A postdoc position is available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of Houston. The postdoc will work under my supervision on the asymptotic analysis of compliant thin shells (e.g., homogenization, size effects, stability) and will aim to solve theoretical problems motivated by application areas (e.g., space deployables, architecture)
In differential geometry, rigidity theory investigates whether a surface can deform by pure bending without stretching. The central problem is to find or disprove the existence of isometric deformations.
Classical examples in the "discrete" category include:
In the "smooth" category, we have:

Abstract
Successful applicants will work on the mechanics and thermodynamics of porous solids undergoing reactive flow within the scope of the DOE-funded center on Geo-processes in Mineral Carbon Storage (GMCS, https://gmcs.umn.edu). The mission of GMCS is to develop the fundamental science and engineering capability that will lead to realizing the full potential for large-scale subsurface storage of CO2 via mineralization.

A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting immediately in the area of modeling material behavior with emphasis on constitutive modeling, homogenization, energetic materials. Candidates with expertise in multiscale techniques are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire will interact closely with a group of investigators from multiple universities. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science. The duration of the appointment is 12 - 14 months.
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to read our recent article, which proposes a multiband homogenization scheme and has been accepted to appear in JMPS (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002250962200182X)
Multiband homogenization of metamaterials in real-space: Higher-order nonlocal models and scattering at external surfaces
Our new book in structural engineering and mechanics is released!

I have a few positions (funded by AFRL, ARO, etc) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK). The positions should start in January 2022 or at the latest Fall 2022. One of the positions requires US citizenship. The projects are in the following general areas:
I would like to share another article from my group just published in CMAME. I think this is an interesting approach towards the automatic generation of constitutive laws for arbitrary microstructures:
https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1bxlSAQEIt1ls
The article focuses on how to systematically create constitutive laws using only:
1) Available microstructural models
2) Machine learning techniques
