My group at Peking University proposed a novel mechano-chemical continuum model based on the framework of thermodynamics that can describe the microstructural evolution in metallic glass, and connect it with the macroscopic plastic deformation. The model successfully simulated the shear band instability and dilatancy effects of metallic glass under uniaxial tension and simple shear.

Dear Colleagues,
The 18th USNC/TAM Congress to be held June 5-9, 2018 in Chicago. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a symposium named 321: Mechanics in Nano- And Micro-Scale Material Design: Synthesis, Experiments, Theory and Simulation.
In an article published in the August 20 issue of Nature Communications, we report a mechanochemical phenomenon in graphene oxide membranes, covalent epoxide-to-ether functional group transformations that deviate from epoxide ring-opening reactions, discovered through nanomechanical experiments and density functional-based tight binding calculations.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the co-organizers, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium on "Symposium on Advanced Nanomanufacturing and Mechanics of Structural Nanomaterials", Topic 10-7 under track "Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids" at the upcoming 2013 ASME IMECE conference to be held in San Diego, CA from November 15-21.
