Dear friends and colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium on Mechanics of Soft Materials. This symposium is part of 2010 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition, November 12-18, 2010 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This symposium is sponsored by the newly formed Mechanics of Soft Materials technical committee in Applied Mechanics Division of ASME.

2010 ASME INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CONGRESS & EXPOSITION
12-18 November 2010
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2010
SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT BY 1 MARCH 2010

This workshop aims
to provide in-depth description and recent advances in piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and nanoscale
electromechanics. It will introduce basic principles of PFM operation, relevant
instrumental aspects, and image interpretation. The theory of cantilever
dynamics, PFM contact mechanics, resolution theory, and their implications for
qualitative and quantitative data interpretation will be presented. The recent
technical advances, including vector PFM, high-frequency PFM, band-excitation
and DRFT imaging, switching spectroscopy PFM, and imaging and polarization
switching in liquids and vacuum, will also be illustrated. For ferroelectric
and multiferroic materials, applications of PFM for domain imaging, nucleation

The Nanobrücken Nanomechanical Testing Workshop, Feb 24-26, 2010 at INM Saarbrücken in Germany, aims to bring together researchers from the international nanomechanical community in a forum that highlights both techniques and applications. The workshop features an outstanding lineup of keynote and invited speakers. We cordially invite you to attend and encourage you to participate with a contributed oral or poster presentation.

Dear Colleague,

The Sixth M.I.T. Conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics will be held in June 2011 at M.I.T.
The theme of the Conference is "Solids & Structures", and the topic is interpreted in a very broad way.

The Abstracts for full papers to be published in Computers & Structures are due January 31, 2010.
please see http://www.sixthmitconference.org

The newly founded National Hypersonic Science Center -- Materials and Structures is to organize a minisymposium in this year's WCCM (2010) on VirtualTesting for Hybrid Hierarchical Materials for High TemperatureApplications. Please see the attachment for paper solicitation. We will greatly appreciate your consideration of submitting a paper to our symposium (minisymposium No. MS5041) 

Dear Collegue

We are organising in July 7-9, 2010 an Euromech workshop on Multiscale
effects in Fatigue, at the Ecole Polytechnique, near Paris in France.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS TO HOST AN

IUTAM SYMPOSIUM

or

 INSTRUCTIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL

in 2012 or 2013

Proposals are to be submitted to:

The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.

Message from ICCE Chairman

Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region and Australasian Structural Engineering Conference 2010

The 5th International Civil Engineering Conference (CECAR5) hosted by Engineers Australia, together with the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference (ASEC 2010) will bring together a broad cross-section of the civil and structural engineering professions who want to learn, network and advance their technical skills.

This workshop is being organized under the auspices of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM).

Topics of interest include: Microactuators, Microsensors, Micro-opto-mechanical devices, Mechanical Tools for cell and tissue studies, Micromanipulation, Micro-assembly, Microscale flight and swimming, Surgical tools, Micro-robotics, Micro-scale power generation, and Miniature manufacturing machines.

Please consult the Call for Papers (attached) for further details.
