Submitted by Jeffrey Kysar on

Postdoctoral Research Scientist Opportunity

The Division of Cardiac, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The individual will be responsible for management of laboratory functions and development of a research program that focuses on translational research and basic science applied to pediatric cardiac surgery.

Time-independent harmonics dispersion relation for time-evolving nonlinear waves

Submitted by mihussein on

"We present a theory for the dispersion of generated harmonics in a traveling nonlinear wave. The harmonics dispersion relation (HDR), derived by the theory, provides direct and exact prediction of the collective harmonics spectrum in the frequency–wave number domain and does so without prior knowledge of the u = u(xt) solution. It is valid throughout the evolution of a distorting unbalanced wave or the steady-steady propagation of a balanced wave with waveform invariance.

On the consequences of cross-link dissociation in hydrogels

Submitted by noyco on

The submersion of a polymer network with a high density of hydrogen bond based cross-links in an aqueous bath results in the formation of a rubber-like hydrogel. The cross-links, which connect chains and maintain the structure of the network, can dissociate as a result of two main factors: (1) the interactions between the hydrogen bonds and the surrounding water molecules and (2) the forces that are exerted on the cross-link from the interconnected chains.

WCCM-APCOM 2022: Mini-symposium on modelling and simulation of coupled solvent transport and deformation

Submitted by Laurence Brassart on

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following mini-symposium at the upcoming WCCM-APCOM Conference to be held in Yokohama, July 31st-Aug 5th, 2022:

0603: Modelling and simulation of coupled solvent transport and deformation

It appears in the Fluid Dynamics and Transport Phenomena section, but it is very much a solid mechanics-oriented mini-symposium!

The (already extended) deadline for abstract submission is January 9.
