Extended deadline for abstract submission ESMC2015 "Micro and Nano Mechanics"
Fellow iMechanicians,
the deadline for submission for the next European Solid Mechanics Conference has been extended to the 30th November.
The conference will be the "place-to-be" next year in the Solid Mechanics community, with a truly outstanding line-up for the plenary lectures.
In particular, I am co-organizing with Nicola Pugno a mini-symposium on Micro and Nano Mechanics

Helical Strand Mechanics Modelling
Some 2014 papers on the mechanics of helical strands: cables and electrical conductors
Converged, but to the right solution??
Hello eveybody,
I am confused in using numerical schemes: What can convergence of a numerical scheme tell us and what not??? lets assume that a numerical scheme does converge to "A result" or "A number", but how could we be sure that the scheme has actually converged to the "RIGHT solution" and not a WRONG one??
Any input is appreciated!

von Mises or Equivalent stress for Beam Elements
Are there analytical expressions for computing von Mises or equivalent stress at any point for Beam elements similar to the ones in continuum elements? I would like to design a structure with beam elements and ensure that the equivalent stress is within bounds (yield stress etc) for the structure to be safe.

Symposium at 2015 Mach Conference
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a symposium titled "To Yield or Not to Yield: Multiscale Perspectives in Plasticity and Failure of Materials" at the 2015 Mach conference, which will be held in Annapolis, MD, USA during April 8-10, 2015. We cordially invite you to participate in the 2015 Mach Conference by giving a talk in our symposium.
