Abstract submission for the Society of Engineering Science annual conference is now open:
https://ses2019.wustl.edu/track-symposia/abstracts/
The deadline to submit is April 30th, 2019. Please consider subitting to our symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Soft Materials. A full description is given below.
Colleagues:
The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at Washington University in St. Louis on October 13-15, 2019. As part of this meeting we are organizing Symposium 7.4 on “Mechanics of Electrochemically Active Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30
Equation of state models (Mie-Gruneisen equation of state etc) have been widely used to study hydrodynamic response of material during explosive deformation, ballistic impacts for a long time. As far as I understand, a hydrodynamic response is required to be incorporated in a model if the pressure of impact leads to an increase volumetric strength. That is the stress wave speed in the material exceeds the speed of sound in the material (v = sqrt(elastic modulus/density)). Ballistic impacts occur at strain rates close to 10^9 to 10^12/s.

Who Should Attend
Dear colleague,
the abstract submission deadline for
CIVIL-COMP 2019
The Sixteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing
16-19 September 2019 Riva Del Garda Congress Centre, Lake Garda, Italy
http://www.civil-compconf.com/
is extended to 6th May 2019.
The day before the SEM Conference this June in Reno, Nevada, USA, we will be teaching a short course entitled Residual Stress 101: https://sem.org/annualprogram. See below for a description of the course. We will cover lots of practical material on residual stresses, much of which is not covered in standard engineering curricula. This is great material for any interested researcher who never got a comprehensive background in residual stress. It will also be great for graduate students or advanced undergrads, and students pay half price.
A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.
The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.
The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.
We have one or more postdoc positions available, to be filled immediately, in my research group. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics. Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on the development and validation of multiscale models for energetic/porous/polycrystalline materials across length scales. More details will be provided to interested candidates.
A PhD Scholarship available in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
