Dear Colleague:

Oral abstract submission is now closed for the Workshop on Probing the Limits of Strength; however, the deadlines for poster abstract submission (200 words or less to berkeleyworkshop09@gmail.com) and advance registration have been extended to the end of July. See the Workshop's website for further details: http://www.mse.berkeley.edu/groups/aminor/09_Workshop/Workshop_Announcement.html. The Workshop's program and the registration form can be downloaded from that website.

This Workshop brings together researchers with an interest in experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental limits of strength in materials. The workshop includes a strong lineup of national and international speakers on advanced mechanical testing techniques and computational materials science of materials deformation at the elastic limit.

Sincereley,

Organizers of the Workshop on Probing the Limits of Strength
