Please see the attached job description. The position will be for 1 year initially and can be extended based on the performance and funding availability.

Good afternoon,

We recently published a paper using VR that might be of interest:

More often than not I find in the books I read the information about the von Mises yield cirterion without mentioning any contribution of Maksymilian Tytus Huber in this field. E. g. I'm reading now "Materials for Nuclear Plants" by Wolfgang Hoffelner. When discussing the yielding conditions of the material he refers to von Mises, Hencky and even to Maxwell, but does not mention Huber. M. T. Huber anticipated to some extent the criterion of Mises already in 1904 (von Mises published his paper in 1913), but is not recognized by most of mechanicians.

Some metals, particularly annealed low-carbon steel, or mild steel, show a discontinuity when transitioning from elastic to plastic deformation that produces the yield point phenomenon in the stress strain curve.

Conclusions

We are glad to announce the International Symposium Recent Advances in Mechanics of Solids and Structures in honour of Prof. Davide Bigoni's 60th birthday.
The event will be held in Trento on June 6-7, 2019.
