In an effort to increase the participation of women and underrepresented groups in the EMI 2018 conference, the National Science Foundation will provide a number of travel assistantships to postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty members from those groups.
Eligibility
High or low temperature testing is made feasible by adding an environmental chamber to a universal testing machine (UTM). Environmental chambers come with their own temperature controller and, depending on the system’s compatibility, the temperature settings and recordings may be controlled with the UTM’s controller or software.
If you are teaching a course on vehicle dynamics, navigation, robotics, or rotations you might be interested in exploiting the fact that your students' smartphones are equipped with inertial navigation units (IMUs). Daniel Kawano and Prithvi Akella have harnessed the data from the IMU using the Matlab mobile app and used this data to determine the motion of a smart phone:
Open positions at UNFoLD in 2018, the group of Professor Karen Mulleners at EPFL (Switzerland):
The unsteady flow diagnostics laboratory (UNFoLD) at the Swiss federal institute of technology of Lausanne (EPFL) invites applications by highly motivated candidates for doctoral and post-doctoral positions in the field of unsteady aerodynamics
You are invited to submit your research to the twelfth International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials, which will be held in scenic Cape Cod at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 16-21 September 2018. It will bring together delegates from around the world to discuss how to characterize, predict, and analyze the fatigue damage of structural materials.
Dear all,
Dear all,
Full text of our paper describing a model for phase change materials in concrete used to mitigate thermally induced cracking is now available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308433229_Use_of_phase_change_…

Two mathematicians prove that under certain extreme conditions, the Navier-Stokes equations output nonsense.

A PhD studentship is available at the University of Southampton as part of a collaboration with MatchID NV. It consists at exploring new heterogeneous test configurations for composites and elastomers, based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and the Virtual Fields Method (VFM). The overarching goal is to propose new standard tests relying on heterogeneous states of strain and stress for cheaper and more robust material testing.
I’m very happy to inform you, that among others, Markus Stricker and me are Symposium-Organizers of the Materials Science and Engineering Congress 2018 (MSE) and would like to invite you to submit your abstract to the symposiums:
MD05: Plasticity Across the Scales - From Microstructure Changes to Bulk Mechanical Behavior
