Second Reminder: EML Special Issue on 3D Assembly by Cutting, Bending and Folding
Special Issue on 3D Assembly by Cutting, Bending and Folding in Extreme Mechanics Letters
When patterned with different materials, gradients or cut-outs, thin structures such as sheets and rods can bend or fold either spontaneously or by actuation in response to a force or stimulus to form a pre-designed three dimensional structure. This special issue addresses the design and mechanics of these structures with a special emphasis on programmability and non-linearity.

Multiple Ph.D. fellowships available at Clemson University
Multiple Ph.D. fellowships are available at Clemson University in the broad area of model validation and data analytics through a recent Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) grant. Through this grant, faculties from Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Earth Science, Mathematical Science, and Computer Science team up to work on the national need for model validation analytics in civil and environmental engineering problems.
Call for abstracts: Functional and Architectured Materials -- EMMC15 -- Brussel Sept 7-9 2016
Dear Colleagues,
15th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC15) will be held in Brussel, Belgium, during 7 – 9 Sentember, 2016. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a session (S7) to bring together experts in modelling, simulation, manufacturing and experimental investigation in the field of functional and architectured materials to present and discuss recent advances. Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)
Perspective article on the X-FEM in computational fracture
Abstract: In this paper, we provide a retrospective examination of the developments and applications of the extended finite element method (X-FEM) in computational fracture mechanics. Our main attention is placed on the modeling of cracks (strong discontinuities) for quasistatic crack growth simulations in isotropic linear elastic continua.
