Dear colleagues,
We would like to cordially invite you to participate in the Mini-Symposium on "Quasibrittle Fracture of Heterogeneous Composites: Modeling and Characterization" at the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Conference to be held in Baltimore, Maryland from May 31 to June 3, 2022.
I have a few positions (funded by AFRL, ARO, etc) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK). The positions should start in January 2022 or at the latest Fall 2022. One of the positions requires US citizenship. The projects are in the following general areas:
A new research topic opened in Forntiers in Mechanical Engineering.
Applicants are invited to apply for an immediate Postdoc position in our group at Sabanci University, Istanbul in the field of 3D/4D printing of continuous fiber-reinforced polymers.
Position requirements:
- M.Sc./Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering, chemical engineering, Polymer engineering
-Knowledge and experience with Extrusion 3D printing and design/modification of printer parts
-Knowledge and experience with Polymer chemistry (synthesizing of polymers is a plus)
A PostDoc/Research Associate Position is available immediately at Colorado School of Mines. The applicants should have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or in a relevant field, with a strong background in DFT calculations, MD simulations and/or phase-field modeling. Project involves developing new models for diffusionless phase transformation and ferroelasticity. Knowledge of machine learning and data analysis is a plus.

Dear Colleagues
The Hellenic Society for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (HSTAM) in cooperation with the University of Patras and the Hellenic Open University announce the 13th HSTAM International Congress on Mechanics to be held in Patras from 24-27 August 2022.
The conference is dedicated to Professor Dimitri Beskos to honor his long and productive career in Solid Mechanics and Structural Dynamics as well as his longstanding contribution to HSTAM.
Please open the attached letter.
Best wishes
The submersion of a polymer network with a high density of hydrogen bond based cross-links in an aqueous bath results in the formation of a rubber-like hydrogel. The cross-links, which connect chains and maintain the structure of the network, can dissociate as a result of two main factors: (1) the interactions between the hydrogen bonds and the surrounding water molecules and (2) the forces that are exerted on the cross-link from the interconnected chains.
