Dear Colleagues,
Please see the attached invitation from the ASME Materials Division. Please note that the Award Lectures will take place at Phoenix Grand Ballroom E (NOT room 227B as in the conference program).
Looking forward to seeing you all!

One PhD position is currently available in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. The project aims to investigate plasma induced damage in solids. This program includes performing experimental mechanics tests, materials characterization techniques and computational materials science methods. Candidates should have a background in solid mechanics, materials science, and physics.

In this contribution, an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model based on the single mode EGP (Eindhoven Glassy Polymer) model is proposed to describe the deformation behaviour of solid polymers subjected to finite deformations under different stress states. The material properties of the original model are determined and calibrated from a uniaxial compression-loading test. Then, several numerical examples under different stress states are presented to illustrate the limitations.

Dear all,
We have just published a research paper presenting, for the first time ever, a method for direct microscale mechanical testing of cement paste. We find this method very useful, and believe that it can provide a good basis for multi-scale modelling of cement and concrete materials.

Abstract:
The elastic Ericksen's problem consists of finding deformations in isotropic hyperelastic solids that can be maintained for arbitrary strain-energy density functions. In the compressible case, Ericksen showed that only homogeneous deformations are possible. Here, we solve the anelastic version of the same problem, that is we determine both the deformations and the eigenstrains such that a solution to the anelastic problem exists for arbitrary strain-energy density functions. Anelasticity is described by finite eigenstrains.
