We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to the symposium of Mechanics of Multifunctional 2D materials and 2D-based Nanostructures at the 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2016) to be held at University of Maryland College Park (October 2-5, 2016).
Symposium Description
Simpleware at NAFEMS UK 2016, June 15-16
The 2016 NAFEMS UK Regional Conference will cover a wide range of topics, addressing every aspect of engineering analysis and simulation during a 2-day program. The 2016 conference will bring together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum. Covering all aspects of the technology including FEA, CFD & MBS, the event will focus heavily on best-practice, use cases, state of the art, problem areas, developing fields and much more.

Three open positions for Ph.D.
Pr. Remacle has recently received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The aim of the research is to work
on hexahedral mesh generation, including parallel meshing, boundary layer meshing and GPU-based meshing. Three (or more) open positions
for a Ph.D. mandate are open. Candidates should directly contact Jean-François Remacle (jean-francois.remacle [at] uclouvain.be).
Open position (Post-doc)
Employment as an assistant researcher (Post-doc) at the project OPUS from National Centre of Science.
Journal Club Theme of June 2016: 2D Materials: Current and Future Directions
Two-Dimensional (2D) materials have been widely studied since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Many of the initial works on the various 2D materials (graphene, MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and others like the monochalcogenides) by mechanicians focused on issues like ideal strength, and appropriate methods to calculate the bending modulus. Some of these, and other issues, were reviewed by Sulin Zhang in a J-Club from March 2015 (http://imechanica.org/node/17999). That was a nic
