One Ph.D position is open for Fall 2018 in Mechanical Engineering at the Univesrity of New Hampshire.
The student will work on the NSF/CAREER project on Mechanics of Chiral Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials.
(theory, finite element simulations, 3D printing, and mechanical experiments)
The candidate will also have opportunity to apply for the CEPS fellowship.

We have new openings for two PhD students –fully funded - in the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at McGill University, starting Fall 2018 (Application deadline: 01/15/2018)
Applications are invited for a PhD position at Johns Hopkins University (beginning Fall 2018) on a collaborative project between the labs of Extreme Mechanics of Architected Materials (Prof. Stavros Gaitanaros) and Mechanochemistry And Functional Imaging Applications (Prof. Yun Chen) at Johns Hopkins University.
The project will focus on the combination of multi-scale modeling and experiments in order to examine the mechanical behavior of DNA origami nanostructures.
Hi
I have B.Sc from Sharif University of Technology, Iran and M.S. from Northeastern University in Boston, US, both in Mechanical Engineering.
I have a strong background in Mathematics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Vibrations and Control, and some years of related experience in these fields. Furthermore, I do have a great deal of the programming skills and computational methods with an extensive computer software knowledge. I am also interested in working on Vehicle Control, Robotics, Tribology (friction and surface sliding) and Vibrations.
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
