As I conclude this year's undergraduate course Introduction to Materials Science, I have collected some interesting reading/watching materials for my class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GhuaP9K1fDXuHe8TcI5dmjJvnakDLKPOQNKGoNW-AXk/edit?usp=sharing
Most of them are publicly available. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Dear Colleagues,
It gives us great pleasure to announce 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/ ).
Dear All,
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad, India is organizing the 4th Structural Integrity Conference and Exhibition, SICE-2022, from 14th-16th December 2022. Here are the details about the conference:
Our group at Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is looking for a postdoctoral research associate to work on Process Modeling for Polymer Composites Manufacturing. More details on the job posting are available at this link. Interested candidates should apply directly using that link.
A Postdoctoral opening is available in the area of toughening of thermoplastic adhesive tapes at Mechanica of Composites for Energy and Mobility lab at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
Performance of secondary bonding or adhesive systems is a key challenges for the successful integration of composite. MCEM has a strong experience in improving toughness and stability of adhesive joints by controlling the dissipation mechanisms, via the design of the microstructure or by introducing spatially depending adhesive properties.
In discussing with colleagues and giving lectures, it helps to keep certain basic facts in mind. Let's gather threads on such facts for polymers. I'll keep each fact basic, and each thread short.
I have tweeted several such threads.
It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2021 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.
