We are delighted to announce that the 24th International Conference on Wear of Materials will take place in majestic Banff, Alberta, Canada from 16-20 April 2023.

The conference will focus on advances in the understanding of both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials and will provide a forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest understandings. 

Dear colleagues,

it is our great pleasure to announce the third International Teaching Staff Week of the Simulation Science Center Clausthal-Göttingen. The event will take place online from March 21 to 25, 2022. During the Teaching Staff Week, lecturers from abroad will offer courses in the field of simulation for material sciences. This year, the lecturers and topics are as follows:

Dear Colleagues,

We are still inviting submissions to our thematic session on ‘Multiphysics Problems’ at the 42^nd Solid Mechanics Conference (SOLMECH) combined with the 24^th Conference on Computer Methods in Mechanics in Swinoujscie (Poland), September 5-8, 2022 http://cmm-solmech.ippt.pan.pl/index.html . Please see more details in the attached PDF.

Dear iMechanicians, I hope that you find the below work interesting. We have developed a phase field-based computational framework for predicting fatigue crack nucleation and growth in Shape Memory Alloys. The model captures the role of transformation stresses, stress-strain hysteresis, and temperature. And this is demonstrated by computing Δε − N curves, quantifying Paris law parameters, and predicting fatigue crack growth rates in several geometries, including the fatigue failure of a 3D lattice structure.
