Size-dependent shape characteristics of 2D crystal blisters

Submitted by Yifan Rao on

Dear friends, I want to share our recent work on the shape characteristics of 2D crystal blisters. Micro- and nano-sized blisters can form spontaneously when two-dimensional (2D) crystals are transferred onto substrates because liquid molecules that are initially adsorbed on 2D material and substrate surfaces can be squeezed and trapped by interfacial forces. On the one hand, blisters are undesirable in 2D material devices as they impede charge/photon/phonon transport across the interface, so various means were developed to eliminate interfacial blisters. On the other hand, m

Open PhD Position in solid mechanics/elasticity

Submitted by pschiavone on

There is an opening for a funded PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Alberta starting Fall 2023 or Winter 2024, under the supervision of Peter Schiavone. This will involve the development of novel theoretical/computational models and methods in elasticity theory/solid mechanics. Please contact pschiavo [at] ualberta.ca with a cv if interested.

Postdoc in computational modelling of chemical recycling of composites, Denmark

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

Recyclability of composite blades is an important requirement for future wind turbines. There exist a number of solutions for the recycling of wind turbine blades. How to compare and optimize various composite recycling technologies? How to ensure efficiency of technology and quality of products? This will be a task for new postdoc at DTU Wind.
