I happened to be one of ~100 PhD students he graduated over the course of his career.</p>
<p>Andre Pineau was (and will remain) a central figure in France's materials science. His emphasis was in physical metallurgy and mechanics of materials. Nearly every single PhD thesis he advised was funded by industry, which even in France was unique. His motto was good science for the benefit of industry, here and now. For decades, he sat on several advisory boards of major companies in France (Snecma then Safran; EDF, GDF now GRTgas; Renault, PSA, etc.) and national labs such as ONERA and CEA. His former students set the agenda in many R&D divisions, most notable of which was Francois Mudry who was the scientific director of IRSID (then R&D center of Arcelor before it got taken up by Mittal). Sometime during the mid-2000s, he co-authored with Yves Brechet a document on the status of physical metallurgy in France directed at the French Academy of Sciences, in an attempt to revive a field that he has always seen as strategically important.</p>
<p>Andre Pineau was highly respected and admired in many circles, and I would say even feared. He had the presence of a Junkins with the vigor of a Lagoudas. He had strong opinions about many things scientific but would rarely speak of something he did not have (sufficient) knowledge about. He would rarely talk politics, whilst we (the students, technicians) would gather in the "bocal" for a coffee break twice a day and talk about everything in the world. Andre Pineau was a pragmatist, which in France is a "denree rare". At the same time, he was outspoken even in the presence of a top administrator (Jacques Levy at the time) he would speak out with vehemence and be heard! Nobody questioned his intentions ever! Every other professor in the center of materials was referred to by his first name, but he was always "Monsieur Pineau" for all. He maintained that distance by using the "vous" instead of the "tu" with nearly everyone. I only heard him use the "tu" with three people, one of whom being his wife!</p>
<p>Andre Pineau was so French and so American at the same time. So French as not to miss a chance to dig at the US in his own way. "I hope it is not American steel!" would he ask after a railway steel problem is reported to him. Or "This must be an American steel" if he did not understand what a fractograph shown by a student conveyed. But he was so American at the same time, especially in his work ethic. Only on Sunday afternoons was he off. Every Saturday and every Sunday morning he would be in the lab in Evry (the center of materials has been there for over 50 years, inside a site owned by SNECMA, now SAFRAN). I was there very rarely on weekends, but with enough students sampling his routine over the years, we pretty much knew the schedule of Monsieur Pineau. He would never meet with a student on a weekend, but if you were to show up on a Saturday, he would be happy like a child. I saw it in his eyes!</p>
<p>For the same reasons, he would not come to the US as often as one would expect of one of the most research active people in the field in France. I believe the last time he attended and gave a talk at a conference in the US was in Orlando in 1997 (save for the 2013 event in Boston; see below) for a symposium in honor of Franck McClintock of MIT. This is probably why the younger generation (in the US) does not know him well. But people from the US and elsewhere came to see him. For example, Subra Suresh was a good friend of his and spent at least one sabbatical in Paris. Another frequent visitor (during my tenure there) was Dany Rittel from the Technion.</p>
<p>Being associated with Andre Pineau came with its own "perks". A sabbatical with him also meant sharing (a few days in the week) his 2nd, most appealing, office in the "real" Ecole des Mines (not the center of materials in Evry) where he taught undergraduates (and where thesis defenses where held!) The building is the old hotel de Vendome (which I believe is partially classified by UNESCO as world heritage). Pineau's office was not far from the salle Vendome, overlooking the Luxembourg Gardens and the French Senate) where Subra Suresh has reported that he had met (serendipitously) a lady researcher from l'Institut Pasteur and that got Subra into the field of biomechanics at the turn of the century.</p>
<p>Andre Pineau despised "fashionable research". For him, industry defines what is "en vogue", and not academics who, by a phenomenon that seems inevitable in the US system, would "cluster" research agendas. Of course, Pineau's belief that industry drives the agenda was predicated on the premise that "industry" is that which he and his peers have shaped over the years! He was also very concerned about how to spend taxpayer money in research and would always work on getting the most output out of minimal expenditures.</p>
<p>Andre Pineau is one of only three Frenchmen (if I am not mistaken) who won the Acta Materialia Gold medal over the past 50 years. On that occasion, I co-organized a special MRS symposium in 2013 together with Dave McDowell, Esteban Busso and Thomas Pardoen. That was a memorable event and I was very happy to make him happy! The tradition is that the medalist writes a "Gold Medal" paper, but Andre Pineau invited us (the organizers) to join a bigger effort of writing a mega review on failure of metals and he charged me to spearhead the effort. Our submitted project was well received by the editors of Acta, but they thought that would be too broad. They welcomed us, however, to submit FOUR different overviews! And so, the nightmare became four nightmares; well, until we gave up on the fourth. Pineau put me in charge of Part I. I know I drove him crazy, because it took me nearly two years to finish my part! To my consolation and his, it was a major success and that overview may go down as his best cited paper ever, which is sufficient honor for me.</p>
<p>I differed with Monsieur Pineau on several occasions and do not share all of his views on science, research, etc. even if I find merits in his thoughts and views. I became his PhD student by accident, a story for another time. Of the 100+ students he advised, it would be safe to say that, when I joined his group, I was the most ignorant about all the things he cared about and wanted to see in a student! I knew next to nothing about either the mechanics or physics of plasticity, even less about phase diagrams or dislocations. I hated the materials science course I had in Toulouse and so, after two classes, I skipped the rest of the classes until the end of the semester (I managed to pass! It's never too late to make a confession!) What I enjoyed from my undergraduate years was mostly aerodynamics, control theory, a little bit of structures and a lot of math, physics and chemistry. In spite of the clashes we had during my thesis, not only was he supportive to the end but also helped me in whatever capacity made sense at the time to come to the US and embark on a new career (it would have been much easier for me to surf the wave of his fame in France and stay in my beloved city of Paris!)</p>
<p>At the end, I only remember Andre Pineau as a great mentor, a moving encyclopedia, and a true engineer in the heart! I am forever indebted to him for setting me on a career path. He introduced me, in person or through papers, to Mike Ashby (his hero), Jim Rice (my hero), Alan Needleman, John Hutchinson and Jean-Baptiste Leblond (to whom I feel much closer research wise) among others. He is now gone but his memory will live on.</p>

<p>A linear composite medium consisting of a homogeneous matrix containing either the periodic or random set of heterogeneities is considered. Both the original and generalized Maxwell schemes are analyzed by reducing the problem to calculation of elastic fields in a finite volume of the composite embedded in the infinite homogeneous matrix medium and subjected to a constant external stress or strain field at infinity. We investigate (qualitatively and quantitatively) a correspondence between the Maxwell schemes (the original and generalized versions) and other different basic assumptions, conceptions, and methods of analytical micromechanics such as effective field method (EFM) and Mori-Tanaka method (MTM). Some deficiencies and inconsistencies of generalized Maxwell schemes in particular examples are detected and explained how the mentioned difficulties can be easily overcome by the classical micromechanical methods EFM and MTM. For the modeling of both periodic and random structure composites, the generalized Maxwell schemes taking into account the inclusion interactions inside the cluster are analyzed. The incorrectness of using of some generalized Maxwell schemes for the modeling of random structure composite materials (CMs) is shown and the directions for its improvements in the framework of the new (second) background of analytical micromechanics are proposed</p>

<p><span>Talk at IDMEC, Department of Mechanical Engineering, <strong>Instituto Superior Técnico</strong>, Lisbon</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this presentation, I will introduce a new approach based on distance fields to exactly impose boundary conditions in physics-informed deep neural networks. The challenges in satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions in meshfree and particle methods are well-known. This issue is also pertinent in the development of physics informed neural networks (PINN) for the meshfree solution of partial differential equations. We introduce geometry-aware trial functions in artifical neural networks to improve the training in deep learning to solve partial differential equations. To this end, we use concepts from constructive solid geometry (R-functions) and generalized barycentric coordinates (mean value potential fields) to construct an approximate distance function to the boundary of a domain. To exactly impose homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the trial function is taken as the approximate distance function multiplied by the PINN approximation, and its generalization via transfinite interpolation is used to a priori satisfy inhomogeneous Dirichlet (essential), Neumann (natural), and Robin boundary conditions on complex geometries. In doing so, we eliminate modeling error associated with the satisfaction of boundary conditions in a deep collocation method and ensure that kinematic admissibility is met pointwise in a deep Ritz method. I will present numerical solutions to boundary-value problems in 1D and in 2D over curved geometries, and also demonstrate that the approach extends to higher dimensions by solving a Poisson problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions over the 4D hypercube. This approach provides a pathway for meshfree analysis to be conducted on the exact geometry without domain discretization. This is joint-work (<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08426">http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08426</a>) with Ankit Srivastava at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

<p>In the last couple of days, I learnt that Jaswon also worked with Cottrell on solute drag and is one of the pioneers of boundary element method. The following paper by Martin gives a nice introduction to Jaswon and his work -- along with a complete listing of Jaswon's papers. There is also a lovely photograph of Jaswon with R D Bhargava in the paper and the first few references are also a good place for those who want to understand the history of boundary element method.</p>

<p>We are excited to have Jie to be the newest addition to a succession of excellent Editors. His research focuses on both fundamental mechanics and functionality of novel materials and structures at all scales (<a href="https://jieyin.wordpress.ncsu.edu/">https://jieyin.wordpress.ncsu.edu/</a>). His most recent recognition is the US NSF CAREER Award in 2018 and the Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award in 2017. We look forward to his leadership, as well as another great year of iMechanica Journal Club.</p>

<p>In case you are getting tired of the holiday fare, you might enjoy a recent paper, coauthored with Nate Goldberg, on modeling the mechanics of spaghetti cooking that has just been published in Physical Review E:</p>
<p><a href="https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.101.013001">https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.101.013001</a></p>
<p>In the paper, we propose a minimal model for the cooking-induced deformation of spaghetti and related food products. Our approach has parallels to the use of rod theories for the mechanics of slender bodies undergoing growth (particularily the works by Goriely and Goldstein [1] and O'Reilly and Tresierras [2].</p>
<p><img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xayx8jqm69ls2cv/Figure1.png?dl=0" alt="Figure 1." /></p>
<p>As the strand cooks it swells in diameter and length, has an evolving mass density and flexural rigidity, and develops an intrinsic curvature. The latter is similar to the evolution of curvature in plant stem growth. </p>
<p><img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/lebcbagrr7kx9gx/Figure3.png?dl=0" alt="Figure 3" /></p>
<p><span>Fortunately, we were able to take advantage of a wealth of experimental data collected by </span><a href="https://www.unifg.it/ugov/person/935">Del Nobile</a><span> and colleagues in Italy. We used our model to investigate the cooking of a single strand of spaghetti confined to a pot and were able to reproduce a curious three-stage deformation sequence that arises in the cooking process. A video comparing experimental work to the model accompanies the published paper and can also be seen here:</span></p>

<p>Given that a search on google scholar for "the mechanics of spaghetti" will turn up over 13,000 results, it's suprising that no one has previously developed a mechanics-based model for the cooking of a strand. In this respect, we note that similar models can be used to model the cooking of noodles, lasagne and other types of pasta. We were fortunate to be able to use a relatively simple rod model. For many types of pasta, shell models will be needed. </p>

This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research. Previous year recipients include: Vicky Nguyen and Kaushik Dayal (2012), Liping Liu (2013), Ken Kamrin (2014), Samantha Daly (2015), Yong Zhu (2016), Celia Reina, Yihui Zhang (2017) and Xiaoyan Li (2018). More information on the award may be obtained from this following <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eshelby_Mechanics_Award_for_Young_Faculty">Wikipedia link</a>.</span></p>
<p><span>The award will consist of $ 1500 cash and a commemorative plaque. The awardees are formally recognized at the annual Applied Mechanics Division Banquet at the ASME-IMECE meeting.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Eligibility:</strong> The nominee must be below the age of forty and in a tenured or tenure-track faculty position or an independent researcher in a national laboratory. More precisely, the age eligibility is "The candidate must not have reached her/his 41st birthday by December 31st of the year subsequent to the nomination year."</span></p>
<p><span> <strong>Nomination and Selection:</strong> The nominator should fill the attached form and in addition to his/her own letter, attach recommendation letters from two other researchers. The remainder of the nomination package will simply consist of the nominee's detailed curriculum vitae. The entire package should be emailed as a single pdf to <a href="mailto:psharma@uh.edu">psharma@uh.edu</a> by November 30, 2019. Nominations and recommendations letters from PhD and Post-Doctoral advisors are discouraged. The selection committee has remained largely unchanged and will consist this year of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G. Ravichandran (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University). </span></p>
