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

At the University of Parma (Italy) a call for supporting students possessing a Ph.D. degree and wishing

to apply to the prestigious Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship is now open.

I have three fully funded positions to allow you to work towards a PhD in the following areas:

A video lecture on a newly developed theory to determine material properties from observed kinematic data, e.g. digital image correlation data. This may be useful for a range of investigations into heterogenous mechanical properties. 

There is an opening for a funded PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Southampton starting Fall 2023 or Spring 2024, under the supervision of Dr. Benjamin Cameron. This will involve the development of novel theoretical/computational methods to extract material properties from digital image correlation (or digital volume correlation) data in complex settings. See below for a more detailed description of the project. 

I would like to inform the fracture mechanics community of an asymptotic solution for the steady-state mode I crack problem for an elastic / perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditons.  See the following article in ZAMP, i.e., 

There are openings for funded PhD positions in Dr. Yue Zheng's lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Drexel University, starting in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024. We're looking for highly motivated students who have a strong interest in the mechanics of soft materials and metamaterials. 

Check Yue ZHENG - Research (google.com) for Dr. Zheng's past work.

A new PhD position is available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Fall 2023. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background on solid mechanics and analytical works are encouraged to apply. Experience with FEM software is a must. Experience with ABAQUS is preferred. Master degree and previous experience in surface mechanics is a plus, but not required.
