There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the fall semester of 2021.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.
Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer or Fall 2021 in the area of injury biomechanics research focused on traumatic brain injury and computational modeling.
The overall goal of this research, headed by Dr. Marzieh Memar, is to integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the minisymposium ‘Computational Methods for Modeling Stationary and Non-Stationary Interfaces at Multiple Scales’ at the 16th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (http://16.usnccm.org). The conference is scheduled for July 25-July 29 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Esteemed Colleague,
this post is to invite you all to attend our third free on-line global live TAFMech webinar on Fracture Mechanics-related topics that will take place this Friday (05/02) at 9 AM GMT.
The webinar details are as follows:
Prof. Reinhard Pippan – Austrian Academy of Sciences, Leoben, Austria
Title of seminar: Crack closure: frequently asked questions
Date/time: 5 February 2021 at 9 am (GMT)
HetSys is a recently established EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) which trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, real-world systems across a range of research themes which this year include nanoscale devices, superalloys, laser-plasma interactions etc and future medicines.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on Computational Solid Mechanics, with focus on Cell Adhesion and Mechanobiology. The project is in collaboration with experimental biologists and biophysicists located at UBC and other international laboratories. It will involve the use analytical tools in Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (e.g. Statistical Mechanics), and computational tools such as Finite Element Analysis. The goal will be to derive important scaling laws to understand the mechanical behavior of Biological Cells under different processes such as Motility, Differentiation and Mitosis.
