bright student to fill a fully funded MS/ PhD position in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.com). Candidates are expected to have strong background and/ or inclination for math, and coding. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: artificial intelligence, continuum mechanics, numerical methods, finite element methods, analytical chemistry, computational material science, etc.
Please find attached a young postdoc announcement on the "Theoretical and experimental study of polymer nanocoatings for prefilled syringes". The position is addressed to recent PhD graduates (future PhD holders or candidates with less than a year from their PhD defense).
The Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering invites applications at the Assistant Professor level from outstanding individuals with demonstrated expertise or research potential in Advanced Solid Mechanics applied to Extreme Environments. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, loading of materials as a result of in-air or underwater blast or explosion, implosion of structures, impact mechanics, dynamic response of materials under extreme temperatures or pressures, saline or maritime conditions, and dynamic fracture fragmentation. Applicants are expected to have either a strong experimental background, or be expert in the computational modeling of solids under extreme loading conditions.
This is a reminder that the final deadline to submit an abstract to the "Instabilities in Solids and Structures" symposium for the 2019 IMECE is Monday, July 22.

There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the spring semester of 2020.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.
Dear Friends,
I am looking for a postdoctoral candidate who wishes to apply for a JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) fellowship.
This fellowship is a highly competitive scheme and includes a generous monthly salary (at the current exchange rate, around 3000 Euro or 3300 $) plus airfare (round-trip ticket to Japan).
I will support the application as a host and will help writing the proposal.
Applicants are allowed to suggest their own project, but preference will be given to candidates with experience and interest in two topics:
