We are pleased to announce our first confirmed speakers for the 5th International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2020), which will be held at the beautiful location of Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, UK, 13-16 September 2020.
Plenary speaker:
Prof. Dr. Stanislav Gorb, Kiel University, Zoological Institute, Functional Morphology and Biomechanics, Germany
Dear all,
The Mechanics of Complex Systems Lab at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (https://publish.illinois.edu/mcslabuiuc/)is hiring two postdoctoral researchers in the broad area of computational mechanics and its applications to environmental mechanics.

An Adaptive Quasi-Continuum Approach for Modeling Fracture in Networked Materials: Application to Modeling of Polymer Networks
2 funded PhD positions are available immediately. The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, biomaterials, and composite materials. Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S.
Duke University will host on April 24, 2020 the 31th Annual Robert J. Melosh Competition for best papers by graduate (or recently graduated) students.
The deadline for extended abstract submission is January 20, 2020.
Students interested in participating can find more details about the format of the competition and submission requirements at

and
The Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University has started a search for 3 tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor or associate professor level with a desired start date of September 2020. We seek to fill the positions (one each) in the following areas:
1. Geotechnical Engineering. For this position, we are primarily interested in applicants who have expertise in energy geotechnics and coastal geotechnics. Also of interest is environmental geotechnics.
Dear Colleagues:
We cordially invite your participation in the mini-symposium
“Advances of Machine Learning in Material Design, Modeling and Processing” (MS226)
at the 14th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIV) to be held on July 19-24, 2020 in Paris, France. This is a great opportunity for researchers, graduate students and post docs who are working on this emergent field to share their experiences and discuss on recent progress.
Fully funded PhD positions in the area of meta-materials, computational mechanics and wave propagation available in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University. Research will be in topics related to the mechanics of metamaterials and the mechanics of amorphous or granular media.
Students often have a tough time understanding the crack driving force in an elementary course on fracture mechanics.
A recent free access article has been published on a fluid analogy to the crack driving force and the Riabouchinsky free streamline problem for ideal fluid flow around two plates. Hopefully this analogy can aid in the visualization.
