Two Postdoctoral Positions at School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral scientists are sought to work with Dr. Kun Zhou at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore on the following areas:
Post Doc Fellow Position at The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
A full time Postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Sensory Motor Performance Program at The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
Under the general supervision of the assigned Senior Research Scientist, the Post Doc Fellow will be responsible for the development of a three-dimensional multi-scale finite element model of the human knee, and will compute the stress/strain fields in the joint soft tissues before and after common orthopaedic surgeries using three-dimensional hyper-elastic formulation.

We welcome applications for a fully funded PhD position in the field of experimental mechanics and materials science. Further details in the attachment.
A computational model of hydrostatically coupled dielectric elastomer (HCDE) actuators
Abstract:A hydrostatically coupled dielectric elastomer (HCDE) actuator consists of two membranes of a dielectric elastomer, clamped with rigid circular rings. Confined between the membranes is a fixed volume of a fluid, which couples the movements of the two membranes when a voltage or a force is applied. This paper presents a computational model of the actuator, assuming that the membranes are neo-Hookean, capable of large and axisymmetric deformation. The voltage-induced deformation is described by the model of ideal dielectric elastomer. The forc
nanoscale creep!
creep at nanoscale! why??
I hope we could start a discussion here..for more see the following articles in JOM.

direct correspondence betwene stress-thermal condctivity-strain
Using a new experimental setup have now proved that one could actually draw a thermal conductivity-strain relationship in the same way as stress-strain relation!
What remains to be seen is that whether this relationship is tensorial or not! Details are in the paper..
