There will be a mini-symposium titled “Modern Computational Methods in Soft Matter Mechanics " as part of 18th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM 2025) in Chicago (July 20-24, 2025). This mini-symposium focuses on modern methods at the intersections of computational sciences and soft matter mechanics, construed broadly.
We are seeking multiple postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students to join our research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. Our projects focus on the mechanics of architected materials and advanced lithium-ion batteries. For more information, please see the attached details.
A very interesting wear theory by Persson and coworkers has been recently proposed (in fact, it is still under review!).
I make some comments and simplifications here to show general trends

Wear is a complex problem, and I don't think this theory will give easily quantatitative predictions, but it certainly deserves attention.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technologies of the University of Rostock, Germany
is seeking candidates to fill the position of
Professor (W2) of Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics
for an appointment on 01 April 2026.
We have a PhD position at the Technical University of Denmark. The position is in the area of mechanics of materials, with applications to wind energy and composite materials. The position is for 3 years, starting in Spring 2025. The salary is of the order of 4.500 EUR (minus taxes). The campus is located in Roskilde, 30 km from Copenhagen.
The project will include computational modelling (finite elements) of extra-large wind turbine blades, and numerical analysis of the blade failure mechanisms.
A research fellow position is available at University of Pavia in Italy (contract starting next March 2025). Deadline for application: January 30, 2025.
