Intro
Ryan C. Hurley takes the role of the next Editor of iMechanica Journal Club
Ryan C. Hurley of the Johns Hopkins University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.
Funded PhD positions in the area of neutron irradiation effects on metals
We are looking for self-motivated and enthusiastic students with a degree in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with following backgrounds are strongly recommended to apply:
Discussion of fracture paper #36 - The Double-K Fracture Model
The fracture of concrete and other semi-brittle materials offers some simplifications that simplify the analytical analysis. The simple check that reveals if something broken requires an elastic or an elastic-plastic fracture mechanical analysis by just trying to fit the pieces together sometimes fails. The suggestion is that if they do not fit together, we have an elastic-plastic fracture and if they do we have an elastic fracture. We may jump to the false conclusion that linear elastic fracture mechanics can be applied.
postdoc positions available in the areas of computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and aeroelasticity
The Gu Research Group at UC Berkeley has postdoc positions available in the areas of computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and aeroelasticity. Interested candidates should contact Prof. Grace Gu at ggu [at] berkeley.edu and attach your CV.

Bridging necking and shear-banding mediated tensile failure in glasses
The transition between necking-mediated tensile failure of glasses, at elevated temperatures
and/or low strain-rates, and shear-banding-mediated tensile failure, at low temperatures and/or
high strain-rates, is investigated using tensile experiments on metallic glasses and atomistic simula-
tions. We experimentally and simulationally show that this transition occurs through a sequence of
macroscopic failure patterns, parametrized by the ultimate tensile strength. Quantitatively analyz-
