Ph.D. and Postdoc positions are available in the School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (First Class Academic Discipline) at Central South University in Dr. Li's research group. Lists of topics of interest are:
1. Rain/sand erosion;
2. Fatigue of fiberglass composite for wind turbine blade;
3. Impact mechanics;
A PhD position is available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The position is in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics.
Current topics of interest include:
1) Topological metamaterials
2) Tunable and programmable metastructures
3) Mechanics of multilayer lattices
You are all invited to attend the online workshop “Advanced modelling of membrane structures, with a view to technological application” to be held on next Monday, October 23, see the attached program with the zoom link in the front page. Note that timings are in UK time.
This paper presents an integrated experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic deployment behavior of Composite thin-walled lenticular tube (CTLT) that wraps around a central hub, with emphasis on the effect of long-term storage. The deployment experiments were performed on the CTLT prototype both before and after it had been stowed for extended storage periods. The results indicate that after being stowed for 6 and 10.5 months the CTLT is deployed slower and the deployment time increases by 8.2% and 15.0%, respectively.

Please forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in these positions. Thank you very much!
New PhD position is immediately available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Spring/Summer 2024. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background in solid mechanics and analytical works are encouraged to apply. Master degree is required. Experience with FEM software is a must. Experience with ABAQUS is preferred. Knowledge on soft polymers mechanical behavior is also preferred, but not required. Priority will be given to those who are already in the US.
