Profs. Satya Atluri from UC Irvine, Nancy Sottos from UIUC, and Zhigang Suo from Harvard are confirmed Plenary Speakers for McMat2015. One additional plenary speaker from industry will be announced soon.
The US Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) is calling for nominations for the Gallagher Young Investigator Medal. The description from the USACM Awards page reads:
As part of the USACM's 13th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM13) to be held in San Diego, California, July 26-30, 2015, we are organizing a minisymposium on
advances and applications in Generalized/Extended Finite Element Methods.
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions: Interdisciplinary Projects between University of Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania and Argonne National Laboratory
Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and Hysitron, Inc. are pleased to present Nanobrücken 2015: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting, which will take place on April 21-23, 2015 in Potsdam, Germany. Nanobrücken 2015 is the fifth edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series, having been hosted in both Saarbrücken and Dresden.
The Keynote Speaker for this year's workshop will be Prof. Mathias Göken, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) at The Ohio State University has an immediate opening for a one-year postdoctoral research associate position. The project is aimed at the application of the finite element method for simulating and optimizing the laser ablation process in aircrafts. The optimization process involves characterizing the optimal laser parameters (e.g., peak power, fluence, intensity, etc.) to maximize the coating removal efficiency while minimizing damage to the substrate material.
We would like to invite you to give a contributed talk at our symposium on “Mechanics and Materials in the Oilfield”, at the ASME IMECE November 13-19, 2015 in Houston, Texas.
Please forward this announcement to others you think may be interested in participating.
12-25 Mechanics and Materials in the Oilfield
Dear iMechanica,
Last July I posted a journal club entry on overcoming the traditional challenges in mechanically actuating liquid-crystalline elastomers (http://imechanica.org/node/16853). I'm glad to say we finally got our first manuscript regarding this work published in RSC Advances (DOI: 10.1039/C5RA01039J).
