(1) Bonding by elastic adhesive contact: This community here is perhaps more familiar with bonding elastic solids by adhesive contact, such as gecko adhesion, or more generally rough surface adhesion. But what about bonding two pieces of metals?
Dear Colleagues:
You are cordially invited to contribute to the following symposium at SES 2016. Please note the deadline of 6/15/2016. Many thanks!

Symposium C1: Bio-Adhesive Contacts and Biomimetics with Extreme Properties
Dear Colleagues:
You may have heard that Brown University will host the SES 50th Annual Technical Meeting and ASME-AMD Annual Summer Meeting (July 28-31, 2013). It is our great pleasure to welcome you to submit abstracts to a symposium -- Nanoindentation and Related Materials Phenomena at Small Scales. Attached is the call for abstract document.
Please visit http://www.brown.edu/Conference/ses2013/ for important dates, abstract submission, and conference registration information.

Postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the area of materials joining and associated science and technology. The research emphases are expected to focus on computational modeling of welding phenomena including heat transfer, stress and distortion, and non-equilibrium phase transformation/microstructure evolution. The successful applicant should have a strong background and interest in materials joining with demonstrated capability of innovative and independent research.
Applications and nominations are invited for the position of Professor and Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), College of Engineering (http://www.engr.utk.edu/mse/). A detailed Announcement is enclosed.
We show that it is possible to distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous dislocation nucleation on the basis of differences in experimentally measured theoretical strengths. From nanoindentation tests, the critical shear stress for dislocation nucleation in two different Mo-alloy single crystals (Mo-3Nb and Mo-10Al-4Ni) is found to be ~1/8 of the shear modulus. The corresponding stress in uniaxially compressed Mo-10Al-4Ni micropillars is ~1/26 of the shear modulus.

Mechanics has been playing a critical role in understanding the fabrication and reliability of nanostructured material systems, such as the self-assembly of quantum dots during heteroepitaxial thin film growth. Sponsored by the Elasticity Committee of Applied Mechanics Division, this symposium will identify opportunities and challenges in mechanics of materials that are motivated from a variety of novel and emerging nanofabrication and nanostructure growth methods. Presentations in experimental, theoretical, and computational studies are solicited in the following areas (but not limited to):
