Postdoc/PhD position in Computational (solid and structural) Mechanics in Tel Aviv University
Recently developed mathematical tools based on the discrete Fourier transform will enable modeling of fracture phenomenon in materials with periodic hierarchical microstructure.
The postdoc position is for one or two years, and PhD is a usual Phd program. More info on the project is in attached file.
Postdoc in solid mechanics, particularly paper mechanics
KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Our research and education covers a wide area including natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as in architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy.
Full PhD scholarship available - composite material modelling at University of Southern Queensland
We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on numerical modelling of composites manufacturing. Automation drives down the production cost in composites manufacturing. The project focus on self-learning process modelling coupled with real-time pressure field monitoring. The integrated virtual-physical approach aims for : (1) real-time prediction of defect formation, and (2) real-time optimisation of process correction parameters. Self-learning process modelling is the enabling technology towards smart factory.

CDM (Crack band theory)
Hi, I am working on Continum damage mechanics based on crack band theory. The damage initiation is based on Hashin-Rotem theory. I am trying to simulate damage in composite laminates.
I need to store crtical values of stress and strains when Hashin-Rotem equations reaches one (when failure initiates). Is any one aware of getting unique value of critical stress and strains ?
Two positions at the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia
Two positions are open for Ph.D. or Masters students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. The positions are joined with the Modeling and Simulation group and the Micro and Nano mechanics laboratory. We are looking for skilled and highly motivated individuals to pursue a Ph.D. or M.A.Sc. in the area of multiscale modeling of materials and solids mechanics. Two projects are available:
Gyro-elastic beams for the vibration reduction of long flexural systems
The paper presents a model of a chiral multi-structure incorporating gyro-elastic beams. Floquet–Bloch waves in periodic chiral systems are investigated in detail, with the emphasis on localization and the formation of standing waves. It is found that gyricity leads to low-frequency standing modes and generation of stop-bands. A design of an earthquake protection system is offered here, as an interesting application of vibration isolation. Theoretical results are accompanied by numerical simulations in the time-harmonic regime.
new postdoc opening at University of Wisconsin-Madison
We invite applications for a post-doctoral researcher position in the general area of computational design.
Candidates with strong background in isogeometric analysis, finite element analysis, structural optimization, and/or high-performance computing are encouraged to apply.
