ASME Materials Division award lectures and reception next Monday (Nov. 14)
Dear Colleagues,
Please see the attached invitation from the ASME Materials Division. Please note that the Award Lectures will take place at Phoenix Grand Ballroom E (NOT room 227B as in the conference program).
Looking forward to seeing you all!

PhD position in plasma facing materials at University of Alabama, Huntsville
One PhD position is currently available in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. The project aims to investigate plasma induced damage in solids. This program includes performing experimental mechanics tests, materials characterization techniques and computational materials science methods. Candidates should have a background in solid mechanics, materials science, and physics.

PhD position in soft materials mechanics at Monash University
One PhD position is currently available in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). The project aims to investigate the mechanical behaviour of hydrogels and will involve the development of novel constitutive theories as well as their implementation in a finite element code.
Candidates should have a strong background in solid mechanics, applied mathematics and programming.
Insert cohesive element between every two elements
Hello everyone
I am wondering how to insert the cohesive element between every two solid elements in Abaqus, such that each element can separate with others? Is there a tool can do this and generate Abaqus input file?
Thanks
Controlled elastic postbuckling of bilaterally constrained non-prismatic columns: application to enhanced quasi-static energy harvesters
Axially compressed bilaterally constrained columns, which can attain multiple snap-through buckling events in their elastic postbuckling response, can be used as energy concentrators and mechanical triggers to transform external quasi-static displacement input to local high-rate motions and excite vibration-based piezoelectric transducers for energy harvesting devices.
