We are pleased to announce that the 23rd International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM23) will be held in Singapore during October 2-5, 2013. The Workshop website is www.iwcmm23.org which will be continually updated over the next few weeks as the details are finalized.
The Mechanical Engineering program of the School of Dynamic Systems at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position. The position is available as early as in fall 2013. Candidates for this position should hold (by the time of employment) an earned doctoral degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering field. The successful candidate is expected to build a strong funded research program, publish in archival journals, advise graduate students, and teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical engineering.
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a track entitled "Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials" at PACAM XIII (May 22-24, 2013, Houston) (http://www.conferencetoolbox.org/PACAMXIII/CallForPapersDetail.cfm). The tentative submission deadline is Jan 15, 2013. Below is a brief description of the track.
Wom 2013 keynote speakers and their topics have been announced:
Dr Ali Erdemir
Argonne National Laboratories, USA
Innovative surface engineering strategies for mitigating wear of materials under extreme conditions
Dr Michael Moseler
FhG-IWM Freiburg, Germany
Atomistic understanding of wear in carbon tribomaterials
The Nanobiophysics laboratory (Prof. Chaieb) in collaboration with the DNA replication laboratory (Prof. Hamdan) at the division of life science and engineering at KAUST invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the two aforementioned lab although the primary position is at the Nanobophysics laboratory. The research is expected to
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the School
of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard University invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the Whitesides Group (Prof. George Whitesides) and the
Harvard Biodesign Lab (Prof. Conor Walsh). The research is expected to
involve material science and mechanics of soft materials with a focus on
developing novel materials (e.g. actively variable stiffness, flexible
composites, etc) and fabrication approaches for the next generation of

Dear All,
Why rubber and like soft materials are incompressible? I do not want any explanation in formula like, volumetric strain is zero or poissons ratio is 0.5 etc. Physically whats happening when we apply compressive load? For example take a gas, when you compress, the density will change. Is there any of the properties are changing?
Thank you,
Muthu Kumar M
