Optomechanics of Soft Materials
Ruobing Bai and Zhigang Suo
We are looking for three postdoctoral researchers to work at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
1. Two researchers are to work on water remediation and desalination using computational methods at the atomistic level.
2. One researcher is to work on fracture behavior of weldments using computational methods at the microstructural leve.
Peridynamic theory of solids from the perspective of classical statistical mechanics
R. Rahman, J.T. Foster
Mechanics of wrinkle/ridge transitions in thin film/substrate systems
Lihua Jin, Atsushi Takei, JohnW.Hutchinson
To improve further computational tools for fracture, we need a
talented phd. We are developping transition models from damage
to fracture for several type of materials (quasi-brittle and ductile).
The position will be open until filled. Please send me your CV
if you are interested.
The theoretical framework is the Thick Level Set model for damage (TLS)
and the numerical implementation uses level sets and the extended
finite element method (X-FEM).
The research team currently gathers 9 persons.
Computational Biomechanics for Medicine X (http://cbm.mech.uwa.edu.au/) will be held in Munich, Germany, on 5 October 2015, in conjunction with MICCAI 2015 (http://www.miccai2015.org/).
Dear colleagues and friends,
Please consider to contribute a talk at the symposium of “Mechanics of Instability and Interfacial Adhesion in Bio-Compatible Electronics”, organized for the 52nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The SES 2015 meeting will be held at Texas A&M University, Oct 26-28, 2015. Abstracts are due Jun 26, 2015.
The Graduate School -1483 of the German Research Foundation (DFG) “Process Chains in Production - Interaction, Modeling and Assessment of Process Zones” at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences invite applications for a PhD candidate position (Salary scale TV-L E13).
