The Chen lab at Dartmouth is looking for two postdocts in solid mechanics/mechanical metamaterials/soft robotics/biomechanics areas with an expected start date after 7/1/2020.
A Postdoctoral researcher position is available in the Anderson lab in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The Anderson lab seeks a post-doctoral scholar with strong experience in some combination of the following: experimental fracture mechanics, Impact dynamics, dynamic fracture modeling, energetics and/or biomechanics. Please see the attached ad for more information. More information about the Anderson Lab can be found here: https://www.philipslanderson.com/
Northwestern Professor and solid mechanician Yonggang Huang is among the 276 new members elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 2020. He joins the assembly that was founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock, and others who believed the new republic should honor exceptionally accomplished individuals and engage them in advancing the public good.

A joint Ph.D position between two Labs of the Univ lyon: Laboratoire de Mécanique des Contacts et des Structures (LaMCoS UMR CNRS 5259) and Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes (LTDS UMR CNRS 5513) is available.
The subject is financed by the Laboratory of Excellence, namely Labex CeLyA (Centre Lyonnais d’Acoustique), and its duration will be three years. Please see the attached for more details.
(1) Bonding by elastic adhesive contact: This community here is perhaps more familiar with bonding elastic solids by adhesive contact, such as gecko adhesion, or more generally rough surface adhesion. But what about bonding two pieces of metals?

Monolithic Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) exhibit strain softening or elastic-perfectly plastic response under uniaxial loading. However, shape memory alloy particle reinforced BMG matrix composites show strong work hardening in experiments. In our recent paper published in Scripta Materialia, we explain the Mechanistic origins of work hardening in shape memory alloy particle reinforced ex-situ bulk metallic glass matrix composites through three dimensional finite element simulations.
I'm recruiting Ph.D. students (fully funded) to join my research group at Utah State University and work on data-driven multiscale modeling of functional materials. The positions can be started from Fall 2020 or Spring 2021.
Dear iMechanica,
We are very excited to share the news that our recent work on bioinspired materials with self‐adaptable mechanical properties is published in Advanced Materials.
