Constitutive theory for gels by considering molecular frictions

Submitted by bin.chen on

By directly considering molecular frictions induced on polymer chains, we have developed a nonaffine constitutive theory for large stretch behaviors of gels.

Postdoctoral position at the University of Milan

Submitted by zapperi on

We will have an opening for a postdoctoral position at the CC&B, University of Milan in the group of Prof. Zapperi.  We are looking for candidates with strong programming skills who are interested in working at the frontier between academic and industrial research. The candidates should have a Ph. D in computer science, computational materials science, physics, mathematics or engineering.

Seeking a Postdoc Position in Computational Mechanics and Machine Learning

Submitted by gjwang on

I am a postdoc in the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCLA.  I got a bachelor's degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Harbin Institute of Technology (ranking 1st in our major). I obtained my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Prof. Zdenek Bazant Plenary Lecture at ICDM 4 in Baton Rouge

Submitted by Cemal Basaran on

Prof. Zdenek Bazant (Northwestern University, USA) sent me a copy of the plenary lecture he delivered at Int. Conf. on Damage Mechanics 4 at LSU on May 15, 2023, to be posted. The lecture is about a critique of the theoretical inconsistencies in the Phase Field and Peridynamics techniques. Remarkably interesting talk that will create a significant discussion about the validity of these methods..

 

Postdoc (2 years) on Machine learning techniques for interpretation of vibrational data

Submitted by wvpaepeg on

Additive manufacturing of metal alloys yields great potential for the aerospace industry (and others) as it allows the generation of geometrically complex structures with high specific strength, low density and high corrosion resistance. For example, General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, Boeing incorporated more than 300 printed parts in their 777X airplane … For such critical applications, the structural quality of printed parts is of utmost importance. Small deviations in print conditions, e.g.

Postdoc (1.5 years) on topology optimization of electrical machines

Submitted by wvpaepeg on

Over the past years, UGent-MMS has developed a stand-alone topology optimization code for additive manufacturing applications. The topology optimization software can deal with thermo-mechanical coupled problems, combined with multi-material selection. Such features are not available in any commercial topology optimization code.
The code can also deal with large industrial optimization problems, with millions degrees of freedom in three-dimensional finite element models.

Postdoc (3 years) on finite element modelling of textile materials and processes

Submitted by wvpaepeg on

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for a research project on textile modelling. In this project, the main purpose is to develop a multi-scale textile modelling framework that allows accurate simulation of textile manufacturing processes such as yarn unwinding from a bobbin, weft insertion during weaving, stitching and tufting. This framework is implemented using finite element modelling as well as virtual fibre modelling. Key here are the dynamics of these systems as most textile production happens at high speeds.

PhD (4 years) on experimental characterization of textile materials and their connections

Submitted by wvpaepeg on

We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on textile modelling and characterization. In this project, the main purpose is to develop a multi-scale textile modelling framework that allows accurate simulation of textile manufacturing processes such as yarn unwinding from a bobbin, weft insertion during weaving, stitching and tufting. Besides a strong numerical research focus, there is also an experimental research track focusing on advanced mechanical testing of textile materials and their connections, both on lab-scale and industrial scale (e.g.
