Postdoc positions are available in the group of Prof. JG Zhu at Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of solid experimental mechanics are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental and computational mechanics, composite materials and structures.
Dear Colleagues,

An all-natural bioinspired structural material for plastic replacement, Guan, Yang, Han, Ling, Yu, Nature Communications, 2020
Novelty/impact/significance:
A strong (stiffness 20 GPa and strength 281 MPa), tough (11.5 MPa m1/2), lightweight (1.7 g/cm3), and thermal-resistant (thermal expansion coefficient 7x10-6K-1) composite material is created, using all-natural raw materials through a mass-producible method.
Dear all,
I would like to ask you for advice. I am about to simulate a pull-through test (see attached picture) of a cladding panel made of a material with highly viscoelastic behaviour. I have parameters for Maxwell model (Prony series) obtained from test. I expect large deformation and probably cone failure (or tearing of the cladding panel). Therefore I would like to use Abaqus/Explicit. The problem is that I cannot use *visco step together with Explicit. Is there any way to solve it?
Postdoc position available on Mechanics/Tribology and/or Triboelectric Nanogenerators at the University of Glasgow's James Watt School of Engineering. Applicants with background in mechanics, tribology or triboelectric nanogenerators (including device fabrication and testing) are welcome. Closing date: 08-Dec-2020
