Fully funded PhD positions in Damage Mechanics and AI

Submitted by Ravi Kiran on Sat, 01/02/2021 - 19:35

I am looking for highly motivated, hardworking, and bright students to fill multiple fully-funded Ph.D. positions in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.org). Candidates are expected to have a strong background in computational mechanics and experimental methods. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable: soft materials, constitutive modeling, artificial intelligence, experimental techniques, continuum mechanics, Additive Manufacturing, etc.

mechanics of morphogenesis

Dear iMechanicians,

Growth-induced deformation or morphoelasticity is an interesting phenomenon ranging from living tissues to biological plants in nature. We recently publish a paper in JMPS that solves some challenging boundary value problems by addressing few key issues in computational morphoelasticity. It might be interesting for you.

iMechanica Journal Club

Jie Yin of North Carolina State University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.

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.
