Open-Rank Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Position(s) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Rowan University
The Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering at Rowan University invites outstanding applicants for tenure-track or tenured positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor levels. Successful candidates must have a demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence at undergraduate and graduate levels; seek to develop a nationally-recognized, externally funded research program at Rowan University; and contribute to the institution and profession through service.
apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not?
dear Imechanica friends
here is an apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not? Certainly there seems to be viscoelastic dissipation, but the pressure is also normal to dispacements, so am I missing something obvious here? Any help is welcome!
Thanks

Faculty Position in the engineering of habitats in extreme environments (UT Austin)
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention a faculty opening at the University of Texas at Austin, Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, which might be of interest to recent PhD graduates, or graduating PhDs of your program. Specifically, we are looking to add to our faculty a colleague with expertise in the engineering of habitats in extreme environments: of particular interest, and strongly advised to apply, are candidates with expertise in the engineering of extraterrestrial habitats.
Two PhD openings in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials Design at Baylor University
Two fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Spring, 2024 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the Baylor University. The research work will focus on the mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.
The research topics include:
(1) Polymer composites;
(2) Medium/High entropy alloys;
(3) High entropy ceramics;
(4) Biomaterials;
(5) Machine learning.
RA in Experimental Mechanics - Cambridge
The Cambridge Solid Mechanics Group are starting a new project with the aim to transform the design of engineering components from one based on selecting a best single material to one in which material properties and compositions are treated as continuous, spatially varying quantities.
