It is with pleasure that Elsevier and the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics jointly announce the award of the 2016 Rodney Hill Prize for contributions to the field of Solid Mechanics to Dr. Raymond Ogden of the University of Glasgow. The prize will be presented to Dr. Ogden at the 2016 International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics to be held in Montreal, Canada. This prize was founded by and is sponsored by Elsevier.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING & ENGINEERING MECHANICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN has multiple tenure-track faculty positions open at the rank of assistant professor with a start date of September 2016. Please visit the Department website for details. Applications received by December 1, 2015 are assured full consideration, but the search will continue until the positions are filled.  

Dear Everyone,

I would like to share with you my review article titled "Effect of Point and Line Defects on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene: A Review": http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10408436.2015.1068160

Dear everyone!

Welcome to theme articles on frontiers and current applications in elasticity will be published in the SCI-indexed journal Acta Mechanica Sinica http://ams.cstam.org.cn.

Theme Articles on Frontiers and Current Applications in Elasticity

Guest editor: Heng Xiao 

The Schools of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position within the area of computational materials science.  Expertise is sought in modeling at the material microstructure and interface level using methods such as molecular dynamics, dislocation dynamics, ab-initio, and phase field modeling.  Appointment may be in either School depending on disciplinary alignment.

A postdoctoral research position is opened at The University of Texas at San Antonio in Mechanical Engineering Department in the area of computational multi-physics. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in numerical methods and simulation technologies on one or more topics below: continuum mechanics, solid mechanics, micromechanics, fluid mechanics, multiphase flow, reservoir and geomechanics, hydraulic fracturing, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, nonlinear and finite deformation problem, and coupled multi-field problems. The project starts immediately.

The School of Engineering at Stanford University (http://soe.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of robotics and autonomous systems. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialization area or department affiliation.

The International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics will be held in Montréal, Canada, August 21-26, 2016.  The deadline for submitting a paper will be 15 January 2016.

2016 Rodney Hill Prize in Solid Mechanics

Congratulations!
