We are delighted to announce that Alan Turnbull, National Physical Laboratory, UK will be joining our list of prestigious keynote speakers at the twelfth International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials. Alan Turnbull was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2011 and Fellow of the Royal Society in 2013. In 2016, he was awarded the OBE for services to science and industry. 

for 3 years, fully employed, at Graz University of Technology, Austria in the following areas:

The candidate will work in a project related with smart manufacturing of composite materials by injection/infusion techniques. The project will consist in a joint collaboration between Data Mining Research Group from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and IMDEA Materials Institute. The research activities will be focussed on the application of simulation techniques (computational fluid mechanics) to the optimization of manufacturing process of composite materials by liquid moulding, including the creation of a physical demonstrator.

Wrinkles have attracted a lot of attention in the fields of material science and engineering applications. And dielectric elastomer is a potential smart material which has advantages including large deformation, light weight, high energy density, quick response and et al. We try to use DE to make a wrinkle structure which is quick response and reversible easily.

The organizers of the 2018 SES Conference are currently seeking proposals for symposia.

The 2018 SES conference program is grouped in four tracks:

• Frontiers of Engineering Science,
• Engineering and Mathematics,
• Engineering and Physical Sciences, and
• Engineering and Life Sciences.

A number of thematic symposia will be organized in each track to cover the current state of the art in different areas of Engineering Science as well as at the interface between engineering and different sciences.

Proposals can be submitted at

2018 SES Conference - Madrid, Spain

Dear colleagues

We sincerely invite you to attend the coming International Conference on Impact Loading of Structures and Materials to be held in Xi'an, China during May 7th-11th, 2018.

The list of topics includes but is not limited to:

• Material behavior at high strain rates (lightweight alloys, composites, polymers, metals, foams, ceramics, biological materials)

• Structural failure under impact, energy absorbing systems and crashworthiness

• New dynamic experimental techniques

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the minsymposium (11) on "Damage of Composites under Impact Loading" at the 2018 International Conference of Damage Mechanics which will be held at Tongji University (Shanghai, China) on July 4-6, 2018. You can find a description of the symposium and the conference website (http://www.icdm3.cn/).

The deadline of short abstract (80 words) is November 15, 2017.

Look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Best Regards,
