IMATI-CNR and the Mathematics Department of the University of Pavia offer a postdoc position on isogeometric analysis. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of innovative isogeometric methods for solid/fluid mechanics.  In particular the target applications are related to

- nearly-incompressible and fibered materials

- fluids in geological formations

This research project is partially supported by the private sector, and is supervised by Annalisa Buffa and Giancarlo Sangalli.

The abstract submission is open now, http://www.mrs.org/spring2015/, and will be due on Oct. 23.

Symposium H: Mechanics of Energy Storage and Conversion─Batteries, Thermoelectrics and Fuel Cells

Please find the attached document for further information.

The annual Society for Experimental Mechanics Conference will take place June 8-11 in Costa Mesa, CA.

The abstract deadline is October 1st. All abstracts must be 200 words or less. Submissions can be entered at http://www.sem.org/Conference-Abstract-Submission.cfm?ConfNumber=100207.

This 52th meeting of the Society of Natural Philosophy, entitled “Scale Bridging in Mathematical and Mechanical Sciences”, is focused on the formulation, analysis, and simulation of boundary-value and initial-boundary-value problems for partial-differential equations describing the behavior of materials which exhibit complexity and structure on varying length and time scales. Attention is specifically addressed to the mechanics of complex fluids and solids, including nano- and biomaterials.

二、申请条件

It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

High-performance stretchable electronics have to utilize high-quality inorganic electronic materials such as silicon, oxide or nitride dielectrics, and metals. These inorganic materials usually crack or yield at very small intrinsic strains, for example, 1%, whereas bio-integrated electronics are expected to at least match the stretchability of bio-tissues (20%) and deployable structure health monitoring networks are expected to expand from wafer scale (several centimeters) to cover macroscopic structures (several meters).

Dear colleagues, 

We cordinally invite you to submit abstracts for our symposium on Multiscale Digitial Rock and Granular Physics in the upcoming EMI conference (June 16-19, 2015) at Stanford University. The scope of the conference is listed below. The due date for the abstract submission is 11/15/2014. Further details can be found at http://www.emi2015.info/

Best Regards,

Dear Mechanics Colleagues:

A pleasant reminder that we invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium on “Multifunctional and Multiphysics Materials for Energy Applications” at the 2015 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Annual Conference, to be held on June 8-11, 2015, in Costa Mesa, CA.
