While it is easy to imagine why bend testing needs to be performed on rigid materials like plastics (ASTM D790) and concrete (ASTM C1609), in reality bend test applications are common in a variety of industries. Universal testing machines equipped with bend fixtures are used to calculate flexural modulus, flexural strength, yield point, and more.

A PhD position in the area of computational materials science is available in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals possessing a MS or BS degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines. This position will conduct multiphysics modeling on the MOOSE (http://mooseframework.org/) platform and a background in phase field modeling with strong c++ programming skills is desirable.
