The Graduate School -1483 of the German Research Foundation (DFG) “Process Chains in Production - Interaction, Modeling and Assessment of Process Zones” at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences invite applications for a PhD candidate position (Salary scale TV-L E13).

Postdoctoral Associate

Submitted by karelmatous on

The Computational Physics Group at the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the post-doctoral associate position in Computational Science and Engineering. The successful candidates will be a key part of a team that is developing and implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE’s with emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc.

Journal Club Theme of June 2015: Gradient structures for optimal mechanical design

Submitted by Yujie Wei on

The outmost surface of engineering materials typically faces the most severe risk of damage. When such boundary conditions are given, employment of graded structures is desired to enhance the safety of the structure in an economic way [1]. Mechanically, adopted gradient structures typically involves change in Young’s modulus or strength, and are beneficial to crack shielding, reducing stress concentration, retarding shear localization, etc.

Opening for PhD student at Lille 1 university North France

Submitted by gayoub on

The work involves working independently and collaboratively on "Investigating the fatigue life of different grades of polyethylene". The Phd student will be conducting heavy experimental work to fully characterize the fatigue property of Polyethylene. The modeling part is the second part of this work; which involves developing criterion and cumulative damage laws to predict the fatigue life of polyethylene under multiaxial loadings.
