multiscale modeling
A Ph.D. student position in the research area of atomistic and multiscale simulation modeling at the Louisiana Tech University
The College of Engineering and Science at Louisiana Tech University is seeking self-motivated candidates for a Graduate Research Assistant (Ph.D. student) position, with the earliest starting date in Winter 2018.
Successful candidates will join the research group of Dr. Xiang (Shawn) Chen, who is in the research area of atomistic and multiscale simulation/modeling. A list of related publications can be found below: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=qdz0cy4AAAAJ&hl=en
Mechanical behavior of mycelium-based particulate composites
We study the mechanical behavior of mycelium composites reinforced with biodegradable agro-waste particles. In the composite, the mycelium acts as a supportive matrix which binds reinforcing particles within its filamentous network structure. The compressive behavior of mycelium composites is investigated using an integrated experimental and computational approach. The experimental results indicate that the composite mimics the soft elastic response of pure mycelium at small strains and demonstrates marked stiffening at larger strains due to the densification of stiff particles.
