University Professorship for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics at TU Darmstadt, Germany
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt seeks candidates at the earliest possible date for a Full University Professorship (W3) for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics. We are looking for a scientist with an international reputation and visibility who will represent the field of numerical methods in fluid mechanics in research and teaching.
Tight bounds correlating peak absorption with Q-factor in composites and metallic clusters of particles.
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to read our article, which informs one about the extent to which resonances can be tuned in metamaterials. More precisely, our work provides tight bounds correlating the Quality-factor with peak absorption in dielectric metamaterials. The article is published in Applied Physics Letters and can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0155092
Study of Hydrogen Diffusion in the Microstructure of a Nickel Alloy and its Correlation with Hydrogen Embrittlement
A comprehensive thesis on hydrogen embrittlement authored by Michele De Giosa, Università del Salento, Italy, published exclusively by CYBERNET ⇒ Read Here
Abstract
Multiscale.Sim new version released
Multi materials support in microstructure modeling and a new interface for drape simulation ⇒ Release Notes
What's New
Multiscale.Sim offers powerful microstructure modeling capabilities and it's been one of its unique and most sought after features for a long time. This version update brings most anticipated multiple material support for microstructure modeling.
Discussion of fracture paper #40 - Icicle or carrot, which one has isotropic fracture properties?
Around 20 years ago, I gave a fracture mechanics lecture and talked about crack initiation that happens in the plane with the largest tensile stress. True, at least if the material has isotropic properties. The students already knew where an isotropic material would give the largest stress at bending and torsion. I planned to make a desktop experiment with an icicle and a carrot. This was during the autumn with an abundance of icicles everywhere. The carrot, I found at home.
Multiple PhD Positions in the area of nuclear fuels and advanced characterization methods
We are looking for enthusiastic students with a MSc or BSc degree to conduct research in the area of materials characterization and advanced nuclear fuels. Students with a degree in any of the following disciplines are encouraged to apply:
- mechanical engineering
- materials science and engineering
- physics
Prospective candidates will be assessed based on how well they meet the following criteria:
postdoc position-II: finite element modeling, fracture mechanics
Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the area of finite element modeling of advanced nuclear fuels. This position is a full-time position at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and the selected applicant can start effective immediately.
Postdoc position at Western University, Canada: MD simulation of nuclear fuels
Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the area of molecular dynamic simulation of irradiation effects. This position is a full-time position at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and the selected applicant can start effective immediately. In addition, this position is extendable for two more years, depending on the availability of funds and the applicant’s performance.
