Hi everybody

My new paper on the buckling behavior of cracked FGM shells has been published in the Composite Structures.

I would be very happy to answer any further question.

I attached the pdf file of the paper to this blog.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (www.me.udel.edu) at the University of Delaware (UD) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the area of thermal fluids with applications in energy, environment or manufacturing.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions beginning fall 2017. We are particularly interested in candidates with core mechanical engineering disciplinary expertise and demonstrated strong research experience.

The advent of internet era has been driving some significant changes in scientific publication process. The needs for optimizing publication process, from manuscript preparation and submission, to review process and to post-publication dissemination, are ubiquitous for many disciplines. There is no exception for the mechanics field.  

To this end, we are glad to announce that SES2016 will host an open forum of “Meet the Editors-in-Chief of Mechanics Journals”, which features the following panelists:

<p>The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for multiple faculty positions in all ranks. Emphasis is on the areas of (i) manufacturing and (ii) energy and sustainability; however, excellent candidates will be considered in all areas related to mechanical engineering and theoretical and applied mechanics. A doctoral degree is required, and salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applications received by December 4, 2016, will receive full consideration.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (UD-CCM) focused on molecular modeling of polymer materials – PE and Epoxy. The successful applicant will closely work with Dr. Sanjib C Chowdhury and Professor John W Gillespie Jr to predict thermo-mechanical properties of the model materials through molecular dynamics simulations.

Dear all,

We have recently published a paper related to modelling of the influence of addition of phase change materials (PCMs) on early age cracking in concrete. Registered subscribers can view it at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950061816314878

Here is the abstract:

Dear colleages,

We are pleased to announce that the SES2016 mobile app is launched, for the first time in the SES conference series. It's free to download and use, available for your iOS or Android smartphones or tablets, as well as on your laptop, Windows phone, or Blackberry.
