Submitted by mponga on
job

A PhD position is available in the Modelling and simulation group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. The position is related to the computational design of lightweight alloys based on high-entropy alloys and metallic materials with nano-architected structure (see sample here). The ideal candidate should have a master degree or bachelors in the area of mechanical engineering.

Multiscale modeling of effective elastic properties of fluid-filled porous materials

The elastic deformation and its dependence on fluid displacement is studied at two distinct scales, to address the multi-scale nature of porous structures in nature.

 

 

 

 

 

Postdoctoral Researcher - Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) Research Group

Submitted by asagna1 on

The Louisiana State University School of Civil and Environmental Engineering seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work with the Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) Research Group on research projects pertaining to computational material modeling and simulation due to a variety of causes including high impact damage, explosions due to energetic materials, other extreme loading conditions, etc. The researcher will also work in strain gradient plasticity to address the characteristics of microstructural material behavior such as size effects and numerical instabilities of shear bands.

A hierarchical hyperelastic-based approach for multi-scale analysis of defective nano-materials

Submitted by M. Jahanshahi on

In this paper, a continuum–atomistic multi-scale method is presented in modeling the nonlinear behavior of nano-materials under large deformation. In order to identify an appropriate strain energy function for crystalline nano-structures with different percentages of spherical voids, the hyperelastic method is employed for specimen whose behavior is determined based on the molecular dynamics analyses. In the atomistic level, the EAM many-body potential is employed to model the interactions between the atoms of Al RVEs.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position and fully funded Ph.D. positions at the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in the general area of advanced manufacturing with an emphasis on dissimilar materials joining innovation and high-speed solid-state additive manufacturing. The research will serve as key enabler for high-volume production of next-generation multi-material lightweight structures in automobiles, trains, ships, and aircraft.

Combined experimental and numerical study of uniaxial compression failure of hardened cement paste at micrometre length scale

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Our group has recently published an article in which, for the very first time, we measure the compressive strength of hydrated cement paste at multi-metre length scale. This study shows that microscopic strength of cement-based materials is many times higher compared to their macroscopic strength.
