1. Introduction
Colleagues,
The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis on September 28-30, 2020. As part of this meeting we are organizing a symposium in Track 5: Frontiers in Mechanics of Materials with a minisymposium title of “Mechanics Of Electrochemically Active and Ferroelastic Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is March 17th. We encourage you to submit an abstract or to forward to any interested parties, e.g., your students or colleagues.
We have discovered a peculiar form of fracture that occurs in a highly stretchable silicone elastomer (Smooth-On Ecoflex 00–30). Under certain conditions, cracks propagate in a direction perpendicular to the initial pre-cut and in the direction of the applied load. In other words, the crack deviates from the standard trajectory and instead propagates perpendicular to that trajectory. The crack arrests stably, and thus the material ahead of the crack front continues to sustain load, thereby enabling enormous stretchabilities. We call this phenomenon 'sideways' and stable cracking.
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
Owing to their enormous capacities, Li-S batteries have emerged as a prime candidate for economic and sustainable energy storage. Still, potential mechanics-based issues exist that must be addressed: lithiation of sulfur produces an enormous volume expansion (~80%). In other high capacity electrodes, large expansions generate considerable stresses that can lead to mechanical damage and capacity fading.
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, and it offers a diagnostic interface rich with vital biological signals from the inner organs, blood vessels, muscles, and dermis/epidermis. Soft, flexible, and stretchable electronic devices provide a novel platform to interface with soft tissues for robotic feedback and control, regenerative medicine, and continuous health monitoring.
