Abstract
Background: Helmet systems most commonly experience oblique blunt impacts which cause simultaneous linear and rotational accelerations. The ability to attenuate both linear and rotational accelerations by absorbing the normal shock while accommodating large shear deformations with energy dissipation is critical to developing superior helmet liners that prevent traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The Willerson Center for Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation jointly with the Zoldan Lab, have an immediate opening for a highly motivated graduate student in the area of cellular mechanics modeling.
We invite applications for post-doctoral and Ph.D. positions in topology optimization, machine learning and data-driven computational design, multi-physics simulation including multi-phase flow, and uncertainty quatification.
The MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (@MITMechE) seeks candidates for faculty positions starting July 1, 2024 or on a mutually agreed date thereafter. More Info + Apply: meche.mit.edu/faculty-positions Questions: mefacultysearch2024 [at] mit.edu
Next USACM Nanotechnology and Lower Scale Phenomena TTA, webinar is on December, 6 at 2pm central.
Our speaker will be Dr. Timofey Frolov from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with Prof. Fadi Abdeljawad, Lehigh University as the discussant.
We are hoping the format will promote a lively interactive discussion and engage both junior and senior members of our community.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Date/Time: December 6; 2-3pm CST
Selected courses delivered in the A.Y. 2023/24 by professors of the Multi-scale Analysis of Materials Research Unit at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca for:
- PhD programme in Systems Science, Track in Computational Mechanics
- PhD programme in Management of Digital Transformation
will be open to incoming visiting students (in person or remote participation is possible), without fees.
On November 2023 the research unit MUSAM -Multi-scale Analysis of Materials- at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca turns 10!
To celebrate the contributions made to computational and experimental mechanics over the past 10 years, and to acknowledge the PhD students, researchers and visiting professors that have animated the research unit, I am pleased to share with you a 10-year impact report.
I hope you might find it interesting and inspiring for future collaborations!
