A CISM Advanced School on Nonlinear Dynamics and Model Order Reduction is scheduled in October 2023 (9-13) in Udine, Italy. Interested colleagues and students might want to consider attending the CISM event. Please see the corresponding flyer for more information.

The Acoustics Week in Canada will be held from October 3-6, 2023 in downtown Montreal, Quebec. You are invited to be part of this three-day conference featuring the latest developments in Canadian acoustics and vibration. The conference will be held at the Plaza in downtown Montreal. Here are some important dates to remember:

International Conference on Composites: Design, Processing, Manufacturing and Health Monitoring (CDPMHM 2024), will be organized at IIT Mandi (Himachal Pradesh, India) during 20-21 June 2024.

Advanced Master MAPMOD

Digital Materials and Advanced Processes Modelling

MAPMOD is a one-year full-time postgraduated program in line with industrial needs for high level competences in high added value components or equipment manufacturing in fields such as aeronautics, energy, automotive…

You will use up-to-date computational industrial tools and get the knowledge on both computational methods and material physics and mechanics. You will understand the material behaviour from micro to macro scale. You will learn to model innovative processes.

Dear All, 

The 34th Annual Robert J. Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper in Computational Mechanics will be held at Duke University on October 16, 2023.

We encourage you to contribute an abstract to the minisymposium "Mechanics of Granular Media: Experiments, Theory, and Modeling" (Minisymposium 2-1) at the 2023 SES Annual Technical Meeting to be held in Minneapolis, MN, October 8-11, 2023. The minisymposium description may be found below. For further details and to submit an abstract, please see the meeting website.

The abstract submission deadline is May 5, 2023.

It would be great to see you there!

1. Introduction

Because of its overwhelming pervasiveness and high-stakes impact on the mechanical performance of structures made of inorganic and live matter alike (bridges, airplanes, bones, ligaments,...), fracture has attracted the attention of humans, researchers and laymen the same, for centuries.
