The first deadline to apply for a PhD position in Mathematical Analysis, Modelling and Applications at SISSA (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati - www.sissa.it) is February 1, 2021 at noon (Rome time). There are 8 PhD positions available.
A quantitative phase-field model is developed for prediction of solute trapping for solidification velocities relevant to additive manufacturing. S. Kavousi and M. Asle Zaeem, Quantitative phase-field modeling of solute trapping in rapid solidification. Acta Materialia 205 (2021) 116562 (11 pages).
A two-dimensional stress transfer model for platelet reinforcement, Hsueh, Composites Engineering, 1994
Significance:
Despite a few citations, this work provides classical analysis of the stress transfer problem in platelet-reinforced composites, the derivations of the platelet axial stress and interfacial shear stress distributions considering effects of the ends bonding/debonding and the matrix axial stress varying axially and transversely.
One fully funded Ph.D. position is now available immediately in the area of computational nanomaterials in the group of Dr. Jihong Ma (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home?authuser=0) at the University of Vermont.
On behalf of the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (ISSMO), it is our pleasure to invite you to attend thr 14th World Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (WCSMO-14) from June 13-18, 2021.
Dear iMechanica Community,
I would like to bring your attention to four ASME awards as described below. Take a note of the brand new award being inaugurated this year for mid-career researchers. Please spread the word to your colleagues and communities! The deadline for nominations is February 1, 2021.
ASME Materials Division calls nominations for the Orr Early Carrer Award, Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Award, Materials Division Mid-Career Awards, and Nadai Medal.
ORR EARLY CAREER AWARD
The Computational Mechanics and Physics Laboratory at Vanderbilt University has two PhD positions in the area of computational mathematics and mechanics with applications to glaciology. Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, Tennessee, is a leading research-intensive university in the United States in engineering, science and technology.
