IUTAM Congress: 19-24 August 2012, Beijing

Zhigang Suo — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 12:03:00 -0400

I just got an email that said the dates of of the Congress will be 19-24 August 2012. Enter the date into your calendar and start planning.

Good news, I am waiting for

Bin Niu — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:59:59 -0400

Good news, I am waiting for the good result as a member in the fields of mechanics. Thank you.

A good news for all

Kewei Li — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:43:42 -0400

A good news for all researchers and students in Mechanics, BTW, Dr. Suo, please let me know if you have an after-Congress event at Xi'an Jiaotong Univ. I would like to visit my hometown at Qianling Mausoleum.

A history of IUTAM

Zhigang Suo — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:00:00 -0400

I'm back to home now. At the IUTAM many old friends gather from all over the world. A large congress fully devoted to mechanics suddenly has a refreshing appeal in the ocean of multidisciplinary conferences and confusion and unfamiliar faces and unrecognizable subjects. The lectures at IUTAM can go much much deeper into our own discipline. We have the pleasure of talking to people with similar educational background. We can speak the language of mechanics uncluttered.

Before we celebrate this uni-disciplinary novelty, we should read this fascinating history of IUTAM, and learn how our forefathers saw the role of mechanics and an international congress in a uncertain world. What a pleasure to use the wheel even if we have missed the opportunity of inventing it!

More international conferences in China

Luoyu Roy Xu — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:48:12 -0400

Dear Zhigang,

I'm glad to know this good news. Thank you and other Chinese scholars' efforts. I just attended one conference in Italy and paid around $4,000. Last year, I only paid around $2,000 for a conference in Shanghai, China. Hope we can attend more conferences in China, especially in Beijing.

Roy

good

zhan-sheng guo — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:15:21 -0400

my university have 10 persons to attend this conference. support this conference and meet professors in beijing

Good News

Xu Zhang — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:23:06 -0400

It's a good news for all the chinese mechanical reserchers. Just last night, I was browsing the internet for the information of IUTAM2008 hold these days in Adelaide, Australia. As not a register, most of the seminar and lecture information can't acquired. But form the lecture title in the web http://ictam2008.adelaide.edu.au/ We still learn some about the conference. Good topics, attractive lecture speech.

I also have a idea, would our IMECHAICA have a timely report of the IUTAM conference so that all the people can have eyes on the conference.

The link does not work....

Mike Ciavarella — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:30:32 -0400

Can you post again, or else can you attach please the conditions directly on imechanica?

Porto is a nice place .... particularly in July, so if the conference is not unreasonably expensive.... ;)

2) Boshen Fu's presentation.

3) Simulations of Vocal Fold Dynamics using MPMICE by Comer Duncan et al.

4) Simulation and Tomography of Closed-cell Polymer Foam in Compressio n by Hongbing Lu and Nitin P. Daphalapurkar, Oklahoma State University.

5) Solution of a Hertzian Contact Mechanics Problem Using the Material Point Metho d by Jason Sanchez, University of New Mexico.

6) Manufactured Solutions Suitable for Verification of MPM and GIMP Codes by Philip Wallstedt and Jim Guilkey.

7) Numerical Modeling of Wood or Other Anisotropic, Heterogeneous, and Irregular Materials by John Nairn.

Dean my congratulations for the "arms" related business news

Mike Ciavarella — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:56:08 -0400

Dean

I guess I need to congratulate Elsevier on the solution of this problem. Perhaps I will meet you in person one day to solve recent "friction". See:

dear Zhigangvery good news: Reed Elsevier sells defence exhibitions Thursday May 29, 2008 !!

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on Mon, 2008-06-23 12:34.

I am very happy to announce this big news, which changes my previous
attacks to Elseviers considerably, although when I raised the problem,
in A paper rejected by Int. J. Fatigue --- Persistent Nepotism in Peer Reviews thematter was still unsolved: I guess I need to reconsider my My letter of resignation from the board of Int J Solids and Structures / ELSEVIER at least for this part. Congratulation to Elsevier, I hope I have contributed to this progress.

Wish I can learn some experience of research from you!

good

zhan-sheng guo — Mon, 26 May 2008 22:16:20 -0400

i will attend this important conference.

according to co-chair Prof. Fan requirement, i will pick up some people from Pudong airport and then go Huangshan.

i think there are many people will attend this conference.

nice to meet you in Huangshan.
