Dear Colleagues,

The organization of the Solvay Workshop: "Mechanics of Slender Strucures in Physics, Biology and Engineering: From failure to functionality" (27-29 August, 2018, ULB, Brussels, Belgium), is going well and we are excited by the substantial number of good quality submissions that we have received. 

However, following many requests, we are pleased to extend the deadline for abstract submission to: April 15, 2018.

Please note that, due to organizational reasons, further extension of the deadline will not be possible.

Does anyone know more about the causes of that collapse?

Now that we supposedly know so much about mechanics, why does a small-span bridge like that collapse?  

It it because we are optimizing prematurely based on false confidence in numerical models?

Hello and good day, 

I have completed my Master in Mechanical Eng. (GPA 3.58) from the University of Malay (QS Ranking 114), Malaysia. I have published over 18 ISI articles about convective heat transfer, Turbulent flow and Eco-friendly synthesis of nanofluids in high impact factor journals. I aim to focus on any of the following areas:   

The Artificial Organs Laboratory at the Department of Surgery of the University of Maryland Baltimore seeks highly motivated individuals for two post-doctoral research associate positions in the following areas: blood compatibility and design/development of blood contacting medical devices.
