CMBE2024 | George Mason University, Arlington, USA (24 - 26 June 2024) | First Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce that the 8th International Conference on Computational and Mathematical Biomedical Engineering (CMBE24) will take place between 24th and 26th June 2024 at the Van Metre Hall, George Mason University, Arlington, Virginia, United States. Further details on the conference may be obtained by following the link: http://www.compbiomed.net/.
Important dates:
Fully funded PhD positions in Soft Robotics in Stuttgart, Germany available from September 2023
I am looking for PhD students for my newly founded research group "Soft Robotics for Autonomous Systems" at the University of Stuttgart. The positions are fully funded and include German social security and health care benefits. More information can be found in the attached pdf.
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Regularized Failure Models for Quasibrittle Materials, Czech Technical University in Prague
My colleague Milan Jirásek is opening a two-year postdoctoral position in developing new regularized models for predicting and understanding failure processes under general conditions.
Future Faculty Symposium in SES conference
The inaugural Future Faculty Symposium (FFS) will be part of the 60th Society of Engineering Science Annual Conference (SES 2023) at the University of Minnesota in October, please see attached flyer. The goal is to provide a venue for senior PhDs/Postdocs to showcase their reserach and facilitate recruiting dynamics.
Action principles for dissipative, non-holonomic Newtonian mechanics
A methodology for deriving dual variational principles for the classical Newtonian mechanics of mass points in the presence of applied forces, interaction forces, and constraints, all with a general dependence on particle velocities and positions, is presented. Methods for incorporating constraints are critically assessed. General theory, as well as explicitly worked out variational principles for a dissipative system (Lorenz) and a system with anholonomic constraints (Pars) are demonstrated. Conditions under which a (family of) dual Hamiltonian flows, as well as constants of motion, may be associated with a dissipative, and possibly constrained, primal system are specified.
57th meeting of the Society for Natural Philosophy, Paris, France
Dear Fellow Mechanicians,
We are excited to announce that the Society for Natural Philosophy, originally founded by Clifford Truesdell in 1963, will hold its annual meeting in Paris from October 16 to 18, 2023. The Society is devoted to the unity of the mathematical and physical sciences, and this year's conference will particularly focus on the following topics:
Strain stiffening retards growth instability in residually stressed biological tissues
Soft biological tissues often exhibit notable strain stiffening under increasing stretch, and this can have significant effects on tissue growth and morphological development, such as causing symmetry breaking in growing airways and leading to mucosal folding and airway hyperresponsiveness. To investigate the role of strain stiffening and the multifactorial control in growth and remodeling, we consider a growing tubular structure with strain-stiffening effects caused by increased and tightened collagen.
