Dear Colleagues,
The 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM 10) will be held during 2-7 October 2022 at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
We are organizing a symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Material Failure (Symposium #13).
The Shankar Research Group (www.shankarlab.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2022. The position’s primary area of research will focus on 3D printing with liquid crystal elastomers and cholesteric liquid crystal polymers. A background in synthesis of liquid crystalline polymers, photoalignment techniques and polymer characterization is required.

Dear Colleagues: The Gordon Research Conference on Tribology will happen this summer, from June 26 - July 1, 2022 at Bates College, Lewiston ME. This is the premier meeting in tribology, and an exciting, interdisciplinary program has been formulated. A pre-conference Gordon Research Seminar for young researchers will be held on June 25-26 at the same site.

Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the Symposium 15 "Modeling and Design of Architected Materials" at the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling that will take place in Baltimore in October 2-7, 2022.
The deadline for abstract submission is April 30.
This symposium will discuss the latest advances in computational design and modeling of architected materials.
dear Colleagues
In writing a review of models on fretting fatigue, I am looking at the effect of friction coefficient. Obviously, if friction is zero there is no fretting fatigue! This goes without saying.
cdmHUB invites you to attend the Global Composites Experts Webinar Series.
Title: The Story of Permeability in “Liquid Composite Molding (LCM): How to Devise and Validate Process Simulation Software?
Speaker: Dr. Francois Trochu, Polytechnique Montreal
Time: 4/14, 11AM-12PM EST.
Register in advance for this webinar: https://bit.ly/3se6JcV.
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).
We will be teaching a short course on residual stress on June 12, 2022 at the SEM Experimental Mechanics conference in Pittsburgh.
See below and https://sem.org/annual (under PROGRAMS/COURSES) for details.
Residual stress short courses don't happen too often. The course should be appropriate for students, industrialists, and researchers. Hope you can make it. The proceeds all benefit SEM.

This blog concerns an interesting review of the interaction integral methodology. It deserves to be read by everyone dealing with analyses of cracks. If one's focus is on mathematical analysis or numerics is irrelevant. The review is for all of us. The review paper is, ”Interaction integral method for computation of crack parameters K–T – A review", by Hongjun Yu and Meinhard Kuna, Engineering Fracture Mechanics 249 (2021) 107722, p. 1-34.
