Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute an abstarct to the minisimposium 1008 "Modeling Materials with Coupled Physics (thermo- electro- chemo- and magneto-mechanics)"  within the 13th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM13) to be held in San Diego, California, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, July 26-30, 2015.  The deadline is Feb. 15, 2015. Please visit the conference webpage: http://13.usnccm.org/

Following a late cancellation, we have one vacancy left for our one-week intensive course on Digital Image Correlation to be held in Ghent, Belgium, 12-16 January 2015. All details can be found on the course website.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following minisympoisum taking place as part of the 15th Pan American Conference of Applied Mechnaics (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign May 18021 2015). Deadline for abstract submission is Dec 31st 2014.

Friction, Fracture, and Damage

As part of the EPSRC project entitled 'Innovative photomechanical approaches in identification of the dynamic mechanical behaviour of materials', two PhD positions are open to EU/UK applicants.

Dear Colleagues,

The ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT-2015, to be held in Seattle from June 29-July 1, 2015 is a prime opportunity to showcase your research and network with other researchers in the field. The website for abstract submission is now open. On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to submit your abstract (up to 2 per speaker) at:  Http://www.asmeconferences.org/mcmat2015

Sincerely,

Junlan Wang

General Conference Chair

I need to know Paris constant (cp,mp) for Mild carbon steel (Q345)...can anybody help me??

tnx alot

Five-month temporary assignment starting from the beginning of March 2015, in Service de Recherches de Métallurgie Physique, CEA/Saclay (France).

Title of the project: Ab initio modeling of dislocations in body-centered cubic metals.

Research area: Solid State Physics, Material Science

Finite element method (FEM) with fixed representative volume element (RVE) encounters some difficulties in simulating the periodical postbuckling behaviors of infinite long beam or infinite large film on soft substrate under compression, because the wavelength and pattern of buckling are not known before simulation and will change with the increase of compression strain.
