In the aerospace industry, testing is critical in successful product development and implementation. Mechanical testing of materials and products used in aerospace applications is governed by strict standards and often require accreditation. The type of testing performed includes tensile, compressive, flexural, fatigue testing, and more.
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS403) "Multiscale Modeling in Bio-Mechanical Systems" for Finite Elements in Fluids 2019 (FEF-2019)
Date & Location:
March 31-April 3, 2019, Chicago, IL
Huilong Hou, Peter Finkel, Margo Staruch, Jun Cui & Ichiro Takeuchi, Ultra-low-field magneto-elastocaloric cooling in a multiferroic composite device, Nature Communications 9(1): 4075, (2018).
Two PhD positions are open for Spring 2019 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language (preferably C++) is a plus.

1. Introduction
https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201800253 In celebration of Stern Family Professor of Engineering David L. Kaplan, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, we review a selection of relevant contributions of computational modeling to understand the properties of natural silk, and to the design of silk-based materials, especially combined with experimental methods.
In 2019, Elsevier CAGD will be publishing a special issue on ``Generalized Barycentric Coordinates,'' edited by Michael S. Floater (University of Oslo), Kai Hormann (University of Lugano), and myself.
If you expect to have any new contribution in this area, then please do consider submitting a paper to this special issue.
All the details about the special issue can be found in the attached ``Call for Papers.''
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
-suku.
