Who Should Attend
Dear colleague,
the abstract submission deadline for
CIVIL-COMP 2019
The Sixteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing
16-19 September 2019 Riva Del Garda Congress Centre, Lake Garda, Italy
http://www.civil-compconf.com/
is extended to 6th May 2019.
The day before the SEM Conference this June in Reno, Nevada, USA, we will be teaching a short course entitled Residual Stress 101: https://sem.org/annualprogram. See below for a description of the course. We will cover lots of practical material on residual stresses, much of which is not covered in standard engineering curricula. This is great material for any interested researcher who never got a comprehensive background in residual stress. It will also be great for graduate students or advanced undergrads, and students pay half price.
A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.
The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.
The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.
We have one or more postdoc positions available, to be filled immediately, in my research group. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics. Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on the development and validation of multiscale models for energetic/porous/polycrystalline materials across length scales. More details will be provided to interested candidates.
A PhD Scholarship available in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Topic
Machine learning based approaches for modelling and numerical simulation of advanced materials
Preferred background
Bachelor and/or Master Degrees in Computer Science and/or Material Science.
Strong multidisciplinary background with interest and experience in:
Machine learning, Artificial intelligence, Deep learning;
I uploaded a new paper titled "SP Timoshenko and America".
Will be appreciative for readers' comments.
Thanks,
Isaac Elishakoff
Dear colleagues,
Here is our recently published review article about hydrogel adhesion. Hydrogel adhesion has undergone transformative advances in the last few years. This review article describes these advances, and outlooks future opportunities.
Title: Hydrogel Adhesion: A Supramolecular Synergy of Chemistry, Topology, and Mechanics
Authors: Jiawei Yang, Ruobing Bai, Baohong Chen, Zhigang Suo*
Abstract
I would like to share the codes required to perform an end-to-end molecular dynamics simulation, which will be useful to the novice researchers in the filed of atomistic simulations. I focus on simulating uniaxial tensile tests of a graphene sample in the LAMMPS molecular dynamics simulator, and I have attached two MATLAB scripts to create the input files for LAMMPS and to extract data from the LAMMPS output file.
