Computational Solid Mechanics

The Computational Mechanics and Methods Group (CM3) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interest in the broad research area of computational solid mechanics and methods. Ideal applicants should have strong background in solid mechanics and great interest in computational modeling & simulation. Related research experience in material failure modeling and simulation is a plus.

We are delighted to announce the 11^th European Solid Mechanics Conference that will be held at the National University of Ireland Galway, in the city of Galway, Ireland, 4 – 8 July, 2022. The conference website is: www.esmc2022.org. The conference is being held under the auspices of the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH www.euromech.org).

Assistant Professor position in Structural Mechanics at DICCA - University of Genoa (Italy)

The DICCA - Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genova, Italy is launching new research lines in the field of Solid and Structural Mechanics (ICAR08 – Scienza delle Costruzioni). In view of the forthcoming opening of a fixed-term position (3-years extendable to 5) of Assistant Professor (RTDA – Ricercatore a Tempo determinato (A)), the Department invites expressions of interest from qualified scholars.

A PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The research project is in the multiscale modeling of damage and fracture. Candidates should have a strong background and interests in continuum mechanics and finite elements modeling. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is a big plus. The starting date for this position is August 2018.

Two PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
The research project is in the multiscale modeling of the stress corrosion cracking. Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, finite elements modeling and/or molecular dynamics simulations. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is a big plus. The starting date for this position is January 2018 or August 2018. Interested candidates please send a detailed CV along with the name and contact info of three references to atabarra [at] uncc.edu.

Dear Colleagues

I would like to make you aware of a computational solid mechanics minisymposium being organized for the 2016 EMI-PMC conference at Vanderbilt University, May 22-25, 2016: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/emipmc2016/EMI.mini-symposia.php.

MS 15: Computational Methods and Applications for Solid and Structural Mechanics 

Development of Advanced Numerical Methods for the Virtual Testing of Composite Structures

I am seeking Ph.D. students to work on developing and using multiscale methods for modeling nanocomposites and nanomaterials. Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering, material science, civil engineering or other related areas. Candidates with computational solid mechanics experience at the continuum or molecular level are highly preferred.
