Our group has recently published a new paper on simulations and modelling of mechanical properties of cement paste in Cement and Concrete Research, the leading journal in the field.
Abstract:
In this research work, a new higher order shear theory has been developed and a new method is used to estimate interlaminar stresses using constitutive law.
The above positions are available at the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University, UK.

Natural convection occurs in many engineering systems such as electronic cooling and solar collectors. Nusselt number (Nu) is one of the most important parameters in these systems that should be under control. This investigation is a comprehensive heat transfer analysis for partially differentially heated cavities with a small thin fin mounted on the hot wall of the cavity to increase or decrease the Nu. A Boussinesq approximation was utilized to model the buoyancy-driven flow.

Abstract
The Hurley Research Group at Johns Hopkins University welcomes applications for PhD students to join the group in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
We have immediate openings for candidates in the areas of a) computational solid mechanics and b) experimental biomechanics.
Candidates with strong background in numerical simulations (finite element analysis, high performance computing, ...) or previous strong experience in experimental characterization of materials are encouraged to apply. To be considered, please send CV with a cover letter, and copy of journal publications to hatami [at] uic.edu .
