conference

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to the 2016 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) International Congress session on “Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials”. The conference will be held in Buena Vista, FL from June 6–9, 2016. Abstracts are due October 5, 2015 via the SEM.org website.

Mechanics of Energy and Energetic Materials

Dear Colleagues

I would like to make you aware of a computational solid mechanics minisymposium being organized for the 2016 EMI-PMC conference at Vanderbilt University, May 22-25, 2016: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/emipmc2016/EMI.mini-symposia.php.

Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a symposium on “Fatigue and Fracture Under Extreme Environments” at the SEM XIII International Congress meeting which is taking place at Orlando, FL from June 6-9, 2016.

This symposium will focus on the following themes:

Dear Colleagues,

The upcoming APS March Meeting 2016 will take place at Baltimore, MD during March 14-18 2016. Here, we would like to invite you to contribute to a focus session called “Physics of Bioinspired Materials”.

Engineering failure analysis is a key tool for the improvement of the modern innovation cycle now demands that component design involves a whole-of-life approach, incorporating an awareness of manufacture, safety, reliability, environmental sensitivity and disposal. This has focused attention on the pivotal role of failure analysis as an essential tool to improve equipment availability, help prevent accidents and disasters and to inform the processes of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of key plant and equipment.

We're running a workshop at the 13th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering (CMBBE) in Montreal, Canada.

Date: Thursday, September 3rd 2015
Time: 3.25pm-5.30pm
Presenter: Tom Spirka (PhD)

The workshop allows attendees to learn about the many capabilities in our software for generating models from 3D image data (such as MRI and CT) for biomechanics and biomedical engineering. It will cover topics such as:
