Composites

Applications are invited for 2 PhD position at the University of Limerick, Ireland.

Both are funded through the EU Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher Programme.

SALARY: €37,903 p.a. (plus family allowance of €4,589 p.a. where appropriate in accordance with Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme rules).

Topic: Improving the crashworthiness of composite transportation structures

To apply: Apply online at http://www.ul.ie/hrvacancies/

Closing Date: Friday, 11th November 2016, 12 noon, Irish Standard Time.

Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook University, New York, US.

The research program is about mechanics and multifunctional applications of new advanced materials (such as polymer cellular solids, polymer composites, and metamaterials) focusing on mechanical performance, 3D printing, acoustic/elastic wave propagation, energy absorption, and impact resistance. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply. 

Two PhD positions are currently available in the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). Research topics are in the following areas:

1. Modeling of titanium alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity finite element method.

2. Thermo-mechanical modeling of damage in fiber-reinforced composite materials using mixture theory.

Recently, we have published a series of nine papers about modelling fatigue and damage in short fiber composites.  Together, they provide a complete description of modelling of such materials including wavy fiber composites; starting from appropriate homogenization method to component level fatigue simulation. Discussion and feedback on the papers is welcome.
