Invited session on New Approaches for Localization Problems
We are organizing a session on New Approaches for Localization Problems
at the XV. International Conference on Computational Plasticity - Fundamentals and Applications (COMPLAS) in Barcelona, Spain, on 3-5 September 2019.
Among others, we welcome abstracts on the following topics
- Gradient enhanced and phase field models for localization phenomena of plasticity, damage and fracture
- Peridynamics approaches for localization
- Innovative numerical techniques to treat localization problems
Society of Engineering Science Seeks Nomination for Board Members
Dear members of the Society of Engineering Science (SES):

Dear Colleagues:
vacancies for postdoctoral researchers in computational mechanics of materials
The computational mechanics of materials group at the University of Padua, Italy, is searching for three postdocs to conduct research in the area of multiscale materials modeling. The research work aims at building a model to study contact friction and lubrication of metal rough surfaces. The project is funded by the European community (ERC grant).
Candidates should have experience with programming and be familiar with one or more modeling techniques. Preference will go to applicants with experience in dislocation dynamics or molecular dynamics simulations.
