Colleagues,

The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis on September 28-30, 2020. As part of this meeting we are organizing a symposium in Track 5: Frontiers in Mechanics of Materials with a minisymposium title of “Mechanics Of Electrochemically Active and Ferroelastic Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is March 17th. We encourage you to submit an abstract or to forward to any interested parties, e.g., your students or colleagues.

Abstract

Dear iMechanicians,

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.9b01983

Beta-sheet protein structures and domains are widely found in biological materials such as silk. These assemblies play amajor role in the extraordinary strength and unique properties of biomaterials.  In our new work, we employ simple Langevin-based models to investigate the behavior and the collapse of these structures.

This is the preprint of an article that will appear in Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2020.112946).
