Authors: Amir Abdollahi and Irene Arias, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona
Abstract:
Dear Colleagues,
Following the last successful events in the past years, the next ESAFORM
Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2013) will represent the 16th
edition of one of the most important and well-established international
research meetings on the material forming field. The conference will be held
at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 22 to 24 of April, 2013.

I wender about the limitation of the Navier methode for the solution of the probleme of plate " Why is vailable only for simply supported plates " for wiche raison " mathimathicaly or another thing.........?
thanks
Dear All,
Currently I am working on the fracture property in layered material and I am focusing on the situation when crack is perpendicular to
interface. I have read the paper by Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. Suo. If you know any paper that is focusing on the crack perpendicular to the
interface, please tell me.
Thanks and Regards,
Ding
For monoclinic polycrystalline materials, how can we uniquely index the X-ray diffraction spectrum so that we can calculate the accurate lattice parameters a, b, c and beta? Due to the fact that there are four unknown variables coupled to determine d-spacings, we can not easily read out the lattice parameters until enough diffraction peaks positions are obtained correctly. This leads to two questions
1. How do we get the full diffraction peaks from a monoclinic polycrystalline sample if it is partially textured?
In this paper we obtain the residual stress field of a nonlinear elastic solid with a spherically-symmetric distribution of point defects. To our best knowledge, this is the first nonlinear solution for point defects since the linear solution of Love in the 1920s.
A new postdoctoral position in the mechanics of glassy/amorphous materials is
available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The project will focus on
strongly non-linear phenomena such as cavitation, shear-banding and fracture,
with applications to Bulk Metallic Glasses, and will involve advanced
ABSTRACT DEADLINE APPROACHING 31st July 2012
Dear Colleagues
We have received a healthy number of abstracts already for CM13 but we invite you to consider submitting one if you have not done so already. The deadline is 31st July 2012 with full papers due October 15th 2012 (so that they can be reviewed). Please visit the conference website for more details, or contact me directly. I hope some of you can join us in England in 2013.
