Wave Mechanics and Metamaterials Laboratory seeks candidates with strong knowledge in magnetoelasticity, wave mechanics, finite element modeling (ideally of magneto-mechanical coupling), or strong experimental background in ultrasonics or magnetism (ideally knowing how to operate an electromagnet). For more details, pls, see attached file.
We have funded Ph.D. positions available in the area of computational mechanics/applied mechanics/soft materials for Fall 2023 at UT Austin.
The students can choose to enroll in Engineering Mechanics (EM) or Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering (CAEE).
For CAEE, the deadline to send an application is December 15: https://www.caee.utexas.edu/graduate/admissions (select MUSE group as your primary choice)
A fully funded PhD position in "Damage Mitigation in Lightweight Marine Composites" is available at the University of Genoa (Italy), within the activities of the newly formed National Center on Sustainable Mobility (Spoke 3: Waterways, Work Package WP1: Energy Efficiency).
The research project will investigate the response of marine sandwich composite structural systems, to design concepts able to mitigate damage and to improve resistance, resilience and energy efficiency of mobility systems in waterways.
1 Ph.D. position (36 months) within the research activity relative to my ERC AdG Grant "Beyond" will be funded by and available at the University of Trento (Italy). The student will be supervised by me and my collaborators Francesco Dal Corso, Diego Misseroni, Andrea Piccolroaz, and Roberta Springhetti. See also the PDF attached.
A fully funded PhD position in computational materials is available at Cranfield University (UK) to study the effects of multiaxial overloads on cracks. The candidate will develop substructure-sensitive crystal plasticity models validated at multiple scales to understand the local response at cracks. The position offers a dynamic research environment and the opportunity to work closely with researchers developing computational models and performing experiments.
Application deadline 25th April 2022.

Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).
The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab: https://acmelab.ua.edu) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Alabama is seeking candidates for a fully-funded PhD position in the area of deformation mechanics to begin August 2022.
Overview
Dr. Jingjie Hu’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at North Carolina State University (NC State) has openings for fully funded Ph.D. positions in the areas of Mechanics and Materials for Fall 2022. Research in the group focuses on the mechanical behaviors of biomedical relevant systems and materials, using combined experimental and theoretical approaches (https://jingjiehu.com).
Qualification
A fully funded Ph.D. position is available in the Computational Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory at Villanova University. The position is available as early as Spring 2022 until filled. The candidate will work on multiscale computational modeling of bone fracture. Candidates with a strong background and interest in biomechanics, solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and computational modeling are encouraged to apply.
Two Ph.D. positions are available for January 2022 at the Multiscale Material Modeling Lab at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The Ph.D. students will develop and use tools such as machine learning, finite elements, and molecular dynamics to study the mechanical properties of materials. If interested please email your CV to atabarra [at] uncc.edu.
