education

I would like to bring to your attention an intensive three-day course on "Invitation to nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring" that will be given by Dr. Zahra Sharif Khodaei (Imperial College London) from Monday, 22 May, to Wednesday, 24 May 2023, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that from mid-May
Prof. Luca Caracoglia (Northeastern University, Boston MA, USA)
will be UniGe Visiting Professor.

During the visiting period, starting from 17 May, Prof. Caracoglia will hold a PhD course entitled
"Probability-Informed Wind Engineering against Synoptic and Non-Synoptic Wind Hazards".
All information is contained in the attached file.

Those interested in participating are invited to write to me.
Thank you very much for the attention,
kindest regards
Giuseppe Piccardo 

At the University of Parma (Italy) a call for supporting students possessing a Ph.D. degree and wishing

to apply to the prestigious Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship is now open.

In this webinar, we will introduce the latest analysis technologies with specific analysis examples to predict materials behavior using analytical prediction of microstructure combined with virtual material testing.

Webinar Abstract

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to announce the 12th iteration of the Computational Materials Science Summer School at Texas A&M University, CMS3. The school will take place in College Station, TX from July 23 – August 4, 2023 and will also be offered online. Application deadline is April 15, 2023.

3^rd Winter school on

Trends on Additive Manufacturing for Engineering Applications

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Univ. of Belgrade, Serbia  & Online

5^th-9^th February 2023

Participation in the winter school is free!

Structured PhD in Applied Mathematics (4-years full-time)

Project topic: Prediction of the plastic yielding of additively manufactured Steel 316L: Development and validation of a physics-informed mathematical model

Project supervisors: Dr. Doireann O’Kiely, Dr. Kyriakos Kourousis and Professor Michael Vynnycky.

In the works below, an isogeometric analysis combined with adjoint sensitivity analysis is used for the design of mechancial metamaterials. A detailed introduction to isogeometric analysis (IGA), formulation and implementation of adjoint sensitivity analysis in the nonlinear regime for auxetics design is included in the thesis and papers below. The work presents a holistic physics-based approach for structural shape optimization using IGA. Kindly cite the work if you find useful. 

Publications:

Many types of composites are used in Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). Virtual Material Testing can help to find optimal materials properties to match various design requirements resulting in a faster design process and increased product life.
