A joint Ph.D position between two Labs of the Univ lyon: Laboratoire de Mécanique des Contacts et des Structures (LaMCoS UMR CNRS 5259) and Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes (LTDS UMR CNRS 5513) is available.
The subject is financed by the Laboratory of Excellence, namely Labex CeLyA (Centre Lyonnais d’Acoustique), and its duration will be three years. Please see the attached for more details.

(1) Bonding by elastic adhesive contact: This community here is perhaps more familiar with bonding elastic solids by adhesive contact, such as gecko adhesion, or more generally rough surface adhesion. But what about bonding two pieces of metals?

I'm recruiting Ph.D. students (fully funded) to join my research group at Utah State University and work on data-driven multiscale modeling of functional materials. The positions can be started from Fall 2020 or Spring 2021.

Dear iMechanica,

We are very excited to share the news that our recent work on bioinspired materials with self‐adaptable mechanical properties is published in Advanced Materials.
