The 48th Annual Technical Meeting of Society of Engineering Sciences will be held October 12-14, 2011 at Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. The meeting will have 43 symposia covering a wide range of topics in engineering sciences. To learn more about the conference and submit an abstract, please check the conference webpage www.ses2011.org.
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 system (such as cells).
The GRC on Adhesion
Science will be held from July 24-29, 2011, at Bates College, Lewiston,
Maine, USA. TThe goal of this conference is to encourage communication
and discussion of ideas and new unpublished resutls at the very frontier
of adhesion science, by bringing together outstanding internation
scientists from academia, industry and government, while striving to
expand traditional adhesion science into new directions such as cell
adhesion, bio-inpsired adhesives and soft matter physics and
mechanics. The GRC offer an exciting opportunity for young
investigators to get involved at the frontier of science. Attendees
will not only be able to discuss the progress of unpublished research
Original research papers, for oral or poster presentation, are invited for the following areas:

Dear iMechanica Readers,
Greetings from Oak Ridge.
I would like to invite you, your colleagues and students to attend the annual Educational Symposium organized by the Oak Ridge Chapter of ASM International. The theme for this year’s symposium is:
“Innovations in Mechanical Testing: From Molecules to Large Engineering Structures”
We have an outstanding list of speakers, which includes:
Ian Robertson (NSF) - "In situ TEM testing" (Keynote Speaker)
The deadline for abstract submission for the 32, 10th April 2011, is approaching. The title of the 32nd Risø International Symposium on Materials Science is "Composite materials for structural performance: towards higher limits". The Symposium will be held from Monday 5th September to Friday 9th September 2011 at Risoe DTU - National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark. We think this is an exciting Symposium theme and we are proud to present a great list of key-note presentations:
