The project aims at multiscale non-linear simulalations of earthquakes. The candidates should have a solid mechanical background (elasticity + plasticity (preferable)) and an experience in the computational mechanics. The candidates with a knowledge of flow in porous media or/and with an experience with Comsol multiphysics are especially encouraged to apply.
An immediate postdoc position is open in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes.
EML Webinar on 4 November 2020 will be given by Zhigang Suo, Harvard University. Discussion leader: Jimmy Hsia, Nanyang Technological University

This recently accepted paper, to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, reports our detailed experiments on shock energy absorption of methylcellulose hydrogels. A phenomenological model is developed and validated that allows for a quantitative estimate of the attnuated signal as a function of the gel layer thickness and composition.

1. Introduction
In this PostDoc, you will study ways to replace the electronics currently needed to control soft robots by dedicated soft fluidic circuits that will control and power the soft robot. You will e.g. work on embedding smart fluidic circuits that contain soft fluidic sensors, and that harness nonlinear mechanics to allow for direct feedback with the environment. The ultimate aim of this research is to ‘cut the tethers’, and to use such fluidic circuits to have soft robots perform tasks autonomously.
Dear colleagues,
We are looking for PhD students in the broad area of computational mechanics. Our project is specifically focused on applications of machine learning (deep reinforcement learning, graph neural network) for computational plasticity and damage of crystalline and granular materials.
USA citizenship is highly preferred but exceptional cases will be considered. Candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
Where will the composites workforce of the future come from? The demand for and production of composites – these extremely versatile materials – is booming. Why? They offer lighter weight, higher strength, longer fatigue life and higher heat tolerance compared with other materials like aluminum, steel and titanium.
