solid mechanics

Up to 10 New Frontiers Fellowships, which provide structured post-doctoral career development pathways to permanent academic positions, are to be appointed in the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton. Applications are invited from individuals who would strengthen any of our research themes, including Structures and Solid Mechanics, Computational Engineering, Materials and Surface Engineering, Acoustics, Geomechanics and Bioengineering.

We are proud to announce International Conference on Advances in Applied and Computational Mechanics, which is organized in the honor of  70th birthday of Prof.J.N.Reddy. This is a tribute for his many and lasting contribution to education and research in applied mechanics.

Conference will be held at  WYNDHAM GRAND Hotel, Inciralti Izmir/Turkey during August 5-7, 2015.

Thermo-Fluid Mechanics at the Professor / Associate professor level: 

Please, give a look to my research activity at http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni and to my group at http://ssmg.unitn.it



If you are strongly motivated to work with a very active group in Solid Mechanics, we have a PhD position (3 years) available from November 2014, but the deadline for application is June 30, 2014!



The position is on a EU grant and is addressed to numerical/theoretical modelling of ceramics.

One PhD position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University, NY, US.  The research program focuses on the mechanics and multifunctional applications of 3D periodic composite materials including shape memory, acoustic/elastic wave propagation, and energy harvesting. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply. 

Position is available for a postdoctoral fellow to carry out an industry sponsored project on carbon fiber composite modeling. The contract is initiated for one year, with possible extension if work progresses satisfactorily. The research will focus on



 (1)  micromechanics modeling of elastic and viscoplastic behavior of injection molded carbon fiber composites;

 (2)  homogenization techniques and constitutive model development for vibration, strength and impact simulations of carbon fiber composites.
