Prof. Jun Xu, Dr. Scott Grutzik, and I organize one topic on “Dynamic failure of materials and structures” for 2019 ASME Congress. We invite you, your colleagues and group members to submit short abstracts before ASME’s deadline of Feb 25, 2019. More details below:
I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show that kinematic hardening effects play a significant role in monotonic/static fracture.

A 1 year post Doctoral position is avalaible in France, on computational fractur mechanics. This is a join project between Univ. Paris 13 (LSPM lab), and Paris 7 (ITODYS lab).
The present postdoc subject is focused on the modeling cracking and buckling in thin films and nanostructures on stretchable substrate.
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.
We invite you to submit a paper to the 2019 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.

The attached poster page has a self explanatory introduction of the Unified Mechanics Theory.
We have always modelled crack propagation under monotonic/static loading in metals assuming isotropic hardening. However, we show that anisotropic/kinematic hardening effects play a significant role due to non-proportional straining with crack advance; the isotropic hardening idealization leads to steady state fracture toughness predictions that could be 50% lower. I hope that some of you find this work interesting.

Dear Colleagues,
This is a gentle reminder that the 2018 Midwest Mechanics Workshop will take place at IIT, Chicago on Thursday, August 9. The deadline for registration is July 26, so we will have time to figure out the logistics. Note that registration is free for this one-day workshop. Please see:
We are working on a modelling problem in fracture mechanics in porous materials, and have advertised a post-doc position for someone with a computational mechanics background. We tend to work with our own FEM codes.
