A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of Mechanics of Materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.
Further details may be obtained from Ms Hambro-Fernandez (Div-C [at] eng.cam.ac.uk (Div-C[at]eng[dot]cam[dot]ac[dot]uk))
This video explains the very fundamental points with regard to plasticity theory. It covers the following -
1) Why study plasticity ?
2) Additive decomposition of strain
3) stress and strength
4) Yield condition , flow rule & hardening rule

Several Ph.D. student positions are available in Professor El-Azab’s group with the School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University. The group performs advanced theoretical and computational research in the areas of mesoscale plasticity and dislocation dynamics, radiation effects in materials, microstructure evolution, phase field method development, and computational methods for materials science and mechanics. Applicants with MS in mechanical, aerospace, or materials engineering, with background in microstructure science, continuum mechanics and elasticity, numerical methods or computational techniques such as finite element method are highly preferred. Knowledge of at least one advanced programming language such as Fortran or C++ is required. Exceptional applicants with BS degree will also be considered. The openings are for spring 2018, summer 2018 and fall 2018. Applicants must meet Purdue University and School of Materials Engineering admission criteria. For inquiry please send email to Professor El-Azab (aelazab [at] purdue.edu).
Hello.
I study solid mechanics at a graduate school.
I tried to derive tangent modulus of the Mooney-Rivlin based Neo-Hookean material.
There might be no error in my derivation, but answer is wrong with referred right answer.
So, could you check my derivation?
I attached my derivation as a figure.
