Postdoctoral Research Associate in Granular Materials under Impact at University of Sydney
An exciting new research position for a Postdoctoral Research Associate is
now available in a project funded by the Australian Research Council, led by Professor Itai
Einav and Dr Luming
Shen. The project is to study fragmentation waves in granular materials,
applicable in geosciences, and in engineering problems of material mining,
petroleum processes, and pharmaceutical operations.

3rd International Conference on Material Modelling incorporating the 13th European Mechanics of Materials Conference
Dear Colleagues,
During the last decades material modelling has become a field of central
scientific importance. Although there exist many workshops, meetings,
colloquia, etc. on specific materials, and particular applications, here a
single conference dedicated to material modelling with all its various
facets is intended. To this end, the aim of the ICMM conference is to bring
together researchers from the various fields of material modelling and
materials characterization. The intention here is to cover essentially all
