Dear colleagues:
We are pleased to announce that the 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES2016) is now open for registration at
Teng and Abhijit
Co-chairs, SES2016
The second Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) Young Investigator Award is provided by Elsevier to honor the best paper by a young scientist which has been published in volumes 5-8 EML from 2015 to 2016. Nominations and self-nominations are encouraged. Deadline of nomination is Sept. 10, 2016.
To nominate a paper, simply log in to your free Materials Today Account. See the link below for details.
Date / Time: Tuesday, September 13, 2016 / 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Location: Ford Conference & Event Center, Dearborn, MI
Fee: Free-to-attend. Pre-registration is required as places are limited
Register here: http://simpleware.com/news-and-events/events/workshops/workshop-dearborn.html
Who should attend
A recently published paper in mechanical properties of graphene polymer nanocomposites via MD simulations, by Chang-Tsan Lu, Asanka Weerasinghe, Dimitrios Maroudas and Ashwin Ramasubramaniam.
One immediate graduate student RA position is available. The potential student will register to the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering and perform graduate research in the area of energy storage/conversion using first-principles calculations. Stipend and tuition support will be provided.
Any student who has a background in physics and/or materials science at either atomic scales or continuum scales is welcomed to email his/her CV to Prof. Eunseok Lee (eunseok.lee [at] uah.edu).
<p>We consider the scattering of incident plane-wave electrons from a defect in a crystal modeled by the time-harmonic Schrödinger equation. While the defect potential is localized, the far-field potential is periodic, unlike standard free-space scattering problems. Previous work on the Schrödinger equation has been almost entirely in free-space conditions; a few works on crystals have been in one-dimension. We construct absorbing boundary conditions for this problem using perfectly matched layers in a tight-binding formulation.
Dear Sir or Madam, dear colleagues,
Unfortunately Professor Miehe of Stuttgart University passed away on last Sunday, Aug 14. 2016.
Those willing to pay their last respects to Professor Christian Miehe
may take the opportunity to participate in the obsequies, taking place
in the Laurentiuskirche, Reinbeckstraße 8, 70565 Stuttgart (Rohr), 2:00
pm on Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016.
This a second announcement for a new tenure-track faculty position is available in the group of Aerospace Structures and Computational Mechanics (ASCM) at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
Applications are sought for one Post-Doctoral Researcher at University of California, San Diego (USA) to join the M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for multiscale and multiphysics problems optimizing materials and structures.
Relevant research background in the following areas are encouraged to apply:
