Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow research position at Johns Hopkins University, focused on the computational modeling and nonlinear mechanics of architected materials.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Mechanical/Civil Engineering or a related discipline, and should have demonstrated background in computational solid mechanics. Previous experience with cellular/porous materials is preferred. Excellent written and verbal communication skills and organizational talents are expected.
Dear guys,
I am investigating on “Paperboard Material” for my PhD thesis. As you maybe know paperboard is generally a composite with several layers and whole thickness of around 0.4 mm all.
For the real application this very thin laminated structure would be under both shear and compression forces, and it is also very noticeable that it has also a translating velocity (for example in X direction) around 400 [m/min] in the real production line. Therefore, a big delamination would be occurred on the interfaces of the plies.
The candidate will work with Prof. Hong Hao and Dr. Wensu Chen in the area of structural Engineering on an Australia Research Council (ARC) project.
