Postdoc Position in Computational Nanomechanics
I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational methodologies, the deformation mechanisms in crystalline nanostructures. The specific emphasis is on predicting the plasticity at timescales that far exceed those possible in classical atomistic simulations, and verifying the predictions through collaborations with experimentalists. The position is available as soon as possible for at least a 1.5-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of funding.
Postdoctoral Position at Oregon State University: Rock-Tool Interaction
I have an opening for a new postdoctoral scholar to join my research group, please see attached. The project is on the field-scale calibration of DEM models. Primary responsibilities include developing and executing large-scale experiments, interpretation and synthesis of results, and collaboration with modelers to perform the calibrations.
Analysis of the influence of microstructural traps on hydrogen assisted fatigue
Dear iMechanicians,
I hope some of you find of interest our latest Acta Mat. paper. We show that the concept of "beneficial traps" can enlarge by an order of magnitude the range of "safe loading frequencies" at which hydrogen embrittlement is not observed.
