Deadline extended for NT2F12 congress which will be held in Transilvania University of BRASOV.

Brasov is one of the largest and most cherished cities of the country. Surrounded on three sides by mountains, it was a perfect place for a medieval settlement.

The old city, founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1211, is one of the best preserved cities in all of Europe. It was thotoughly restored to the delight of an increasing number of tourist. It is the capital city of Brasov Country, in central Romania, in Transylvania, at the foot of the  Carpathian Mountains. Brasov also makes a fabulous base for exploring the surrounding countryside where the air is clean and the people friendly.

2012 SIMULIA Community Conference
May 15-17, 2012 – Providence, Rhode Island
Join our international gathering of simulation experts

The abstract submission deadline for the EMI/PMC 2012 Conference has been extended to January 31, 2012. For details visit 
http://www.nd.edu/~emipmc12/ .

All,

    The deadline to submit article for the CSME international congress has been extended to February 17th, 2012. We are organizing a symposium on fatigue and fracture of engineering materials and strongly encourage researchers around the world to submit their research articles relevant to this field. 

More information can be obtained from the following website:  http://umanitoba.ca./engineering/conferences/csme2012/index.html

Dear Colleague:

You are cordially invited to attend Nanobrücken II:  A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop, jointly presented by INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials and Hysitron, Inc., with co-sponsorship from the JEOL company. This is the second workshop in the Nanobrücken series.

Representatives from several countries have contacted the Local Organising Committee of ICTAM2012 (http://www.ictam2012.org/) to say that many of their colleagues had found it impossible to meet the deadline of 9 January, because it was too close to their countries’ winter holidays, and requesting an extension. The organisers therefore announce an extension until 24.00 hours (Beijing time) on Thursday 19 January, 2012, by which time all short papers must be received.

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to send you the updates on the 23rd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM2012) of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) that will be held in Beijing, August 19-24, 2012.

Dear Colleagues,

The International Conference on
Advances in Computational Mechanics (ACOME) aims to present recent
advances, novel techniques, the state-of-the-art developments and
applications in the field of the computational mechanics. 

The conference will be held at the Ton Duc Thang university, Ho Chi Minh City, from 14 to 16  August 2012.

We are pleased to inform you that the new (and last) deadline for submission of abstracts is January 15, 2012.

You are kindly invited to send us the abstract (and paper) of your presentation (download the template at the main webpage) at http://www.icacome.com/.

I am co-organizing a mini-symposium on « Computational damage mechanics of composite materials »  in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2012) with Dr. Gilles Lubineau at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dr. Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The mini-symposium welcomes contributions highlighting the critical role of virtual design and simulation in the development of advanced composite structures. Discussions held will cover a variety of topics, however the focus will be upon application-oriented problems through which simulation and modeling can provide real added-value with respect to pure experimental design approaches.

Dear Colleague,

Deadline for submission of abstracts extended to January 18th.

Abstracts can still be submitted to the ECCOMAS 2012 Mini-Symposium MS 102 "Multiscale Computational Homogenization for bridging scales in the mechanics and physics of complex materials", co-organizers : J. Yvonnet, M. Geers, K. Terada, P. Wriggers, until December 15, 2011.

Looking forward to meet you in Vienna

Dear Colleagues, We’re pleased to announce that the online
application for the Congress Support Grants is available now. For further
instructions on how to apply for the support, please visit
http://www.ictam2012.org.

ICTAM2012 will have at its disposal limited
funds to provide partial support to participants who are authors of an accepted
presentation, but unable to secure adequate funds from their home countries.
The deadline for receipt of the form is January 18, 2012. The decision on the
allocation of grants by the LOC, based on the recommendation of the
InternationalPapers Committee, will be made by May 1, 2012. 

ICTAM2012 Secretariat

Dear Colleagues,

The 23rd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
