Transformation Cloaking in Elastic Plates
In this paper we formulate the problem of elastodynamic transformation cloaking for Kirchhoff-Love plates and elastic plates with both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements. A cloaking transformation maps the boundary-value problem of an isotropic and homogeneous elastic plate (virtual problem) to that of an anisotropic and inhomogeneous elastic plate with a hole surrounded by a cloak that is to be designed (physical problem). For Kirchhoff-Love plates, the governing equation of the virtual plate is transformed to that of the physical plate up to an unknown scalar field.
Post-doctoral position and fellowship
A post-doctoral fellowship at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Looking for an individual with strong modeling and computational skills to conduct research in the area of machining, cutting, and tribology. The starting date is September 1, 2021. I prefer to make an offer by February 2021. For details contact Greg Rodin at gjr [at] oden.utexas.edu

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.
