A breakthrough in Guided Wave – Excitation of shear-horizontal (SH) wave is not a problem any longer
Excitation of non-dispersive shear-horizontal (SH) waves in plates is always a challenge. Recently, we successfully excited single-mode SH0 wave in plates using a face-shear (d24) mode piezoelectric transducer. Meanwhile, the d24 mode transducer can selectively receive SH0 wave and filter Lamb waves. This work was published as a Letter in the IOP journal Smart Materials and Structures (http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/25/11/11LT01）.

A perspective on the statistical mechanics of 2D materials
2D materials are fascinating for numerous reasons. Their geometrical and mechanical characteristics along with other associated physical properties have opened up fascinating new application avenues ranging from electronics, energy harvesting, biological systems among others. Due to the 2D nature of these materials, they are known for their unusual flexibility and the ability to sustain large curvature deformations. Further, they undergo noticeable thermal fluctuations at room temperature.
Call for Symposium Proposals
Dear Colleagues:
As you might have heard already, the 2017 SES Annual Conference will take place at Northeastern University, July 25-28, 2017.
