Highlights

3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies carry the promise of revolutionizing the quality and efficiency of healthcare. However, the required technologies, even when available, are currently too fragmented to be integrated into routine, affordable and streamlined solutions that can benefit a large number of patients. The challenge thereby is to deliver 3D printing technologies that enable:

Metallic 3/4 D Printing Current Chalenges and Next Generation Paradigms

The Department of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics of the College of Engineering at Drexel University is hosting an international symposium on Additive Manufacturing on Friday April 12, 2019. The objective of the symposium is to bring together Drexel, local, and International leading experts in the field of metallic 3/4-D printing to identify current critical issues and future paradigms within the realm of this promising technology.

The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),..

A postdoc or a PhD position are available immediately at the Laboratoire de Mecanique des Solides (Solid Mechanics) at https://www.polytechnique.edu/. The project is focused on understanding the impact of UV polymerization on the constitutive behaviour of printed polymer composites. The position is part of an ongoing collaboration with a german academic partner. The offers are detailed both in english and french on the job site of the CNRS (www.cnrs.fr): 

Graduate researchers are being sought to join the Penn State Ultrasonics Laboratory, which is part of the department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State. Research topics include, but are not limited to ultrasonics for nondestructive evaluation/testing, stress waves in solids, influence of microstructure on wave propagation and scattering, diffuse field methods, acoustics applied to qualification of additively manufactured parts, acoustic microscopy, nonlinear elasticity, mechanics of soft materials, and acoustic metamaterials.

Two PhD positions are available at the University of Southampton in the areas of:

(1) Computational modelling of complex structures and structured materials - especially those fabricated using additive manufacturing,

The National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University is announcing for two fully-funded PhD positions in the area of structural integrity of additive manufactured (AM) materials/parts. These students will work under direction of Dr. Shamsaei from Mechanical Engineering Department. These opportunities include;
1- One PhD student is expected to work on experimental and analytical mechanics, additive manufacturing, fatigue testing and modeling, failure analysis, microstructural characterization, and fracture mechanics.
2- The second PhD student will implement computational mechanics to investigate structural integrity of AM parts. The candidate for this position should have background on crystal plasticity and finite element analysis. This candidate is also expected to be familiar with a finite element software including writing subroutines.
For international applicants, you need to have your TOEFL and GRE scores ready to report by Oct. 15th. If interested, please send your resume and a cover letter, briefly explaining your relevant experience and publications to Dr Vaziri (mzv0045 [at] auburn.edu).
