You are all invited to attend the online workshop “Advanced modelling of membrane structures, with a view to technological application” to be held on next Monday, October 23, see the attached program with the zoom link in the front page. Note that timings are in UK time.

Dear Colleagues,  We cordially invite you to attend the annual meeting of the Technical Committee on Composites and Heterogeneous Materials, at ASME IMECE 2023, New Orleans. The details are as below:

Date: Monday, October 30 2023
Time: 6:00 - 7:00 PM
Room: 383 (at the convention center)

Nomination deadline extended to October 18, 2023. For this year, the travel awards are not limited to students at institutions in the USA. 

The Applied Mechanics Executive Committee (AMD-EC) is pleased to announce the 2023 IMECE student travel award competition, which is sponsored by the Haythornthwaite Foundation*.

The workshop is approaching. This is to remind you that those of you or of your colleagues, who would be interested in the latest enhancement of the FKM Guideline for static and fatigue analysis in the direction of non-linear analysis (encompassing both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue regimes), should apply to the workshop we organize.

Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2023 - FKM-Guideline Non-Linear

Location: Prague, Czechia

When: October 30 - November 1, 2023

From October 30 to November 1, 2023, we hold 11th Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis in Prague, Czechia. This time, we chose the attractive topic of the latest extension of the FKM-Guideline for Analytical Strength Assessment. This guideline developed for years by FKM Association in Germany provides clear description how to deal with static and fatigue analysis of industrial components.

I wanted to call your attention to a session "Beyond Elasticity: Inelastic Deformations in Soft Matter" at the American Physical Society 2024 March meeting in Minneapolis, USA. Full description below. Please also forward to colleagues conducting research in similar areas.

---------------------------------------

We are organizing a Focus Topic "Statistical Physics in Constitutive Modeling" for the upcoming 2024 March Meeting of the American Physical Society (https://march.aps.org/). Please consider contributing an abstract once submissions open on August 31, and find the description below. This will be a exciting opportunity to connect with fellow reseachers in this area and discuss recent work. Questions to mrbuche@sandia.gov.

Dear colleagues,

We, the AMD IiSS Technical Committee organizers, are pleased to continue our long-standing tradition of arranging a symposium on "Instabilities in Solids and Structures" at the annual ASME-International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE).  The Congress this year will be held in New Orleans, LA during the period of October 29-November 2, 2023.

Johns Hopkins University’s Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), in collaboration with the Materials Science in Extreme Environments (MSEE) University Research Alliance, will host a workshop and short course on impact research experiments on July 17-21, 2023. The emphasis of the event will be on impact research experiments performed using gas guns, powder guns, and electromagnetic launchers.

International Conference on Composites: Design, Processing, Manufacturing and Health Monitoring (CDPMHM 2024), will be organized at IIT Mandi (Himachal Pradesh, India) during 20-21 June 2024.

We encourage you to contribute an abstract to the minisymposium "Mechanics of Granular Media: Experiments, Theory, and Modeling" (Minisymposium 2-1) at the 2023 SES Annual Technical Meeting to be held in Minneapolis, MN, October 8-11, 2023. The minisymposium description may be found below. For further details and to submit an abstract, please see the meeting website.

The abstract submission deadline is May 5, 2023.

It would be great to see you there!

Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the upcoming symposium, "Mechanics of Electrochemical Systems" (Symposium 10-12), which will take place at the 2023 SES Conference. This symposium offers an great opportunity to connect with leading researchers in the field of electro-chemo-mechanics.

TL;DR: Back on MIT campus, in person, with technical lectures, group work, interactive labs and clinics, networking sessions, and participant talks! Materials design has endless applications in countless industries, and its impact is growing especially at the nexus of creating more sustainable, functional and efficient materials platforms. MIT Predictive Multiscale Materials Design short course will be held during the week of June 12-16, 2023, at MIT. Participants will earn an official MIT certificate.  

A newly launched journal is calling for papers in the field of intelligent construction. The Editors-in-Chief are Prof. Peng Lin from Tsinghua University and Dr. Jinsheng Jia from China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research.

Morphing matter includes biological and engineering materials and structures with dynamic and tunable properties such as shape, color, stiffness, texture, and density. Examples include pinecones that open when dried and close when wet, octopus that camouflages by changing body shapes, textures and colors, food that changes shapes during cooking, and smart windows that dynamically tune color and surface roughness.
