I would like to share another article from my group just published in CMAME. I think this is an interesting approach towards the automatic generation of constitutive laws for arbitrary microstructures:

The article focuses on how to systematically create constitutive laws using only:

1) Available microstructural models

2) Machine learning techniques

I would like to share an article that was recently published in CMAME.

It is about MicroStructPy, a very flexible microstructure generator able to represent various statistics for microstructures with multiple phases. It works in 2D and 3D and you can provide, for each phase, grain size distributions, volume fraction, elongation and orientation distribution for elongated grains, etc.

Dear colleagues, 

We invite you to submit your work at the mini-symposium "Computational Design of Multifunctional Lattice Materials" (Session ID: 608) at the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIII) in New York City from July 22-27th, 2018.

As part of the 13th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics to be held in San Diego, CA, on July 26-30 2015, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the Symposium “Advances in Computational Methods for Heterogeneous Materials”.

The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, invites nominations and applications for five tenure-track faculty positions. Applications are sought from candidates with expertise in the traditional aerospace disciplines, promising new research areas, and cross-cutting interdisciplinary fields. Areas of interest may include, but are not limited to, aerodynamics, design and manufacturing, structures and solid mechanics, and autonomy for aerospace systems.

As part of the 51st Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2014) to be held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, on October 1-3 2014, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the Symposium “Issues in computational modeling of damage, fracture and fragmentation of solid materials”.

This afternoon, I had an extremely pleasant Google hangout with Daniel Suo, and Professors Zhigang Suo and Teng Li . Our main focus was on brainstorming ideas on how to improve the user experience on iMechanica. After an hour or so our conversation drifted towards educational topics including novel ways of incorporating technology in STEM education.

I would like to share with fellow mechanicians an educational iPad app I recently developed. The name of the app is Truss Me! and the main goal is to help students, all the way from high school to college, to build intuition on how truss structures behave. The video below highlights some features of the app:

As part of the 49th Annual Technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science   (SES 2012) to be held in Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA, on 10-12 of October , 2012, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the Symposium “Computational Modeling of Damage and Fracture in Solids”.

The School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology invites nominations and applications for two faculty positions in the areas of solid mechanics, structural dynamics, and aeroelasticity.  Appointments at all ranks will be considered. While candidates in all related areas of research will be considered, candidates with a strong experimental background are particularly sought.
