Dear Colleagues,
The next edition of the European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC18) will be held in Oxford, UK, on April 4-6, 2022:
www.emmc18.org
EMMC18 is organised by the Department of Engineering Science of the University of Oxford, under the auspices of the European Mechanics Society, EUROMECH. The conference will take place in the Examinations Schools, in the heart of Oxford.
We are delighted to announce the 11th European Solid Mechanics Conference that will be held at the National University of Ireland Galway, in the city of Galway, Ireland, 4 – 8 July, 2022. The conference website is: www.esmc2022.org. The conference is being held under the auspices of the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH www.euromech.org).
The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab), in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Alabama is seeking qualified candidates for an open PhD position. This position is open to US citizens only.
Ondřej Rokoš, Vlado Menkovski, and Marc Geers (all from the Eindhoven University of Technology), together with Martin Doškář (Czech Technical University in Prague), are searching for a motivated Ph.D.
The Nanoscale Mechanics and Materials Laboratory (NMML) at the University of California, Irvine is accepting applications for an open postdoctoral scholar position. The research will focus on atomistic modeling of linear complexions, or nanoscale phases stabilized by the presence of dislocations. Specific goals include the study of linear complexion nucleation and structure, as well as the impact of these complexions on subsequent dislocation plasticity. An individual with a strong background in computational materials science is sought, and a Ph.D.
In this paper, we discuss two problems concerning scattering and localisation of flexural waves in structured elastic plates. Firstly, we compare the scattering amplitudes of waves in a thin plate, generated by a point source, due to a single mass and to a large number of smaller masses, having the same equivalent mass and located around a circle. We show that in the second case, the scattering can be reduced, in particular in the medium- and high-frequency regimes.
Esteemed Colleagues,

Title of seminar: The Fatemi-Socie Multiaxial Fatigue Parameter: An Historical Perspective
dmHUB invites you to attend the Global Composites Experts Webinar Series.
Title: Control of Reaction Fronts for Rapid Energy-Efficient Manufacturing of Multifunctional Polymers and Composites
Speaker: Dr. Nancy R. Sottos
Time: 6/3, 11AM-12PM EST.

I have a few positions (funded by NSF, AFRL, and/or ARO) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) in the following two topics:
1. Elastodynamic metamaterials: Characterization of dispersive constitutive equations and simulation of the material with overall properties in the time domain (TD), analysis of the effect of disorder and material nonlinearities (e.g. fracture) in their performance, etc.
