Dear Colleagues,

The abstract submission deadline for the 2016 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) International Congress is extended to October 12, 2015. We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to our session on “Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials”. The conference will be held in Buena Vista, FL from June 6–9, 2016. 

Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials

The UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering seek to appoint an outstanding academic with a suitably strong record of research and teaching in Dynamics.  Dynamics is a core discipline within Mechanical Engineering and has strong connections with Solid & Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and most aspects of Control. It is also fundamentally important for other branches of engineering, including Civil, Electrical, Biomedical, and Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering.

Dear Colleagues,

The interaction between cars or trains and bridges has been often described by means of a simplified model consisting of a beam loaded by a traveling mass, or by a traveling oscillator.Among others, two aspects are essential when dealing with masses traveling along flexible vibrating supports: (i) a complete relative kinematics; and (ii) a continuous transition between a traveling mass, rigidly coupled, and a traveling oscillator, elastically coupled with the support.

Traditionally, the deadline for ASME AMD awards nominations has been the 5th of November. However, starting from this year, the AMD executive committee instituted the new deadline of October 1st (see the earlier announcement here). This was done to allow the various awards committee members adequate time to review the growing number of nomination well before the IMECE annual conference.
