Dear all,

I bring your attention to the following workshop that will be held in Rome on November 18-20, 2019.

Attendance of the workshop is free. All the relevant information are available in the attached flyer.

Workshop RAM3, Recent Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics of Materials — 2nd International Meeting of Young Researchers

November 18-20 2019, Facoltà di Ingegneria Civile e Industriale, Sapienza Università di Roma, via Eudossiana 18, Roma 

Description

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original research on geomechanics and multiphase flow for subsurface engineering applications, with a particular emphasis on the poromechanics of geologic faults. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms.

Abstract submission for the Society of Engineering Science annual conference is now open:

https://ses2019.wustl.edu/track-symposia/abstracts/

The deadline to submit is April 30th, 2019. Please consider subitting to our symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Soft Materials. A full description is given below.

Colleagues:

The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at Washington University in St. Louis on October 13-15, 2019. As part of this meeting we are organizing Symposium 7.4 on “Mechanics of Electrochemically Active Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30

Date / Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 / 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Location: Synopsys Denmark, Vester Farimagsgade 3, Copenhagen, Denmark

Fee: Free-to-attend. Pre-registration is required as places are limited

Who Should Attend

Dear colleague,

the abstract submission deadline for

CIVIL-COMP 2019

The Sixteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

16-19 September 2019 Riva Del Garda Congress Centre, Lake Garda, Italy

http://www.civil-compconf.com/

is extended to 6th May 2019.

The day before the SEM Conference this June in Reno, Nevada, USA, we will be teaching a short course entitled Residual Stress 101: https://sem.org/annualprogram. See below for a description of the course. We will cover lots of practical material on residual stresses, much of which is not covered in standard engineering curricula. This is great material for any interested researcher who never got a comprehensive background in residual stress. It will also be great for graduate students or advanced undergrads, and students pay half price.

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.

The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.

The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.

We have one or more postdoc positions available, to be filled immediately, in my research group. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics.  Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on the development and validation of multiscale models for energetic/porous/polycrystalline materials across length scales. More details will be provided to interested candidates. 

A PhD Scholarship available in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Topic

Machine learning based approaches for modelling and numerical simulation of advanced materials

I uploaded a new paper titled "SP Timoshenko and America".

Will be appreciative for readers' comments.

Thanks,

Isaac Elishakoff

Dear colleagues,

Here is our recently published review article about hydrogel adhesion. Hydrogel adhesion has undergone transformative advances in the last few years. This review article describes these advances, and outlooks future opportunities.

Title: Hydrogel Adhesion: A Supramolecular Synergy of Chemistry, Topology, and Mechanics

Authors: Jiawei Yang, Ruobing Bai, Baohong Chen, Zhigang Suo*

Abstract

I would like to share the codes required to perform an end-to-end molecular dynamics simulation, which will be useful to the novice researchers in the filed of atomistic simulations. I focus on simulating uniaxial tensile tests of a graphene sample in the LAMMPS molecular dynamics simulator, and I have attached two MATLAB scripts to create the input files for LAMMPS and to extract data from the LAMMPS output file.

 Dear Colleagues, 

Please consider submitting your abstract to our mini-symposium on "Mechanics of deformable atomically-thin materials (Symposium 8.2)" at the 56th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), Washington University in St. Louis, October 13-15, 2019. 

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada invites outstanding applicants for a full-time tenured or tenure-tracked position at the rank of Assistant/Associate Professor in Sustainable Structural Materials. The successful candidate is expected to have demonstrated a commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, and research excellence or potential in one of the following disciplines:

-Innovative structural products and systems made with sustainable materials

We encourage you to contribute an abstract to the symposium "Multiscale mechanics of granular media" (Symposium 6.2) at the 56th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) to be held on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, October 13-15, 2019.

Join this short webinar to learn about solutions to typical bottlenecks for medical device design, from patient-specific modelling to pre-surgical planning. We will cover the ways in which Simpleware software solves common medical device design challenges, with topics including: 

• Brief overview of the key features of Simpleware software

• Benefits of CE-marking and FDA 510(k) clearance in Simpleware software

Postdoc positions are available in the group of Prof. JG Zhu at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of solid mechanics and material science are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental and computational mechanics, composite materials and structures, structural dynamics, and micro/nano mechanics etc.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coche.2019.02.011 We review the most recent developments in multiscale computational modeling of collagen-based biomaterials to determine their structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties.
