Invitation to submit papers to Experimental Mechanics special issue: Mechanics of Additively Manufactured Materials
POSITIONS SUMMARY
Fully funded PhD positions are available at the Dynamic Matter Group in Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Clemson University: https://www.clemson.edu/cecas/departments/me/.
The main aim of this project is to develop a robust computational framework for investigating the hydro-chemo-mechanical aspect of concrete carbonation at meso-scale.
CMMM2019, 29 - March 2019, Suzhou, China
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Chair (Prof. K.M. Liew), I am very pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference on Modeling in Mechanics and Materials will be held from 29 - 31 March 2019 in Suzhou, China.
Composite Materials & Dynamics Laboratory (http://cmdl.missouri.edu/) at University of Missouri develops innovative solutions for Solid Mechanics and Structured Materials, in particular the new frontiers of structural dynamics, wave propagation, micromechanics, topological and quantum mechanics, smart materials and dynamical behaviours of multi-functional materials, both man-made and formed naturally, and understanding relationship between microstructures and material macroscopic properties.
Here are some definitions which I have in my mind about the hierarchy of field theories of any kind. Please read them and correct me if there is any misunderstanding. Then I shall raise two questions based on this model of thought about the Mindlin's strain gradient and Eringen's nonlocal linear elasticity theories.
Definition 1. Two field theories are the same if and only if the field equations of one can be obtained from the other.
We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research position in the Computational & Experimental Materials Engineering Laboratory, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University starting immediately.
The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until position is filled. This will be a one year position renewable depending on performance.
The candidate must have:
The residual stress that I am talking about is mostly tensile and thermally induced. The stress is observed on the surface only upto a very small depth in the thickness direction. Is this kind of stress significantly damaging from a fatigue perspective?
Also, what would be effect of the residual on the strength?
Is it possible that some sort stress relaxation could occur and the residual gets dissipated?
