The AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) Structures Technical Committee (STC) is very pleased to announce a call for papers to be presented in a series of special sessions on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) within the AIAA SciTech conference. To this end, the STC Technical Committee is soliciting papers with recent research, technological advancements, and systems level perspectives that address issues/challenges involved in the integration of computational materials models and design/structures over multiple length scales from “processing” to

This book collects English translations of nine papers, published in journals by Clausius, between 1850 and 1865.  This collection of original papers should not be confused with a later book of the same title, also by Clausius, where he worked his original papers into a textbook.

In the attached paper we have shown that graphene and carbon nanotubes are in a self-stress state in their natural equilibrium state, that is, the state prior to the application of external loads. We have identified different sources of self-stresses and accurately evaluated them; we have shown that they are by no means negligible with respect to load-related nanostresses.

Composite Materials & Dynamics Laboratory at University of Missouri, Columbia develops innovative solutions for acoustic/elastic wave control, smart materials, and structural health monitoring. We seek exceptional postdoc scientists to work closely with our research group on exciting research in multifunctional metamaterials for manipulating acoustic/elastic wave propagation, structural health monitoring and sensor applications.

Essential Duties:

As a member of a world-class research team, she/he will:

We plan to recruit a full time postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Southampton to start in early 2016 for the duration of 2.5 years. This multidisciplinary project focuses on design and integration of a multi-sensor system for medical device applications. Through implementing and exploiting these systems, he/she will also carry out scientific studies on biomechanical understanding and disseminate findings through journal publications and conference presentations.

Candidates with general mechatronics background are suitable. Experience in any of the following areas are desirable including instrumentation, control, embedded systems, design & computing, programming, sensor systems, signal/image processing, vision based systems etc.

To express interest and/or for further information, please provide your CV and contact Prof. Liudi Jiang (L.Jiang [at] soton.ac.uk), Tel: +44 (0)23 80598748.

The performances of graphene sheet in micro- and nano-electronics and devices are significantly affected by its morphology, which depends on the surface features of the supporting substrate. The substrates with non-developable convex or concave surface are widely used with graphene sheet in applications but rarely studied. Therefore, theoretical models are established based on energy analysis to explain the adhesion mechanisms and predict the morphology of the monolayer graphene sheet on non-developable surface.

The Corporate CAE group for Becton Dickinson is looking for a CAE Senior Staff Engineer at the Research Triangle Park, NC USA location (Raleigh-Durham area).

Fully funded PhD positions are available to work in any area of theoretical solid mechanics. The candidate will officially be associated with the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India.

Many in this community may have heard the sad news of the passing last weekend of Michael Carroll.  Two obituaries have been posted: one at U.C. Berkeley where he was a faculty member for many years and another at Rice University where he was a former Dean of the College of Engineering.
