Elastomers and gels can often deform multiple times their original length. The stretchability is insensitive to small cuts in the samples, but reduces markedly when the cuts are large. This work shows that this transition occurs when the depth of cut exceeds a material-specific length, defined by the ratio of the fracture energy measured in the large-cut limit and the work to rupture measured in the small-cut limit. This conclusion generalizes a result in the fracture mechanics of hard materials.
A PhD position is available in the area of mechanics of materials. Applicants with a strong background in finite element modelling, crystal plasticity finite element, and materials characterization are recommended to apply.
The Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Group at Drexel http://tamg.mem.drexel.edu/ is looking for exceptional candidates to fill two positions.
The first position requires expertise in combined computational and experimental mechanics to work on externally funded project with ITAR restrictions that target multiscale and multiphysics aspects of damage in advanced materials. Experience in integrating high resolution experiemental data with modeling, as well as good knowledge of digital signal processing will be highly considered.
The MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 2017 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. We will consider exceptional candidates in all areas relevant to the mission and vision of the department, but the department is especially looking for candidates to expand or strengthen its current areas of:
Purdue will host the 32nd American Society for Composites (ASC) Annual Technical Conference. This conference convene composites researchers from around the world to interact with industry, government and academia, fostering collaborations among all stake holders in the composites community.
