Dear Colleague,
We would like to invite you to participate in the Annual Symposium on “Phononic Crystals and Metamaterials” at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Expo (IMECE) to be held in Montreal, Quebec (Nov. 14-20, 2014).
Please find attached the Call-for-Papers for the symposium. The conference website is at: http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2014/
The Department of Mechanical Engineering Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia wish to make an academic appointment in the area of:
The Computational Science Research Center at San Diego State University is looking for talented and motivated applicants for its interdisciplinary master's and Ph.D. program in Computational Science.
I recently posted a free, online, and
condensed version of my book Intermediate Mechanics of Materials, Second
Edition. It is posted on my website madhuvable.org
and can be used for reference or by self-learners. In addition to the
online book, there is a glossary of mechanics terms, brief reviews of
Statics, Matrix Algebra, Numerical Methods, and Mechanics of Materials.

Topic: Towards zero prototyping in ceramic component design
A highly deformable capacitor made of a soft dielectric and two conformal
electrodes can switch between two states discontinuously, by a first-order transition, as the total
charge varies gradually. When the total charge is small, it spreads evenly over the area of the
capacitor, and the capacitor deforms homogeneously. When the total charge is large, it localizes in
a small region of the capacitor, and this region thins down preferentially. The capacitor will
Apples and oranges. Each element in a set is a pile containing some number of apples and some number of oranges. Adding two piles means putting them together, resulting in a pile in the set. Multiplying a pile and a real number r means finding in the set a pile r times the amount. We model each pile as a vector, and the set as a two-dimensional vector space over the field of real numbers.
Overview: The peridynamic formulation is a
spatially nonlocal derivative free model for simulating problems of free crack
propagation.Material points interact through short-range forces and the
formulation allows for discontinuous deformations. Here the short-range forces
are initially elastic and soften beyond a critical relative displacement. We
upscale this peridynamic model to find the macroscopic (a.k.a. small horizon)
limit. It is shown that the limiting macroscopic evolution has bounded energy
given by the bulk and surface energies of brittle fracture mechanics. The
macroscopic evolution corresponds to the simultaneous evolution
of the fracture surface and linear elastic displacement away from the crack
