This year the Annual ASME Applied Mechanics Division Honors and Awards Banquet was held on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 in Denver Colorado. I had the pleasure of presiding over the evening and distributing the AMD Division awards, AMD Student Paper Competition awards, and AMD-Haythornthwaite Foundation Travel Awards. Below is a list of all the award recipients and I have attached a PDF with pictures of the awardees that evening.

The National Committee on Applied Mechanics of Engineers Australia is hosting the 6th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics (ACAM 6) in Perth, Australia on December 12th-15th 2010.
ACAM 6 (http://www.acam6.org/) aims to provide an international forum for researchers, industry practitioners, engineers and postgraduate scholars to promote, exchange and disseminate knowledge and experiences of the most recent results and advances in a wide range of topics in Applied Mechanics.
View the figure attached. It is about using Cam for increase
energy efficiency. Cam are generally used to open and close valve of IC
Engine. I am going to show you another use. Left side initial position.
Right side final position. Redius of cam continuously decrease.Sliding
weight (MG) applied on Cam. With the help of rope weight(MG*Cos(b)) is
fixed with cam. We consider b as 45. So cos 45=.70. This fixed weight
should be 0.70 MG. Which balance the sliding weight applied on cam in
tengential direction. As sliding weight come down the fixed weight go
up. But the twist is the redius of cam decrease nominal continuously.
So sliding weight come down little bit and fixed weight go up much
more. We consider sliding weight come dowm H2 height and fixed weight
A postdoctoral position isavailable in the research group led by Dr. Joseph A. Turner in the Departmentof Engineering Mechanics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL).
