Meet the Editors-in-Chief of Mechanics Journals at SES2016: An Open Forum

Submitted by Teng Li on

The advent of internet era has been driving some significant changes in scientific publication process. The needs for optimizing publication process, from manuscript preparation and submission, to review process and to post-publication dissemination, are ubiquitous for many disciplines. There is no exception for the mechanics field.  

To this end, we are glad to announce that SES2016 will host an open forum of “Meet the Editors-in-Chief of Mechanics Journals”, which features the following panelists:

CALL FOR ABSTRACT: SES Symposium C-4: Mechanical Characterization of Soft Materials: Experiments and Modeling

Submitted by Cai Shengqiang on

Soft materials are ubiquitous in nature, from biopolymers, cells, and tissues to organs. In recent years, soft materials have been intensively explored in different engineering applications, ranging from haptic devices to soft robotics, from flexible electronics to biomimetic systems. Fundamental studies of the deformation mechanisms of soft materials and optimal designs in different applications urgently need robust methods for material characterization.
