8th GRACM International Congress on Mechanics, Volos, Greece, 12-15 July 2015
Dear colleagues,
Τhe Greek Association of Computational Mechanics (GRACM) in association with the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Departments of the University of Thessaly will organize the 8th GRACM conference in a series of congresses in the area of computational mechanics. The conference will be held between the 12th and 15th of July 2015 in the facilities of the University of Thessaly in Volos which is the host city of most of its academic departments.
New shear lock free finite elements with arbitrary higher order derivative
A set of highly efficient and shear lock free finite elements based on Timoshenko beam and Reissner-Mindlin plate theories has been developed for the analysis of thin and thick structures. These elements have arbitrary higher order derivatives and do not require any spcial integration scheme. All are isoparametric elements.

How to apply thermal an mechanical load at the same time?
Hi guys,
I have some test results and now I need to model the test in ABAQUS to compare the model with the test results. The duration of the test was 30 minutes.
I have a simple single span girder with a mechanical and a thermal load at the same time.
The mechanical load is static and applies in the third points of the beam. From minute 1-15 the load is 2x60kN and from minute 15-30 the load is reduced to 2x15kN.

Truss Me! It’s great for learning
In a large "Mechanics of Materials" class at ETH Zurich, I incorporated an educational game, Truss Me!, into the class. It showed the potential gaming apps have in enhancing traditional teaching of mechanics.

Getting ready for Extreme Mechanics Letters
We are launching a new journal, Extreme Mechanics Letters. EML will publish letter-sized papers. We aim to achieve rapid communication. Our goal is to have the accepted papers published within 6-8 weeks upon submission. We aim to build a home at the frontier of engineering, medicine, science and entertainment, where advances are rapid and mechanics matters. We seek papers from researchers in all disciplines.
We will start to review submissions on 1 October 2014, and publish first papers by 1 December 2014. The beginning issues will be freely accessible online, and printed copies will be distributed at conferences.
We love to publish your extremely new ideas on extremely useful and extremely interesting mechanics. Please submit your papers soon.
