Hiring PhD students - GaTech - Spring 2023

Submitted by christos_edward on

We are hiring PhD students !!

Daedalus, our new research group at Georgia Institute of Technology, has an opening for two PhD students with background in solid/experimental mechanics to work towards developing high throughput fracture testing methods as well as mechanics of green structures. Starting date: Spring 2024. Applications of both experimental and computational backgrounds will be evaluated.

miniSLM at Swiss Light Source reveals temperature excursions during laser-based 3D printing

Submitted by korsunsky on

Excellent paper looking at temperature profiles during LPBF AM (using miniSLM):

Of course, questions remain regarding the validity of temperature estimation method, max temp, max cooling rates etc. - 
but it is an important step in the right direction!

PhD (4 years) on micromechanical testing and interface characterization of composites

Submitted by wvpaepeg on

We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on microscale mechanical characterization of fiber reinforced polymer composites using in-situ microscopic techniques. Much more fundamental insights and measurements at the micro-scale are necessary to enable fully predictive multi-scale modelling and faster adaptation of composites. Therefore, we have developed advanced micromechanical test methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites based on in-situ optical and electron microscopy during loading.
