The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, invites you to join us from July 27th to 29th, 2020, for a virtual Symposium on Experimental Solid Mechanics.
The symposium is being organized in honor of Prof K R Yogendra Simha, who has worked extensively in the areas of fracture mechanics, impact mechanics and photoelasticity, and has taught and mentored generations of mechanical engineers.
One Ph.D. position in the field of design and mechanics of additively manufactured lattice structures is available in my group in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. This position is in the support of the 2020 NSF CAREER Award (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1943465&HistoricalAwards=false)
EML Webinar on July 15, 2020 will be given by Professors Basile Audoly (École Polytechnique) / Eitan Grinspun (University of Toronto) / Pedro M. Reis (EPFL) via Zoom meeting. Discussion leader: Professor John Maddocks, EPFL

We have a number of seats available to anyone interested. We just ask attendees to register at this page:
I would like to share an article that was recently published in CMAME.
It is about MicroStructPy, a very flexible microstructure generator able to represent various statistics for microstructures with multiple phases. It works in 2D and 3D and you can provide, for each phase, grain size distributions, volume fraction, elongation and orientation distribution for elongated grains, etc.
