***************Intern Position at Apple*************************************************
Job Summary
Apple display team is looking for an enthusiastic and highly qualified engineer to lead the structural and dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in flat panel display and touch sensor. The successful candidate needs to have strong background in soft material constitutive characterization and modeling, and must be highly self-motivated.
Core Responsibility
I am pleased to suggest a very interesting new book from prof JR Barber of UMich, a leading scientist in the field of contact mechanics.
This study investigates the influence of physical aging on the deformation behaviors of poly(ethylene terephthalate)-glycol. The polymers are subjected to a quenched and an annealed heat treatment, followed by deformation in tension. The digital image correlation (DIC) is used to capture the surface strain. The DIC results show that the deformation localization occurs in the post-yield strain softening region. The quenched and annealed polymers exhibit different localization types, representing as necking for quenched polymers and shear banding for annealed polymers.
The Mechanics & Materials Group within ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering has several openings for PhD students as well as a postdoctoral scholar. All positions are within the area of multiscale mechanics of solids with a primary focus on theory and simulations but also an experimental PhD thesis. Please see the attached description of the positions as well as requirements for potential candidates and contact information. The positions are open immediately and applications are welcome.
ECO lab in Mechanical Engineering Department at the Texas A&M University has an immediate opening for a postdoc in CFD and Compressor Modeling. MATLAB and Fluid mechanics knowledge is Necessary for this project. If you are interested send your CV to shima.hm [at] tamu.edu

Abstract
The MEshfree/MEshless MEthods Group (MEGroup) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interests in research areas of computational mechanics & materials.
We are seeking two full-time Experimental Laboratory Officers in Impact Engineering to join a team of researchers focused on investigation of pressure and strain rate dependent behaviour of engineering for high-performance aerospace applications within the Impact Engineering Team, an integral part of the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group at the Department of Engineering Science (University of Oxford Begbroke Science Park). The posts are funded by Innovate UK for a fixed-term of 1 year in the first instance.
