Dear colleagues,
The Journal of Solid Mechanics (JSM) invites original research papers and research notes covering a broad area of mechanical engineering activities associated with the classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids, fracture, and heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, and numerical techniques and recent developments in these areas for review and consideration of possible publication.
Special issue of the "Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience," edited by Markus Buehler
The 2007 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition
November 11-16, 2007, Seattle, Washington, Sponsored by the Composites and Elasticity Committees, Applied Mechanics Division
Track 18-7 Nanoscale, Biological, Cellular and Nonlinear Materials
Deadline for submitting an abstract: 5 March 2007.
Responding to the wishes of members, the ASME Congress will change to a new format, starting this year. Sessions will not be allocated to Divisions, but will be allocated to symposiums after abstracts are reviewed. Thus, your action item is to submit an abstract to a symposium. Here are terms as used in the 2007 Congress:
Session. Technical sessions will be scheduled for four days, Monday-Thursday. Each session will last 90 minutes, and consists of 4-6 talks. There will be 23 parallell sessions at a given time, 5 time slots for sessions per day, and a total of 23x5x4 = 460 sessions for the entire congress.
Call for papers: Mahalanobis-Taguchi System Analysis. A special issue of the International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering (IJISE).
With rapid advances in technology, use of automated data collection methods is on a steep rise. Situations that call for decision-making with voluminous datasets involving several variables are being encountered in an ever-increasing number of fields. Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) analysis provides an effective decision-making methodology in such situations. It is being successfully used by engineers in companies such as Nissan, Ford, Delphi, Xerox, and Yamaha, to name but a few. This special issue invites submission of papers that could be state-of-the-art, new contributions, technical notes, review papers, or case studies in the area of Mahalanobis-Taguchi System analysis. For more information, please see the Journal Call for Papers website.
