We invite applications for the postdoctoral position in Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Maine. The research area is in the computational modeling of fluid-structure-acoustics interactions, especially the modeling of nonlinear thin wall structure with large strains.
Preferred qualifications are:
1) Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or related fields.
A new class of time-integrators is presented for strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. These algorithms are far superior to the currently common time integrators in computational efficiency and accuracy. These three algorithms are based on a local variational iteration method applied over a finite interval of time.
The School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the area of Computational Mesoscale Plasticity. The successful candidate will model plasticity of single crystals using continuum dislocation dynamics and perform computational solution using finite element method. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in computational materials science and/or computational mechanics, good background in elasticity and plasticity theory, and knowledge of dislocation dynamics.
We are delighted to invite you to attend the American Society for Composites Annual Technical Conference which will be held on the campus of Purdue University, Oct. 23-25, 2017. The conference website is: https://cdmhub.org/groups/asc2017.
The conference welcomes all papers related with various aspects of composites science and technology. There are total of 25 tracks organized. The important dates are:
A continuum dislocation pile-up model is developed to solve problems with arrays of edge dislocations on one or multiple slip planes. The model solves pile-up problems in a discrete dislocation dynamics manner. The effect of anisotropy and stacking fault energy can be naturally modeled. The model is validated by reproducing the solutions of problems for which analytical solutions are available. More complicated phenomena such as interlacing and randomly distributed dislocations are also simulated.
