Abstract

While stacked objects are ubiquitous, there are few works devoted to modeling their dynamics. In a new paper “On the Dynamics of a Collapsing Stack of Blocks”, coauthored with Theresa Honein we use a generalized alpha numerical method developed by Capobianco et al [1] to simulate the collapse. The examples we consider include the Leaning Tower of Lyre and the collapse of a stack of blocks that is produced by harmonic excitation of a foundation.

Dear colleagues,

We are hiring for the position of a research fellow in computational fluid-structure interaction.

As the research fellow, you will work on the MAPFSI project funded by the EPSRC, developing cutting-edge computational algorithms for challenging FSI problems.

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate Department of Engineering, to work on the Mechanics of Li ion Batteries.

Dear Colleagues,

I am sharing a recent paper titled "Designing Physicochemically‐Ordered Interphases for High‐Performance Composites" published in Advanced Functional Materials. Here is the link to the paper:  https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202502972
