ASME IMECE 2018 "Deformation and Failure of Multifunctional Materials" – Call for abstracts
Dear Colleagues:
We would like to cordially invite you to attend the symposium entitled "Deformation and Failure of Multifunctional Materials" organized under track "Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids" in the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) ASME 2018 conference. The conference will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 11–14, 2018 (https://www.asme.org/events/imece).

Good day, everyone.
Traditional Failure Criteria
Forums
Hey every one,
I had a look at the book 'Fracture Mechanics, an introduction' by E.E. Gdoutos, in the preface he talks about "Traditional Failure criteria" and how it's not capable of "adequately" explaining many structural failures and this shortcoming led to the emergence of fracture mechanics theory by Griffith.
But he doesn't really give an acount of what he (Gdoutos) means by "traditional failure criteria".
Could someone please explain me what is the "traditional fracture criteria" as oposed to new criteria introduced by fracture mechanics?
Ph. D position in Mechanics of Materials
Two Ph.D positions are open for Fall 2018 in Mechanical Engineering at the Univesrity of New Hampshire.
The student will work on the NSF/CAREER project on Mechanics of Chiral Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials.
(theory, finite element simulations, 3D printing, and mechanical experiments)
The candidate will also have opportunity to apply for the CEPS fellowship.

PhD Position at McGill University in Advanced Nonlinear Materials
One PhD position is available for Fall 2018 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research is on the field of multiscale mechanics of Advanced Nonlinear Architected Materials. Theoretical, computational, and experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiscale multiphysics analysis of architected cellular materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.
