2022 Tribology Gordon Research Conference is on!

Submitted by carpick on

Dear Colleagues: The Gordon Research Conference on Tribology will happen this summer, from June 26 - July 1, 2022 at Bates College, Lewiston ME. This is the premier meeting in tribology, and an exciting, interdisciplinary program has been formulated. A pre-conference Gordon Research Seminar for young researchers will be held on June 25-26 at the same site.

10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling - Symposium on Architected Materials

Submitted by Stavros Gaitanaros on

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the Symposium 15 "Modeling and Design of Architected Materials" at the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling that will take place in Baltimore in October 2-7, 2022.

The deadline for abstract submission is April 30.

This symposium will discuss the latest advances in computational design and modeling of architected materials.

Fretting fatigue --- is there really an important effect of friction coefficient??

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

dear Colleagues

In writing a review of models on fretting fatigue, I am looking at the effect of friction coefficient.   Obviously, if friction is zero there is no fretting fatigue!   This goes without saying.

Residual short course at SEM conference

Submitted by Mike Prime on

We will be teaching a short course on residual stress on June 12, 2022 at the SEM Experimental Mechanics conference in Pittsburgh. 

See below and https://sem.org/annual (under PROGRAMS/COURSES) for details.

Residual stress short courses don't happen too often. The course should be appropriate for students, industrialists, and researchers. Hope you can make it. The proceeds all benefit SEM.

Postdoc position in Experimental Mechanics of Polymers at the University of Oxford

Submitted by Laurence Brassart on

A 3-year postdoctoral position is available in the Solid Mechanics & Materials Group at the University of Oxford to study the mechanical and degradation behaviour of biodegradable polymers using experimental methods. The postdoctoral researcher will be supervised by Associate Prof. Laurence Brassart and the project is supported by UKRI.

Discussion of fracture paper #33 - The Interaction Integral

Submitted by ESIS on

This blog concerns an interesting review of the interaction integral methodology. It deserves to be read by everyone dealing with analyses of cracks. If one's focus is on mathematical analysis or numerics is irrelevant. The review is for all of us. The review paper is, ”Interaction integral method for computation of crack parameters K–T – A review", by Hongjun Yu and Meinhard Kuna, Engineering Fracture Mechanics 249 (2021) 107722, p. 1-34.
