Dear All,

Prof. Nikhil Koratker , Editor of CARBON, is a world-renowned researcher in the field of energy research. Please visit his homepage for detail. 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for two full-time faculty positions with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2017, or later. The Department is looking for exceptional individuals in all core areas of Mechanical Engineering with particular emphasis in fluid mechanics (tenure-track Assistant Professor), and micro and nanoscale thermal sciences and their application to energy systems (tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor).

Honeywell Turbo Technologies to present the power of TURBOdesign Suite with the success of turbocharger compressors at this year’s VINAS conference 2016 in Tokyo

Honeywell is a global fortune 100 company that invents and manufactures technologies to address tough challenges linked to global macrotrends such as safety, security, and energy. They will take the stage and present at this year’s VINAS conference on 13th and 14th October 2016 in Tokyo Conference Center Shinagawa.

Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook University, New York, US.

The research program is about mechanics and multifunctional applications of new advanced materials (such as polymer cellular solids, polymer composites, and metamaterials) focusing on mechanical performance, 3D printing, acoustic/elastic wave propagation, energy absorption, and impact resistance. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply. 

We introduce some Hilbert complexes involving second-order tensors on flat compact manifolds with boundary that describe the kinematics and the kinetics of motion in nonlinear elasticity. We then use the general framework of Hilbert complexes to write Hodge-type and Helmholtz-type orthogonal decompositions for second-order tensors.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level effective September 1, 2017.  This position is part of the strategic expansion intended to support research and teaching activities in the areas of sustainable water and environmental engineering. 

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the Shock & Blast session under track 1'Dynamic Behavior of Materials'. This symposium is part of the 2017 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and applied Mechanics to be held at Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, USA, June 12-15, 2017.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to the 2017 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) International Congress session on “Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials”. The conference will be held in Indianapolis, IN from June 12–15, 2017. Abstracts are due October 17, 2016 via the SEM.org website.

Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials

Dear Friends:

As was also mentioned by another colleague (http://imechanica.org/node/20391), Prof. Gérard Maugin passed away on September 22, 2016.

The following is a message that my good friend Prof. Marcelo Epstein sent me and a few other colleagues. He has kindly given me permission to share it with you.
