Why should we investigate fracture and failure mechanics? From this Boeing 737 accident (below) to recent fatigue cracks of new Airbus  A380,  we must use failure mechanics knowledge to save our lives. Therefore, Dr.H. Eliot Fang (Program Manager at the DOE Sandia National Labs), Dr.  Larry
C. Russell (program manager at the Army Research Office) and I would invite you to submit abstracts to our symposium

The Fifth IFAC Symposium on Fractional Differentiation and Its Applications - FDA12

Adhesion has long been an important issue for mechanics and
many other disciplines. Its influence spans macro-, micro-, nano- and molecular
scales. When size goes down, adhesion plays a more and more significant role.
Many important technologies attribute to adhesion, such as transfer printing
for advanced microfabrication, super adhesives inspired by gecko foot hairs,
and self-assembly. Adhesion also has strong implications on the behavior of
nanomaterials (such as nanotubes and graphenes) and biological systems (such as
cells). This minisymposium "Mechanics of Adhesion" is to provide a
