2nd Y.C. FUNG STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION ON BIOMECHANICS, BIOPHYSICS AND BIOMATERIOMICS
EMI 2012 Conference June 17-20, 2012, Notre Dame, IN (http://emipmc12.nd.edu/index.html)
Sponsored by the Biomechanics Committee of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
In my previous blog, I complained about colleagues developing constitutive models without having any notion about the specific nature of deformation and damage and their micromechanical mechanisms. Unfortunately, this happens more often than one might (or would like to) believe, as a recent example testifies.

Yang Wei wants to reform attitudes towards research ethics at Zhejiang University and across the country.
Yang Wei has an easy smile and a carefree, even distracted, air — but he takes such a solemn approach to life that his wife sometimes tells him to relax. “I take everything seriously,” he says.
Dear colleagues:
We are looking for a Ph.D. candiate to join the group of Applied Mechanics and Bioengineering at the University of Zaragoza. The four-year PhD fellowships cover the full tuition, a monthly stipend, and health insurance.
