Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming 2017 APS March Meeting will take place in New Orleans, LA during March 13-17, 2017. Here, we would like to invite you to contribute to a focus session called “Physics of Bioinspired Materials” as below.
2.1.12: Physics of Bio-Inspired Materials (GSOFT, DBIO) [same as 4.1.30]
Any one studying the "piezoionic" effect? What's the mechanism of such an effect? What are the principal influencing factors?
A multiphase field model is developed to study the effects of metastable ζ and γ hydrides on the nucleation and growth of the stable δ hydrides in α zirconium matrix. Acta Materialia 123 (2017) 235-244
Almost three years also , I posted an entry titled Scalar Done Wrong. The entry has received a large number of comments, and 16,793 reads. I have since tried to get scalars right. I have just attached today’s version of my notes as a PDF file to the original entry.
Position Description:
A research scientist/postdoctoral associate position in the area of synthesis and characterization of 2D materials and nanocomposites is available at Rice University. The successful candidates will work in a highly inter-disciplinary and stimulating environment.

1. Experimental Structural Mechanics
2. Control and Flight Mechanics of Aerospace vehicles
3. Aircraft Design
4. Experimental Studies on External Flows
5. Aerodynamics of Aircraft (wing-body configurations,reentryvehicles)
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the Shock & Blast session under track 1 'Dynamic Behavior of Materials'. This symposium is part of the 2017 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and applied Mechanics to be held at Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, USA, June 12-15, 2017.
The classical problem of a cable under axial load has been revisited by Weiguo Wu and Xin Cao: Mechanics model and its equation of wire rope based on elastic thin rod theory, International Journal of Solids and Structures, in press, 9 pages. On line 22 october 2016 at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020768316303122 .
Model is applied to a multistrand ccable given in a book by Costello (1990). Axial stiffness results compare very well.
