The Mechanics of Infrastructure Materials research group are looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work in the development of new phase field-based models for predicting localised corrosion (pitting and stress corrosion cracking). The work is part of a wider project, led by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda, that builds upon our recent JMPS work (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2020.104254).
Structural Engineering Reports are insightful reports prepared by a professional engineer that check for potential damages by evaluating property structures and substructures, identify the root cause of damage, and provide recommendations on foundation repairs.
The Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark is advertsing new PhD-positions within 15 topics.
The PhD projects #5 to #9 in the Wind Energy Materials and Components Division all relate to wind turbine rotor blades, which are very large composite structures - the largests blades are now exceeding 100 metre in length. The PhD-projects cover various aspects of fibre composites from full blade structural scale down to materials scale.
Have you ever though about what make composite materials fail under cyclic loading? In the paper we collect evidence of what is fatigue damage actually is. We combine the collected clues into a conceptual model for fatigue damage in unidirectional composites. Next, we formulate a mathematical micromechanical model. The model can predict the fatigue life of a unidirectional fibre composites from the basic mechanics properties of the fibre, matrix and the fibre/matrix interface.

Exploring the Low Cycle Fatigue Performance of FFF Steel 316L
We are happy to announce the 2021 SES Meeting to be held in October. This year’s SES Meeting is an exciting departure from conventional virtual conferences. It will be organized as a Virtual Month (https://socengsci.org/ses-virtual-month/) spread over five days (October 1, 5, 15, 19, and 29). Each day will be a theme, which includes a fishbowl event, presentation, and poster session. A fishbowl is similar to a panel discussion, but with more interaction and informality.
A fully funded PhD position in close collaboration with the manufacturing industry is immediately available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at École de Technologie Saupérieure, Montréal, Canada.
The selected candidate is required to:
- have B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering – Solid Mechanics,
- be talented, highly motivated, responsible, organized, and creative,
- have a strong background in Finite Element Method (FEM),
- have solid knowledge about deformation (stress-strain) analysis,
Fully funded PhD positions are available at Computational Materials Design Lab (https://mamivand.weebly.com/). The lab’s projects are focused on Computational Materials Science and Materials Informatics.
