Dear fellow researcher in finite elements 

We will be hosting a 3 day course on the state-of-the-art open-source finite element library deal.II . The course will be run by Prof Wolfgang Bangerth from Texas A&M. It will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 5-7 August 2013. The course is aimed at postgraduate students and researchers who wish to learn the fundamentals of deal.II for use in their own research.

Dear Colleagues,

NUMISHEET 2014 (http://www.numisheet2014.org) will be held at “Hilton on the Park” in Melbourne,
Australia January 6-10, 2014. On behalf of this conference, we would like to invite you to submit an
abstract to the following mini-symposium:

New and established standard test methods for sheet metals, and their
"off-label use" in research

Soft materials, such as polymers, foams, gels, granular materials, liquids, and colloids, as well as biological tissues, are known for their low stiffness against mechanical or multi-physics loads.  Many of these materials are active: they respond to environmental stimuli in the form of large deformation.  Engineering applications increasingly demand accurate way of characterizing and predicting of the multiphysics behaviors of these materials.  With the focus on computational methodologies, this mini symposium aims at bringing together researchers working on mechanics of soft materials to exchange recent advances and to inspire new ideas.

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform that the abstract submission deadline for the 23rd International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM23) has been extended until May 31, 2013. The conference will be held in Singapore during October 2-5, 2013. 

We encourage you to submit your abstracts via http://itekcms.com/iwcmm23/index.php/iwcmm23/iwcmm23/login.  A poster session will also be organized. A special issue of Computational Materials Science (Elsevier journal), devoted to IWCMM23, is being planned. The worshsop website (wwww.iwcmm23.org) has been updated with the latest information, including a partial list of featured speakers. 

We look forward to welcoming you in Singapore this October. 

Dear Colleagues,

Multiscale modeling and simulations are very important and challenging in studying the structural materials and mechanics at different length scales, and paves the way for the future research in large-scale materials that are of both scientific and industrial importance. We cordially invite you to participate in the Asia Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM) 2013 and give a talk in our minisymposium MS99 entitled “Multiscale Modeling: from quantum to continuum”. The Congress will be held in Singapore, from December 11 to 14, 2013.  The abstract is due on Apr 30th 2013.

Professor Martin Ostoja-Starzewski (University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign) will give a short course on Mechanics of Random and
Fractal Materials and Structures at the EMI 2013 Conference on August 4 at Northwestern
University (http://www.emi2013.northwestern.edu/ ). For details, visit http://www.asce.org/emi/News/Headlines/2013/Short-Course---Mechanics-of-Random-and-Fractal-Materials-and-Structures/ .

Dear Colleagues,
During the last decades material modelling has become a field of central
scientific importance. Although there exist many workshops, meetings,
colloquia, etc. on specific materials, and particular applications, here a
single conference dedicated to material modelling with all its various
facets is intended. To this end, the aim of the ICMM conference is to bring
together researchers from the various fields of material modelling and
materials characterization. The intention here is to cover essentially all
aspects of material modelling. This will provide the opportunity for
interaction among and exchange between scientists working in different
