Marie Curie Research Fellowship available in Aberystwyth University (UK)
Within the IAPP research poject INTERCER2 (http://intercer2.unitn.it/) coordinated by me, the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Aberystwyth University (Research unit coordinator: Prof. Gennady Mishuris) is seeking to appoint a research lecturer in mathematical modelling. The successful candidate will have had research experience in the respective areas of Applied Mathematics and possess a PhD having less then 10 years experience. This is a two year fixed term post.

Effects of the constraint’s curvature on structural instability: tensile buckling and multiple bifurcations
Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?
We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html
Can you imagine a mechanical system that is stable without friction, but suffers a flutter instability when friction is 'added'?
Have you ever seen a structure subject to flutter instability?
Can flutter instability be connected to dry friction?
We provide positive answers to the above questions, watch the video at
Can an elastic structure buckle under tensile dead load?
We all know Euler buckling of a beam under axial thrust, but can buckling occur in an elastic structure in which all elements are subject to tensile dead loading?
