In this book chapter we discuss some applications of algebraic topology in elasticity. This includes the necessary and sufficient compatibility equations of nonlinear elasticity for non-simply-connected bodies when the ambient space is Euclidean. Algebraic topology is the natural tool to understand the topological obstructions to compatibility for both the deformation gradient F and the right Cauchy-Green strain C. We will investigate the relevance of homology, cohomology, and homotopy groups in elasticity.

The coming ICTAM will be held in Milan, August 23-28, 2020.

Professor K. Kishimoto and myself have been mandated by the Chairs to organize the following  thematic session:

SM07 Impact Mechanics and Wave Propagation

We hereby invite our colleagues to submit their abstract and make this session a real success!

Aqueousmethylcellulose solutions are fascinating inverse-freezing materials, known to reversibly form gels upon heating. Recently, these materials have been found to undergo this endothermic solidification upon impact. The imapct-induced solidification was shown to occur in the microseconds’ timescale,  setting the path for examining their functionality for shockabsorption purposes.

We have opening for two Ph.D. students in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (Multiscale Modeling of Materials Lab) at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Applicants with background in solid mechanics, material science and engineering are encouraged to apply. For further information please refer to our website. If you are interested, please email me at fatemeh.ahmadpoor@njit.edu with your most recent CV.

Abstract

Dear colleagues, I'd like to share our recent work on blister testing of multilayer 2D materials that gives a direct measurement of Young's modulus and bending rigidity of a multilayer (~10-70 layers). Materials involved include graphene, MoS2, and hBN.

Please see below and also the attached document for more details. Feel free to distribute and forward to anyone who may be interested.

Candidates can apply by submitting an application (include resume, coursework transcripts, a presentation not exceeding 20 pages) to mqu@slb.com.

一、力学学科简介

华中科技大学是国家教育部直属的全国重点大学，是首批列入国家“211工程”、“985工程”和双一流建设的高校之一。学校1960年设立工程力学系，2000年成立土木工程与力学学院。

A fully funded PhD position is open immediately at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (MSFEA) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) for outstanding candidates in computational and experimental materials discovery for application at energy storage devices such engineering novel energy materials into high-energy rechargeable batteries. We are particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate strong numerical skills combined with hands on electrochemical expertise.

All invited to attend a promising conference on defence-related topics, in the broad context of the subject:

Dental implants are increasingly being placed for edentulous patients worldwide. While the clinical aspects of the implants are extensively investigated, engineering considerations of the implant as a functional structure subjected to ill-defined boundary conditions are less considered. A recent trend is to consider all ceramic implants as an alternative to the classical titanium-based implants.

Dear all,

Our group at TU Delft has recently (co-)authored an article on crack control in concrete beams using strain hardening cementitious composite layer. Interested readers can access the article here (open access): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335589673_Strain_Hardening_Ceme...
