The AIAA with the support of Composite Design and Manufacturing HUB (cdmHUB), NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), and Rolls Royce Corporation funding have established an ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) prize for the best aerospace-focused ICME project. This bi-annual award will not only include recognition at SciTech 2022 conference, but will also provide a $1,500.00 team award.
Open PhD positions are available in the Materials and Mechanics Lab, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University. The research will involve multiscale modeling and characterization of the fracturing of carbon fiber composites. The desired start date is Spring 2021.
The preferred qualifications for the position are:
A position as a Post-doc in the Innovative and Smart Infrastructure Group (ISIG) at the University of Tennessee working with Dr. Wierschem is available starting in Fall 2020. This position is available to US Citizens only. This post-doc will be involved in a research project on vibration isolation. The ideal candidate will have experience in structural dynamics with a PhD in Civil, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Interested candidates should email Dr. Wierschem (nwiersch at utk.edu) with a CV.

Dear colleagues:
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the topic on Printed Hybrid Electronics, Sensors and Energy Devices at the 2020 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE 2020) to be held at Oregon Convention Center, Portland, Oregon from November 15-19, 2020.
Here is a Youtube video link to my recent lecture on the Unification of Newton's Laws and Thermodynamics' Laws at the Thermodynamics 2.0 Conference on June 22-24, 2020.
We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work 18 months on a US Air Force sponsored project focused on developing new image-based tests to identify stiffness and strength of adhesives at high strain rates. Some preliminary results can be found here. The deadline for application is August 4th 2020. The advert is available here.
in recent years the technique of freeze casting has undergone tremendous development. New techniques and novel nanoscale building blocks have given rise to porous materials with extraordinary properties. As an example, by spinning freeze cast fibre with aligned pores fabrics with unprecedented levels of thermal insulation could be produced. This
The relationships between surface roughness, contact pressure and contact resistance are studied in this work published three years ago.
It is imporant to distinguish between the different conduction mechanisms acting at contacts at different scales, in order to better understand how surface structure and surface chemistry can alter the behaviour of electrical contacts
