Our industrial group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at École de Technologie Supérieure is seeking a talented and highly motivated MSc/PhD candidate who has a strong background in 3D Metrology, Computational Metrology, Computer-Aided Inspection, and CAD/CAM.

The candidate (especially the PhD candidate) should have solid knowledge about Point Cloud and considerable expertise in PolyWorks Software.

The selected applicant will receive financial support.

Application deadline: April 25, 2021

Start date: Summer 2021

A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on examining impact physics and high-strain rate mechanical properties of polymeric and nanostructured materials using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and multi-scale methods such as systematic coarse-graining techniques.

There are two immediate postdoc positions in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes. 

cdmHUB invites you to attend the Global Composites Experts Webinar Series. 

Title: Rheology of Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic Polymer Composites

Speaker: Dr.  R. Byron Pipes

Time: 4/22, 11AM-12PM EST.

Esteemed Colleague,

following the success of the first series of webinars, as the Editor-in-Chief of Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics (TAFMech, https://www.journals.elsevier.com/theoretical-and-applied-fracture-mechanics/), this e-mail is to invite you to attend the following free on-line global live webinars on Fracture Mechanics-related topics:

A postdoctoral  position is open at Université Gustave Eiffel, France. The project will focus on Centrifuge Modelling of soft soil reinforced by rigid inclusions subjected to seismic loading. The post-doctoral researcher will carry out experimental studies on the soil-rigid inclusion-superstructure interaction taking into account several highlighted factors. The experimental study will also provide essential data for numerical modeling.

Start date: October, 2021

Application deadline: Open until Filled

I would like to direct your attention to our 1st Virtual FRASCAL Colloquium which is organized by the DFG funded Research Training Group GRK 2423 "FRASCAL - Fracture across Scales".

Recent advances in microprojectile impact tests have opened a new route to explore the behaviors of nanomaterials under extreme dynamic conditions. For example, impact tests have revealed that the specific penetration energies of ultrathin polymer films are remarkably high compared to the energies of conventional protective materials. The current experimental techniques are, however, unable to elucidate some of the complex atomistic mechanisms associated with the penetration process, which can only be realized through atomistic simulations.

Our new review article [open acess] on damage, void evolution, and fatigue life prediction models. We tried to include everything done in the last 20 years. My apologies if we missed your work.
