Dear Colleagues,

The 18th USNC/TAM will be hosted by Northwestern University, at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare from June 5 to June 9, 2018. The abstract submission deadline for the USNC/TAM 2018 is extended to November 25, 2017.

The Symposium 324 is about the Mechanics of Irradiated Structural Materials, as introduced at http://sites.northwestern.edu/usnctam2018/324-symposium-28-mechanics-of-irradiated-structural-materials/

Professor Kurkarni (University of Houston) has published a very nice perspective paper "Thermal Fluctuations as a Computational Microscope for Studying Crystalline Interfaces: A Mechanistic Perspective," in the December, 2017 issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM).  The paper is attached.

The perspective papers in JAM are invited short papers on an emerging field in mechanics, or some important new developments in an existing field in mechanics.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium #341 “Mechanics of Heterogeneous Soft Materials on Flexible Structures” at the 18th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM).

The conference this year is hosted by Northwestern University and will be held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago from June 4 to June 9, 2018.

Dear Colleague, We would like to bring your last attention and invite you and your students/postdoc to submit abstracts for oral presentations to Symposium 356 on “Mechanics and Design of Mechanical Metamaterials” under the umbrella of “Phononics And Metamaterials” at the 18^th U.S.

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Research Associate in the Department of Engineering, to work on the mechanics of failure of adhesive joints. The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Photo-chromic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) is a type of smart materials which are sensitive to light. Here we harness its photo-mechanical response to flexibly control surface patterning, through modeling a film involving homeotropic nematic liquid crystals with director perpendicular to the polymer film attached on a compliant substrate. Theoretical and numerical analyses were conducted to explore the surface instability of such film/substrate systems under both uniform and non-uniform illuminations by ultraviolet (UV) light, respectively.
