Dear Colleagues:
Happy New Year!
The 17th U. S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics that will be held June 15-20, 2014 at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. (http://www.usnctam2014.org/)
Equilibrium theories for a continuum body may be formulated by either of the
following the classic paradigms: (1) We begin with the stress postulation (Cauchy’s formulation) and write down the kinematics, conservation laws, and
constitutive relations. In this way, one can obtain a system of field equations
which, presumably, can be solved upon specifying boundary conditions and
determine the equilibrium state of the body. (2) A second way is to start from
the energy postulation (Green’s
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a track entitled "Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials" at PACAM XIII (May 22-24, 2013, Houston) (http://www.conferencetoolbox.org/PACAMXIII/CallForPapersDetail.cfm). The tentative submission deadline is Jan 15, 2013. Below is a brief description of the track.
