Thank you to all of you for this fine honor.
Submit your abstract now for the International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials X, at http://www.fatiguedamageconference.com/submit-abstract.html
The abstract submission deadline is on the 13 December 2013. Don't miss out on your chance to be a part of this exciting meeting.
All submitted abstracts will undergo a full review with accepted abstracts selected for either poster display or oral presentation.
Dear Mechanics Colleagues:
A pleasant reminder that we invite you to submit an abstract to a minisymposium on "Nano and Bio
Mechanics" for the 2014 USNCTAM, June 15-20, 2014, to be held at
Michigan State University. This minisymposium will focus on the
development and application of
both experimental techniques and computational models and methods to
problems of interest in the fields of nano and bio mechanics. Topics of
interest will include, but are not limited to:
In this paper, the mechanical behavior of freestanding thin sputter-deposited films of Au is studied at temperatures up to 340°C using tensile testing. Films tested at elevated temperatures exhibit a significant decrease in flow stress and stiffness. Furthermore the flow stress decreases with decreasing film thickness, contravening the usual notion that “smaller is stronger”. This behavior is attributed mainly to diffusion-facilitated grain boundary sliding.
This paper has been accepted by Scripta Materialia.
The group of Advanced Materials and Dynamics Lab at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has one opening for a Ph.D. student in the field of mechanics of materials. The appointment is starting on May 2014 or August 2014.
Consider the set of monic fourth-order real polynomials transformed so that the constant term is one. In the three-dimensional space of the coefficients describing this set, the domain of asymptotic stability is bounded by a surface with the Whitney umbrella singularity. The maximum of the real parts of the roots of these polynomials is globally minimized at the Swallowtail singular point of the discriminant surface of the set corresponding to a negative real root of multiplicity four.
