Some implications of the simplest accounting of defects of compatibility in the velocity field on the structure of the classical Navier-Stokes equations are explored, leading to connections between classical elasticity, the elastic theory of defects, plasticity theory, and classical fluid mechanics.
Dear Colleagues,
Here is our recently published article on Symmetry-adapted real-space density functional theory for large nanotubes and bending deformations of thin sheets
Title: Symmetry-adapted real-space density functional theory for cylindrical geometries: Application to large group-IV nanotubes
Authors: Swarnava Ghosh, Amartya S. Banerjee, Phanish Suryanarayana*
Concise summary
Dear iMechanica colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit a contribution for the Minisymposium on “Analysis and Methods for the Simulation of Deformation, Failure and Coupled Processes Across Scales” (description below), organized for the 2020 International Conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute, April 24-26, at Durham, UK.
Details for the conference can be found on the conference website: https://sites.durham.ac.uk/emi2020-ic/
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
Dear Colleagues
I would like to share with you our recent work published on Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.
Abstract
Fresh in Advanced Materials! Synthesis & molecular dynamics modeling of conductive, highly stretchable, flexible, & biocompatible silk‐based composite sensors using biobased carbon materials. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.201904720
Two fully funded PhD positions are available immediately in Dr. Wei Gao’s research group at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The research will be on computational and experimental study on engineering and biological materials. UTSA is located in San Antonio, Texas, a vibrant city of more than 1.6 million people, with significant economic growth and numerous industrial establishments. The city and the University provide excellent cultural and educational opportunities as well as exceptional employment opportunities.
