The ICME Conference 2020, a HxGN LIVE event is a 3-days intensive online conference on October 6-8, 2020 for executives, R&D, manufacturing professionals, engineers, and designers to learn, explore and share about Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) to enable companies to blur the boundaries between manufacturing, materials and part performance for the optimal design of innovative quality products.
I have an opening for a new postdoctoral scholar to join my research group, please see attached. The project is on the field-scale calibration of DEM models. Primary responsibilities include developing and executing large-scale experiments, interpretation and synthesis of results, and collaboration with modelers to perform the calibrations.
Journal: International Journal of Fracture
Abstract: A simple nonlocal field theory of peridynamic type is applied to model brittle fracture. The kinetic relation for the crack tip velocity given by Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) is recovered directly from the nonlocal dynamics, this is seen both theoretically and in simulations. An explicit formula for the change of internal energy inside a neighborhood enclosing the crack tip is found for the nonlocal model and applied to LEFM.

Position now closed.
1 Ph.D. position is open for a research project related to bioinspired mechanics of cutting and piercing of soft homogeneous and heterogeneous (composite) materials. The position is under the supervision of Prof. Mattia Bacca in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC, Vancouver – Canada. It is funded by the Human Frontiers in Science Program, in collaboration with the Bioengineering Department at Imperial College London and the Department of Ecology at the University of California.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or WAAM techniques are attracting interest from the manufacturing industry because of their potential to produce large metal components with low cost and short production lead time. This process exists alongside other high deposition rate metal AM technologies such as powder and wire based DED. While these use either laser or an electron beam as energy source to melt a metal powder or wire, WAAM technologies melt metal wire using an electric arc.
The USACM has established a virtual seminar series that will run for six weeks over the course of this summer. Exact dates and times will vary each week, but a full listing of the speakers is available here:
https://www.usacm.org/seminar-series
The series features young computational mechanicians from across the US. The talks are an opportunity for these young scientists to showcase their research activities during a period in which so many conferences and meetings are being cancelled or postponed.
1 postdoctoral position is open for a multidisciplinary project related to the mechanics of the cytoskeleton and the adhesion of cells on collagen substrates. The position is in co-supervision with Prof. Mattia Bacca and Prof. Gwynn Elfring in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC, Vancouver – Canada. It is carried on in collaboration with the BC Cancer Research Center and the Biomedical Research Center at UBC.
