SES 2011, Minisymposium on Mechanics of Adhesion
Adhesion has long been an important issue for mechanics and many other disciplines. Its influence spans macro-, micro-, nano- and molecular scales. When size goes down, adhesion plays a more and more significant role. Many important technologies attribute to adhesion, such as transfer printing for advanced microfabrication, super adhesives inspired by gecko foot hairs, and self-assembly. Adhesion also has strong implications on the behavior of nanomaterials (such as nanotubes and graphenes) and biological system (such as cells).
Positive definite stress-strain matrix
Dear friends,
I'm an MSc. student at Bogazici University, Turkiye and I'm working on a thesis project about the failure behaviour of fiber reinforced laminated composite plates under different loading types. The material which we use are AS4 fiber reinforced prepregs and their mechanical properties are the following:
E11 =134,000 MPa
E22 = E33= 9480 MPa
G12 = G13= 5490 MPa
G23 MPa =3272
nu12 = nu13 =0.271
nu23 =0.448
Gordon conference on the Science of Adhesion
The GRC on Adhesion
Science will be held from July 24-29, 2011, at Bates College, Lewiston,
Maine, USA. TThe goal of this conference is to encourage communication
and discussion of ideas and new unpublished resutls at the very frontier
of adhesion science, by bringing together outstanding internation
scientists from academia, industry and government, while striving to
expand traditional adhesion science into new directions such as cell
adhesion, bio-inpsired adhesives and soft matter physics and
mechanics. The GRC offer an exciting opportunity for young
investigators to get involved at the frontier of science. Attendees
will not only be able to discuss the progress of unpublished research
