We currently have one postdoctoral research position available in the Injury Biomechanics Laboratory at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA. This position involves the development of high-fidelity finite element head models and the design of computational studies to advance our understanding of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI).  A Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanics, or related field is required.

I am looking for an enthusiastic Student or Postdoc who would like to enhance his/her knowledge in the field of Computational Mechanics. The focus in this three-year research project is about Modular peristaltic surface conveyor with AI based digital twin for polybags and includes the simulation of elastomer membranes by using Isogeometric Analysis and AI generated material models. The deadline for application is the 6th of February. 

We are now accepting applications for the fully-funded PhD position (applicable worldwide) on Computational Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction problems.

The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) invites applications for a tenure-track position in a broad scope of the department's research areas at the level of Assistant/Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2024 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.

Our latest paper, " Exploring the Effects of Temperature, Transverse Pressure, and Strain Rate on Axial Tensile Behavior of Perfect UHMWPE Crystals Using Molecular Dynamics," is accessible freely for 50 days from this link: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1kT-A4rCEkw1es

The key findings can be summarized as follows:

• Elevated temperatures significantly reduce the strength of UHMWPE crystals, with the reduction in strength being more pronounced than that in modulus. 

Fully-funded PhD opportunity at the Durham University Department of Engineering! Topology optimisation for fibre-reinforced polymer composites.
