Finite element implementation of Field Crack Mechanics for brittle and ductile fracture
Sharing a new article "Finite element implementation of Field Crack Mechanics for brittle and ductile fracture" by my Ph.D. student BVSS Bharadwaja at IIT Bombay, which has been accepted for publication in Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics. Also see attached. Thanks to Prof. Amit Acharya for the motivation and discussion.
New article: An Experimentally Informed Continuum Grain Boundary Model
It is my pleasure to share a new article titled "An Experimentally Informed Continuum Grain Boundary Model" by Syed Ansari (my Ph.D. student at IIT Bombay). This work was performed in collaboration with Prof. Amit Acharya.

Special Session on "Manipulation and testing of micro/nanoscale materials" MARSS 2024_July 01-05_Delft, Netherlands
MARSS, the annual International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales, is a non-profit conference run by the microrobotic community and technically supported by IEEE-RAS and IEEE-NTC. MARSS2024 will be held in-person on July 01-05, 2024, in Delft, Netherlands. The conference is the flagship forum to discuss cross-disciplinary activities on 1) manipulation, automation, measurement, and characterization at micro/nano scales, and 2) all kinds of small-scale robots (nm – cm) and their applications.
Ph.D. Position in Mechatronics Engineering at Kent State University, Kent, OH
An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Control, Automation, and Mechatronics (CAM) lab at Kent State University, Kent, OH. The program is housed within the College of Aeronautics and Engineering and focuses on Mechatronics Engineering. Ideal candidates will need to have completed their master’s degree in electrical, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering by the end of 202. They must possess a strong foundation in controls and machine learning, along with proficient programming skills in Python and MATLAB.
University Professorship for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics at TU Darmstadt, Germany
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt seeks candidates at the earliest possible date for a Full University Professorship (W3) for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics. We are looking for a scientist with an international reputation and visibility who will represent the field of numerical methods in fluid mechanics in research and teaching.
Tight bounds correlating peak absorption with Q-factor in composites and metallic clusters of particles.
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to read our article, which informs one about the extent to which resonances can be tuned in metamaterials. More precisely, our work provides tight bounds correlating the Quality-factor with peak absorption in dielectric metamaterials. The article is published in Applied Physics Letters and can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0155092
