On behalf of the Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM) Executive Board (EB) and the MMM International Advisory Board (IAB) we are delighted to announce the establishment of two new distinguished awards for the multiscale materials modeling community, which will be offered every two years in conjunction with the MMM conference series, to honor those who made notable contributions to the field of multiscale materials modeling.

We are excited to announce the availability of numerous travel awards to attend the "10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling", to be held in person at at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel, in Baltimore, MD USA from October 2-7, 2022.

With more than 700 abstracts submitted we are expecting a vibrant and interactive conference. As such, and through funding from a number of funding agencies including (NSF, ONR, AFOSR, etc) we will be able to offer a number of travel awards for students, postdocs, and early career scientists/faculty.

From August 29 to September 2, the course "MECHANICS OF SMART AND BIO-HYBRID GELS: EXPERIMENTS, THEORY, NUMERICAL SIMULATION" will be held at CISM, Italy. The course is offered in a hybrid format giving the possibility to attend the course also by remote (on Microsoft Teams platform).

INRIA Grenoble, France offer a 24 months post-doc position on numerical methods for gravitational flows in mountain with a coupling DEM and MPM.

Best regards,

Dear iMechanicians - I hope that the following work is of interest. We oresent the first electro-chemo-mechanical model capable of predicting both hydrogen embrittlement and anodic-dissolution driven stress corrosion cracking. In this way, environmentally assisted cracking predictions can be obtained for any choice of environment and without any 'a priori' decision on the governing mechanism. This allows us to simulate for the first time seminal experiments, such as those by Ghrul on Al alloys.

I presented my new theory of QM yesterday.

Just that.

Best,

Most 4D printings utilize 1D structural deformation — bending and coiling to morph a flat shape by controlling only a single curvature, limiting the realization of complex 3D curved surfaces with two curvatures. We quantitatively analyze the morphing of a 2D plate into doubly curved surfaces on a direct 4D printing of a single isotropic material employing anisotropy of shape memory effect during the extrusion-based printing.
