Postdoc Position in “Graphene-Based Composites: Experimental”
The Laboratory for Soft Machines & Electronics (www.caogroup.org) at the MSU has one postdoc associate opening in the areas of soft materials and machines. The research work is expected to be highly multi-disciplinary, and the specific topics includes: Smart materials and structures, Soft robotics, Artificial skins; Energy harvesters, Wearable Electronics, Machine Learning, etc. This position is available immediately.
In this paper, we formulate a theory for the coupling of accretion mechanics and thermoelasticity. We present an analytical formulation of the thermoelastic accretion of an infinite cylinder and of a two-dimensional block.
Eight fully funded positions open for the "Digital Materials and Advanced Processes Modelling (MAPMOD)" Master.
MAPMOD is a one-year full-time postgraduated programme in line with industrial needs for high level competences in high added value components or equipment manufacturing in fields such as aeronautics, energy, automotive.
The funding covers tuition fees and partial support of living expenses.
Dear Colleagues,
As part of the IMECE 2020 (November 13-19, 2020, Portland, Oregon), we are organizing a topic on “Data-Enabled Predictive Modeling, Machine Learning, and Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Mechanics.” It is listed in Track 12: Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids: https://event.asme.org/IMECE/Program/Tracks-Topics.
Fracture mechanics is one of the key research topics in our field (of mechanics) and has a rather rich history of innovation and applications. From earth-quakes to air-planes---the mechanics underpinning the phenomenon of materials falling apart has been essential in the development of technology. Griffith’s work on fracture was published about a 100 years ago and is often widely regarded as the start of modern fracture mechanics. The Century Fracture Mechanics Summit (CFMS), was held in Singapore on Apr.
Dear colleagues,
The Society of Engineering Science (SES) 57th Annual Technical Meeting will be held at Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, September 28-30, 2020 (https://ccaps.umn.edu/SES).
As part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium addressing the advances in polymer modeling and simulations under Track 7 - Soft, Active Materials and Applications in Soft Robotics.
Engineering ceramic/nanocomposite interfaces may lead to the development of ultra-tough ceramic nanocomposites. The novel processing method, as well as micromechanical interpretation of the above result, can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2020.02.075
