The Journal of Applied Mechanics Award is provided by the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to honor the best paper which has been published in the Journal of Applied Mechanics during the two calendar years immediately preceding the year of the award. The award will be made annually to the corresponding author of the paper who received their Ph.D. no more than 10 years prior to July 1 of the year of award.  Corresponding authors who have yet to receive a Ph.D. may also be considered.

The 2017 SES Annual Conference will take place at Northeastern University from July 25-28, 2017.

The conference organizers have now opened the ABSTRACT SUBMISSION. More information on tracks and symposia is available at http://www.northeastern.edu/ses2017/track-topics/

We present an innovative image-based modeling technique, based on Google Earth like algorithms, to effectively resolve intricate material morphology and address the computational complexity associated with heterogeneous materials. This sharp volumetric billboard algorithm stems from a volumetric billboard method, a multi-resolution modeling strategy in computer graphics. In this work, we enhance volumetric billboards through a sharpening filter to reconstruct the statistical information of heterogeneous systems.
