The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at NJIT will be hosting a special webinar by Professor David Steigmann on March 17th, 12:30-1:30 pm (EST). Please see the attached flyer for more information about the webinar. The webex link to the meeting is below. All are welcome to join.

Jie Yin of North Carolina State University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.

It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

Yonggang Huang, a professor in Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering, has been elected to the 2020 class of National Academy of Science (NAS) members. 

Prof. Huang is one of 120 new members and 26 foreign members elected in this year’s class. NAS Members are chosen in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research 

Northwestern Professor and solid mechanician Yonggang Huang is among the 276 new members elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 2020. He joins the assembly that was founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock, and others who believed the new republic should honor exceptionally accomplished individuals and engage them in advancing the public good.

More often than not I find in the books I read the information about the von Mises yield cirterion without mentioning any contribution of Maksymilian Tytus Huber in this field. E. g. I'm reading now "Materials for Nuclear Plants" by Wolfgang Hoffelner. When discussing the yielding conditions of the material he refers to von Mises, Hencky and even to Maxwell, but does not mention Huber. M. T. Huber anticipated to some extent the criterion of Mises already in 1904 (von Mises published his paper in 1913), but is not recognized by most of mechanicians.

Professor Yonggang Huang of Northwestern University will receive the 2019 Theodore von Karman Medal from ASCE. The Theodore von Karman Medal recognizes distinguished achievement in engineering mechanics, applicable to any branch of civil engineering.
