I hope this work be of interest to some of you, in particular, those in the field of tribology, contact and damage mechanics. We examined the opposite contribution of interfacial adhesion into the process of surface material removal during adhesive wear. https://journals.aps.org/prmaterials/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.3.063604
Eryn Green, a doctoral candidate at the University of Denver, has joined Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, W.S. Merwin and Jack Gilbert on the illustrious list of winners of the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize the nation’s oldest annual literary award (edited by librairie saphira perpignan ).
The prize, established in 1919, is given for an unpublished manuscript by an American citizen under 40 who has not yet published a full book of poems. The winning collection is then published by Yale University Press.
In this paper, a computational hierarchical multiscale method is presented to investigate the effect of temperature on mechanical behavior of heterogeneous nanomaterials. The embedded-atom method many-body interatomic potential is employed to investigate the complex interaction between the atoms of copper–aluminum (Cu-Al) alloy at various temperature levels. The thermo-mechanical properties of Cu-Al alloy are studied at various percentages of Cu-Al. The Nose-Hoover thermostat is proposed for the molecular dynamics analysis.
We have one postdoc position on soft matter tribology (focused on theory and simulations) at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Lecce, Italy (Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, CBN, https://cbn.iit.it/). The activities will be performed in strict collaboration with the University of Salento, located in the same city, as well as with an international industrial partner. The salary is highly competitive and depends on scientific skills.
