A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the aerospace department at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The research project focuses on characterizing the failure modes of flexible skin and their supporting structures for morphing wing applications. Those with a background in aerospace structures, composites material, fatigue and damage accumulation, morphing wings, and compliant/flexible structures are encouraged to apply.

Application submittal information:

The new version of the code presents an improved and more intuitive
management of the subroutine and an easier use of Job monitor dialogue.

The thirteenth biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Hyannis, USA from 13-18 September 2020.

This prestigious and long running conference will bring together delegates from around the world to discuss how to characterize, predict, and analyze the fatigue damage of structural materials.

Metamaterials are rapidly emerging at the frontier of science and engineering. Mechanical metamaterials, in particular, have been designed to show superior mechanical properties, such as ultrahigh stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio, or unusual properties, such as a negative Poisson’s ratio and a negative coefficient of thermal expansion.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline (Engineering Mechanics, Mechanical

Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics), and an established track record evident by

publication in top-quality journals. Expertise in one or more of the following areas is a must:

topology optimization, mechanics of cellular materials, finite element analysis,

Dear Colleagues,
Iowa State University will be hosting the 2020 Midwest Graduate Student Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Symposium, on the weekend of March 7 and 8, 2020.

Please forward the attached flier to your graduate students, and encourage them to submit an abstract to this symposium. Details of the symposium can be found at the following link: https://www.me.iastate.edu/2020midweststudentsemsymposium/.
