SES 2013: Experimental Nanobiomechanics Symposium
Dear Colleagues
The SES 50th Annual Technical Meeting will be held July 28-31, 2013 at Brown University (Providence, RI, USA).
I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium: "Experimental Nanobiomechanics", under Mechanics of Biological and Soft materials.
Academic posts (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader/Professor) in Computational Mechanics(including Fracture Mechanics, Inelasticity
Academic posts (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader/Professor) in Computational Mechanics(including Fracture Mechanics, Inelasticity and Geomechanics) Durham University, UK
Up to four posts are available to join an existing team including a number of recent young hires (Akkerman, Koziara, Coombs, Giani, Mao, Gonnet ... ) in a general engineering school which also includes computer science. We are now one of the largest groups in computational mechanics in the UK.
A Geometric Structure-Preserving Discretization Scheme for Incompressible Linearized Elasticity
In this paper, we present a geometric discretization scheme for incompressible linearized elasticity. We use ideas from discrete exterior calculus (DEC) to write the action for a discretized elastic body modeled by a simplicial complex. After characterizing the configuration manifold of volume-preserving discrete deformations, we use Hamilton's principle on this configuration manifold. The discrete Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained without using Lagrange multipliers.
USNCCM12 Abstract Submission Deadline Extended, List of Short Courses
Due to a large number of requests, the deadline to submit an abstract to the 12th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics, to be held in Raleigh this summer, has been extended to March 15, 2013. Students and postdoctoral fellows should note that there are travel awards available for the Congress.

Call for proposals from the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics for organizing AmeriMech Symposia
AmeriMech symposia are intended to promote interactions among researchers in an area of contemporary interest in the mechanics of fluids and solids. It is expected that the symposia will address topics of a specialized nature, will be small in size (about 50 participants) with minimal cost, held in an informal setting, encourage participation of young researchers, and promote interdisciplinary ideas and discussions. This format allows for in-depth discussions and close interactions between participants.
