Hello eveyone
I am struggling in computing the energy release rates (ERRs) for a kinked carck from an interface crack. I have used the Revised VCCT. I made the calcuations by hand. I wonder if I can implement the kinked crack in Abaqus and let it do the calculations of the ERRs.
A fully funded PhD position is available as early as Spring, 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa), the department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.

Dynamic Systems and Intelligent Machines (DSIM) Lab at the San Diego State University has an open PhD position in the areas of perception, planning, and control of autonomous systems. Highly motivated applicants with prior experience in robotics, control, and machine learning and strong programming skills and mathematical background are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
Dear iMechanicians. I hope that you find the below work interesting - we have developed the first phase field formulation for hydrogen assisted fatigue. Fatigue crack nucleation and growth is predicted for arbitrary geometries, loading histories, and H contents. Virtual S–N curves are also obtained. You can check it here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2021.106521
Call for Abstracts
Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a symposium on
Thermodynamic Modeling of Void Evolution, Fatigue, and Tribo-Wear
at the 19th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, June 19-24, 2022, taking place in Austin, Texas, USA.
If you are working in the field of mechanics and use thermodynamics for modeling, you are cordially invited to submit your abstract to our symposium no later than December 18, 2021. For more information, please visit
We are seeking strongly motivated candidates to fill two Research Fellow positions in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The successful candidate will work on experimental studies in the area of bioprinting, nano-bio interface and bio-hybrid soft robotics. We are particularly interested in candidates with research experience in tissue engineering, drug delivery, mechanobiology and applied mechanics.
Required Qualifications:
A postdoc position in solid mechanics is available immediately at the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse University (SU). The ideal candidate will focus on experimental (70%) and computational (30%) solid mechanics research with applications in soft robotics. The candidate will work under the advising of Profs. Wanliang Shan and Teng Zhang, with funding support mostly from startup funds at SU. To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter to Profs.
