Damage Mechanic Challenge

The purpose of the conference is to gather computational scientist and experimentalist to define and launch a numerical challenge to predict damage evolution and signatures of failure in brittle material.  At the workshop, participants are invited to

(1) present their computational approach for numerical simulation of damage; 

A position for a post-doctoral researcher is available in the Microstructure Testing and Analysis Laboratory, School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. The individual appointed to the position will be responsible for research on failure of trabecular bone. A strong background in solid mechanics is desired, with knowledge of numerical simulation. Interest and willingness to participate in an interdisciplinary research team is essential. The position is available for a start Sept. 1, 2016.

The 52th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be held at Texas A&M University, October 26 - 28, 2015. For this occasion we are organizing a symposium on architectured materials.  This symposium will cover research on the structure, mechanics, design, fabrication and mechanical performance of all categories of architectured materials including but not limited to lattice materials, metamaterials, topologically interlocked materials and bio-inspired materials.
