Dear all,
Our group at TU Delft has recently published two articles dealing with use of numerical fracture models for design of capsule carriers for their use in self healing concrete.
For design of tubular capsules: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311861983_Simulation-Aided_Des…
The Institute for General Material Properties of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is inviting applications for a group leader in the area of Computational Materials Science. The Materials Modeling Group conducts research into the elementary defects of the crystalline lattice and on how their organization and interaction influence the mechanical properties and failure of metallic materials.
We have a permanent position (equiv. Associate/Full Professor) opening in the field of Computational Mechanics of Materials and Structures.
Location: Centre des Materiaux, MINES ParisTech, Paris/Evry, France. All details are in the attached file.
Applications are invited for three PhD and two postdoc positions in the area of computational mechanics of materials at the University of Padova, Italy.
The successful candidates will work at building a multiscale model for the study of contact, friction and solid lubrication between metal surfaces, sponsored by an ERC consolidator grant.
This video gives a basic overview of the most fundamental hardening models of plasticity, which are the isotropic and kinematic hardening
Hope this helps!

Structural hierarchy through self-assembly
Architected materials with nano and microscale features can have extraordinarily high strength, stiffness, and toughness per weight. Two well-known biological materials with these characteristics are nacre (mother of pearl)1 and the claw of the mantis shrimp.2 These materials are made of up periodic arrangements of hard domains interspersed with soft matter (Fig. 1). Structural hierarchy exists at different length scales, and varies spatially across the material.
Dear Friends,
Please find our paper on Nature Communications about a novel method to bond hydrogel and elastomers. Comparing to existing methods, our method features the applicability to various manufacturing processes, including dip-coating and 3D printing.

Abstract
We are looking for a C++ or CSharp Programmer and a post-doctoral fellow to couple our in-house Isogeometric BEM/FEM and Collocation approach to Rhino3D. Funding is available for 12 months of post-doc as well as programming time for a GUI and interfacing with Rhino3D. Freelance programmers are welcome to apply. Knowledge of elasticity, linear algebra and BEM acceleration are a plus.
Contact me for more information including your IGA experience, BEM/FEM experience and background in mechanics.
Best wishes!
Stéphane
MSG is a powerful tool to analyze the global-local field analysis in any type of composites irrespective of the shape of the constituents. You may check the link here under to see what is happening at microscale due to global loading.
