John J. Montgomery Award for Distinguished Innovation in Aerospace - ASME.
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with background in continuum/experimental mechanics eager to be part of an exciting new research project: High strain rate behavior of thermoplastic composite materials for cryogenic hydrogen storage (H-FROST).
Summary:
Our new paper is online in Journal of Applied Mechanics. We exolore the thermomechancial coupling in polydomain liquid crystal elastomers. https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/appliedmechanics/article/doi/10….
A complimentary PDF is available: https://www.novatechsetproofs.com/authors/ASME/JAM-23-1288.pdf .
During next week, on September 14-15, we hold a pyLife workshop at the FME Czech Technical University in Prague, Czechia. pyLife is a Python-based open-source library built previously mostly by colleagues from Bosch to deal with the fatigue life estimation (see https://github.com/boschresearch/pylife).
EML will re-launch the EML Webinar Series (Young Researchers Forum) on 12 September 2023. The webinars are planned to be held once a month for a total of 10 to 12 webinars per year.
EML Webinar (Young Researchers Forum) on 12 September 2023 will be given by Ruobing Bai at Northeastern University via Zoom meeting
Woven composites exhibit a complex hierarchical structure with multiple heterogeneous sub-scales, stemming from microscale fiber arrangements and mesoscale interlacing patterns, necessitating sophisticated modeling approaches to accurately capture their intricate multiscale nature.

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2023, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time
In the past 3 years, Brown Engineering faculty led by Professor Yuri Bazilevs with co-directors Professors Kenny Breuer and Pradeep Guduru have won more than $15 million in awards for research in Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE). This was made possible by partnering with Naval researchers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I.
This center may bring great opportunities for doing doctoral and postdoctoral research at Brown. I look forward to interacting with new colleagues and following the progress of MUSE.
