Submit your abstract for the 2019 Society of Engineering Science meeting on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), October 13-15, 2019, deadline April 30, 2019 Information about tracks and symposia: https://ses2019.wustl.edu/track-symposia/ 

Dear all,

I bring your attention to the following workshop that will be held in Rome on November 18-20, 2019.

Attendance of the workshop is free. All the relevant information are available in the attached flyer.

Workshop RAM3, Recent Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics of Materials — 2nd International Meeting of Young Researchers

November 18-20 2019, Facoltà di Ingegneria Civile e Industriale, Sapienza Università di Roma, via Eudossiana 18, Roma 

Description

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original research on geomechanics and multiphase flow for subsurface engineering applications, with a particular emphasis on the poromechanics of geologic faults. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms.

Abstract submission for the Society of Engineering Science annual conference is now open:

https://ses2019.wustl.edu/track-symposia/abstracts/

The deadline to submit is April 30th, 2019. Please consider subitting to our symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Soft Materials. A full description is given below.

Colleagues:

The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at Washington University in St. Louis on October 13-15, 2019. As part of this meeting we are organizing Symposium 7.4 on “Mechanics of Electrochemically Active Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30

Date / Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 / 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Location: Synopsys Denmark, Vester Farimagsgade 3, Copenhagen, Denmark

Fee: Free-to-attend. Pre-registration is required as places are limited

Who Should Attend

Dear colleague,

the abstract submission deadline for

CIVIL-COMP 2019

The Sixteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

16-19 September 2019 Riva Del Garda Congress Centre, Lake Garda, Italy

http://www.civil-compconf.com/

is extended to 6th May 2019.

The day before the SEM Conference this June in Reno, Nevada, USA, we will be teaching a short course entitled Residual Stress 101: https://sem.org/annualprogram. See below for a description of the course. We will cover lots of practical material on residual stresses, much of which is not covered in standard engineering curricula. This is great material for any interested researcher who never got a comprehensive background in residual stress. It will also be great for graduate students or advanced undergrads, and students pay half price.

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.

The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.

The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.
