A fully supported PhD position in computational mechanics and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University. The position is part of a collaborative project led by Drs. Rigoberto Burgueño, Paolo Celli, and George Moutsanidis. The successful applicant will work within an interdisciplinary research team focusing on the design of innovative structures for marine hydrokinetic energy devices, and will concentrate on the development and application of advanced numerical techniques to support these efforts.
In this paper, we present a large-deformation formulation of the mechanics of remodeling. Remodeling is anelasticity with an internal constraint---material evolutions that are mass and volume-preserving. In this special class of material evolutions, the explicit time dependence of the energy function is via one or more remodeling tensors that can be considered as internal variables of the theory. The governing equations of remodeling solids are derived using a two-potential approach and the Lagrange-d'Alembert principle.

dear collegues
I have been attracted recently by a theory from Shrimali and Lopez-Pamies which is based on experimental evidence obtained from Suo's group in Harvard in 2012 in a (limited, but significant) set of experiments on rubber. The theory assumes that the stretch to nucleating a crack is constant and independent on stretch rate. The theory is then built on that, to predict the increase of fracture energy with rate.
Dear Colleagues,
We are guest-editing a special issue of Applied Composite Materials (IF 2.3, an SCI-indexed journal of Springer, no publication fee) with a theme of Environmental Durability of Composite Materials and Structures. This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers to share their latest progress in the study of the environmental durability of composite materials and structures. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
