How to Apply
On behalf of the 2015 Board of Directors of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new SES award: The James R. Rice Medal. The creation of the new award is motivated by the recognition that while several societies, including the SES, have young-investigator awards as well as others that primarily (although not exclusively) target senior scientists, there are relatively few that are suitable for those who are in the typical mid-career age of 40-55. The award, named after Professor James R.
Professor Richard Christensen, Stanford University, has published an interesting article "Evaluation of Ductile/Brittle Failure Theory and Derivation of the Ductile/Brittle Transition Temperature" in the February, 2016, issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics. This paper provides a very unique approach to ductile/brittle transition. The pdf file of the paper is attached.
Yong Zhu, of North Carolina State University, will become the new Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club starting from Jan. 1, 2016. His research addresses basic and applied problems at the intersection of solid mechanics and micro/nano-technology, which has been recognized by a list of awards, including the 2015 ASME Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Award.

... We do not assume any of those words make any kind of sense, though we do make certain assumptions about how much time the reader has on her hands and what kind of sense of humor she has.
I urge you to read the rest of the dissertation.
A fully funded PhD studentship is available, the aim of the project is to design, manufacture and test a range of lattices on the micron to millimetre scale. There is scope for predicting the mechanical response such as strength, toughness and fatigue resistance of two inter-penetrating lattices with application to automotive crash resistance, for example.
Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) a 1st class degree (and preferably a Masters degree) from an Engineering or Materials background.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2015.11.008 Metallic thin-walled round tubes are widely used as energy absorption elements. However, lateral splash of the round tubes under impact loadings reduces the energy absorption efficiency and may cause secondary damages. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble and fasten round tubes together by boundary constraints and/or fasteners between tubes, which increases the time and labor cost and affects the mechanical performance of round tubes. In an
