In this work, we presented biohybrid electronic robots (eBiobot) powered by optogenetic skeletal muscles and controlled by wireless optoelectronics, allowing remote control of switching, steering, and other more sophisticated functions. The eBiobot inherits the structural concept motivated by a physiological muscle-tendon-bone architecture from previously demonstrated walking robots, where 3D engineered skeletal muscle tissue forms around an asymmetric hydrogel scaffold.

The Department of Neurology, Dell Medical School, and the James T. Willerson Center for Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation, Oden Institute, have a jointly administered opening for a Post-doctoral Fellow in the area of Neurovascular mechanics derived from clinical images.

Postdoctoral position in Computational modelling of life extension and maintenance of composite blades of wind turbines, at DTU Wind.

Wind turbines are decommissioned after 20...25 years of service. However, blades can be potentially exploited for 50 or more years. How to predict and extend the lifetime of wind turbine blades? How to optimize repair of blades, to ensure their extended lifetime?

Dear Colleagues,

My research group in the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma is looking for a Ph.D. student to work in the general fields of computational materials science and solid mechanics. Please share the attached flyer with anyone who may be interested.

Thank you

The mission of the ASME Aerospace Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials (SSDM) Conference is to convene and serve the global aerospace structures, structural dynamics, and materials communities, continuing the legacy left behind by the AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC SDM conference. Currently, we are accepting Presentation-only Abstracts (deadline: Feb. 13). The inaugural conference will be held in San Diego (June 19-21 2023). More details can be found at https://event.asme.org/SSDM.

Lallit Anand, Ken Kamrin, and myself have just come out with a new book, Introducation to Mechanics of Solid Materials, published by Oxford University Press.  The target audience is 3rd or 4th year engineering and science students.  https://global.oup.com/academic/product/introduction-to-mechanics-of-so…;

Funded Ph.D. position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering- Engineering Mechanics at the Michigan Technological University. Starting June/September 2023. 

Kindly forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in this position. 

We are looking for a self-motivated Ph.D. student to study Machine Learning enabled computational models for applications in Material Modeling and Computational Mechanics. 

Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate mechanics and numerical modeling of granular materials and debris flows through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.
