Dear Colleagues:
The 14th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM14) will be held at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, QC, Canada, July 17-20, 2017 (http://14.usnccm.org/).
As a part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent advances in Modeling Materials with Coupled Physics (http://14.usnccm.org/MS709). Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)
For the first time, a design of a “deflecting elastic prism” is proposed and implemented for waves in a chiral medium. A novel model of an elastic lattice connected to a non-uniform system of gyroscopic spinners is designed to create a unidirectional wave pattern, which can be diverted by modifying the arrangement of the spinners within the medium.
The PIMM lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work in a joint project with CNES (French space agency), on the design of architectured materials through additive manufacturing.
Spend a week at MIT and earn a MIT certificate. A great opportunity for postdocs and graduate students. Limited number of fellowships available.
June 12-16, 2017

SABIC is looking for talented candidates to join the Technology Internship Program in Mount Vernon, Indiana for summer 2017 assignments. Program participants will gain meaningful work experience and get a close look at possible careers in industrial R&D. Typical assignments include process technology development, lab polymer syntheses, new polymer resins/blends research and characterization of intermediates and final products.
Requirements • Junior and senior level undergraduates with graduate school plans and current graduate students are preferred.
This paper is concerned with the ratcheting prediction for steels. The yield surface evolution is integratedin the elastoplasticity analysis by a new proposed model. First, the new proposed model of DistortionalYield Surface (DYS) is developed and then ratcheting under different uniaxial and multiaxial cyclicloadings is investigated. The capabilities of the DYS model is assessed by using the results of variousstress-controlled and strain-controlled tests under uniaxial loading condition and the cyclic uniaxial experimentalresults of Hassan and Kyriakides (1994a).
