Society of Engineering Science (SES) Annual Conference 2021

Submitted by Shailendra on

We are happy to announce the 2021 SES Meeting to be held in October. This year’s SES Meeting is an exciting departure from conventional virtual conferences. It will be organized as a Virtual Month (https://socengsci.org/ses-virtual-month/) spread over five days (October 1, 5, 15, 19, and 29). Each day will be a theme, which includes a fishbowl event, presentation, and poster session. A fishbowl is similar to a panel discussion, but with more interaction and informality.

Large deformations in a hyperelastic incompressible material

Submitted by Olumide on

Dear all,

I am a somewhat of a beginner. I only started self-studying continuum mechanics and finite element analysis last year. Nonetheless, I hope to solve a problem characterized by large deformations in a hyperelastic incompressible material, with the possibility of contact. 

Experimental insights into magneto-mechanical rate dependences in MREs

Submitted by Daniel Garcia-… on

Comprehensive experimental work on magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) just accepted in Composites Part B as part of our European Research Council project 4D-BIOMAP.

We provide more than 600 magneto-mechanical tests on an extremely soft elastomer (~1-20 kPa). The results show material stiffening of ~200 times for axial compression and ~10 times for shear mode. In addition, we conduct novel experiments providing unprecedented magneto-mechanical rate-dependent couplings.
