Dear Colleagues,
The Programme of the Euromech Colloquium “MULTISCALE MECHANICS, MULTIPHYSICS MODELING AND SIMULATIONS FOR ENERGY STORAGE” to be held in Sirmione, Italy, 29-31 August, 2022 ( https://617.euromech.org/ ) has been finalized and is attached.
Plenary lectures will be offered by, in alphabetical order :
Improved formulas of extensional and bending stiffnesses of isotropic rectangular nanorods are derived. These formulas reduce to the existing widely used formulas for a special choice of material parameters, i.e., when the surface Poisson's ratio and the bulk Poisson's ratio match thus highlighting the limitation of the existing formulas.
Dear Colleague
Our (open access) paper on the post-touchdown dynamics of an electrostatically actuated MEMS device has just appeared in IJSS:
Nate N. Goldberg and Oliver M. O'Reilly, Electrostatically actuated MEMS in the post-touchdown regime: The thin-dielectric limit and a novel reduced-order model for release dynamics"

Dear colleagues,
We invite you to read our recent article, which proposes a multiband homogenization scheme and has been accepted to appear in JMPS (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002250962200182X)
Multiband homogenization of metamaterials in real-space: Higher-order nonlocal models and scattering at external surfaces
For students who are attending IMECE this year, there is a wonderful opportunity for you to apply for a travel award ($1000/grad, $500/under). There are a total of 50 travel awards for you to claim. You also have a possibility to win cash awards ($2000 total). You need to submit a poster abstract by 6/29. See https://event.asme.org/IMECE/Program/NSF for more details.

Profs. Michael Shields and Lori Graham-Brady at Johns Hopkins University are seeking a postdoctoral scholar for a joint collaborative program on uncertainty quantification of mechanical property predictions based on data-driven and/or machine learning models. In the short term, the focus of this project will be on developing UQ tools for Deep Neural Network models that connect image data to material properties. In the longer term this is expected to expand to a spectrum of ML and other data-driven models.
