1. Introduction

Dear Colleagues,

The SEM 2020 annual conference abstract deadline has been extended to Monday, October 28, 2019. Please see the Call for Abstracts below and consider submitting an abstract.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit a paper to the 2020 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Annual Meeting in one of the many sessions in the Fatigue and Fracture Track. See below for further information on these sessions, and please forward this to others who may be interested.

Dear Colleagues,

Dear Colleagues,

The SEM 2019 annual conference abstract deadline has been extended to October 24, 2018. Please see the Call for Abstracts below and consider submitting an abstract.

A Postdoctoral Research Associate Position is available in Professor R. Thevamaran's laboratory at the Department of Engineering Physics to study the dynamic behavior and properties of nanostructured metals and hierarchical materials. A strong background in experimental solid mechanics and materials science is required for this research.

A PhD studentship is available at the University of Southampton as part of a collaboration with MatchID NV. It consists at exploring new heterogeneous test configurations for composites and elastomers, based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and the Virtual Fields Method (VFM). The overarching goal is to propose new standard tests relying on heterogeneous states of strain and stress for cheaper and more robust material testing.

The laboratories of Profs. Seetha Raghavan and Ranajay Ghosh at the University of Central Florida, Orlando welcomes applications for a postdoctoral scholar to commence work in Spring 2018 and a PhD student to join the group in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018 as part of a multi-year research project funded by the US Department of Energy.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to the 2018 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) International Congress session on "Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials". The conference will be held in Greenville, SC from June 4-7, 2018. Abstracts are due October 26, 2017 via the SEM.org website.

Mechanics of Large-Volume-Change Materials for Rechargeable Batteries

Shuman Xia, Georgia Institute of Technology

Advanced energy materials hold one of the keys to fundamental advances in the conversion, storage, and harvesting of energy for a broad range of consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. The successful development and deployment of these materials relies critically on a fundamental understanding of strongly coupled multiphysics phenomena.
