  • Postdoctoral position in Nano-Micro-Mechanics Group, MPI Düsseldorf

    Written by GDRi Mecano in Jobs on 8 November 2016 à 09:18

     

    A Postdoctoral researcher (m/f)  position is available for “Building a electro‐magneto‐mechanical Finite Element Model (FEM) of composites“ starting Nov. 1st 2016. Position available at Max‐Planck‐Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in the department “Structure and Nano‐ /Micromechanics of materials” that is focusing on fundamental mechanisms governing plasticity, fracture and fatigue at the micron scale. 

    The work will focuses on modelling of a composite material which can switch its strength by an external stimulus. The successful candidate will join an internationally recognized team of young scientists involved in the field of micromechanics of materials.

    Highly motivated candidates holding a PhD in materials science, mechanics or physics and experience in FEM modelling are encouraged to apply. Excellent command of written and spoken English is mandatory. We emphasize team‐work, promote and demand international projects and conferences.

  • Scientific Committee Meeting, Paris Dec 14th, 2016

    Written by GDRi Mecano in Events on 8 November 2016 à 09:06

    The first scientific meeting of the Mecano network will take place at Mines Paris Tech, on December 14th, 2016.

    Agenda:

    • Report on 2016 Activities:

    -Signature of GDRi consortium agreement

    -EDS 2016 conference (passed), other related conferences (GRC Thin Films, Dislocations,...)

    -Website 

     

    • Planning for 2017:

    -MRS Fall 2017 Symposium on small-scale mechanical behavior (Greer, Schwaiger, Mordehai, Legros- approved) - invited speakers suggestion, financial help for students

    -MicroLaue workshop (Grenoble, Jean-Sebastien Micha)

    -Potential common meeting/workshop  with GDR Rex  (Recrystallization Group -Maurine Montagnat) and i-stress network  (Marco

    Sebastiani) 

    -Mecano general meetings dates (May -June 2017, Toulouse)

     

    • Publishing of a special issue of “Comptes-Rendus de Physique” (Elsevier) about the

    mechanics of nano-objects - offer by Denis Gratias (after the 2018 school ?)

    We should take care of not letting aside important research

    • Potential new members 

    • Other topics (to be implemented)
