~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am looking for a post-doct or PhD student to work on multi-scale defect effects on polycrystalline graphite. The study heavily involves transmission electron microscopy, x-ray CT and modeling. The ideal candidate will have strong background in TEM and experimental mechanics. Please, no need to apply if you dont have these qualifications.

Discussion of fracture paper #32 - Fatigue and machine-learning

Submitted by ESIS on

The paper, "A machine-learning fatigue life prediction approach of additively manufactured metals" by Hongyixi Bao, Shengchuan Wu, Zhengkai Wu, Guozheng Kang, Xin Peng, Philip J. Withers in Engineering Fracture Mechanics 242 (2021) 107508, p. 1-10., adopts a very interesting view of the correlation between fault geometry and fatigue properties. A simplified statistical description of irregular faults in large numbers is used.

Shock response of polymers

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

Our latest article “Quantum and classical molecular dynamics simulations of shocked polyurea and polyurethane” is available freely for 50 days from this URL: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1eJem3In-urdzV

 

 

Highlights of the article are as follows:

• Quantum molecular dynamics were used to compute shock Hugoniot data up to 75 GPa.

• The shock response of polyurea and polyurethane are remarkably similar.
