Dear iMechanicians, I hope that you find the paper below of interest. Glaciology is a challenging and exciting area and I think there is a need to bring more mechanics and physics into it

A stress-based poro-damage phase field model for hydrofracturing of creeping glaciers and ice shelves

he NVH and Experimental Mechanics Laboratory (NVHEM) at Kettering University invites applications for a visiting research scientist position to help in projects related to NVH, structural health monitoring, material modeling, and finite element analysis. Some of these projects are sponsored by major automakers in Michigan

A postdoctoral position will be available at University of Pavia in Italy starting January 2023. The position will be part of an ERC Starting project. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet [at] unipv.it).

May a double restabilization of the trivial path occurr at monotonically increasing compression force?

May movable constraints be exploited to attain target force–displacement curves?

We provide a positive answer to both of these questions in our paper: Koutsogiannakis, Bigoni, Dal Corso. Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints, European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids (2022)

Dear colleagues, 

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers.

Dear Colleague, 

I'm pleased to announce our latest paper on configurational mechanics has just appeared in Acta Mechanica:

Nathaniel N. Goldberg and Oliver M. O’Reilly. A Material Momentum Balance Law for Shells and Plates with Application to Phase Transformations and Adhesion. Acta Mechanica, 2022.
