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.

UGent-MMS is coordinating a 4-year research project on snap fit joints. Snap fit joints, also called snap-lock joints or clickable joints, are one of the most widely used connection types in all sorts of construction elements, automotive parts, medical devices and many more. Those joints are more and more important in the context of disassembly, recycling and repair.

Belgium has been taking a leading position in the transition towards a hydrogen economy thanks to many companies and research institutes active in hydrogen technologies. In addition, Belgium has currently the second largest hydrogen pipeline network in the world and has a strategic position in Western Europe as an import and transit hub for renewable H2 molecules.

would you be so kind as to give me some feedback on a draft version of a book which I intend to publish mainly for undergraduate students in Contact Mechanics.  I am author together with Prof. Antonio Papangelo and PhD student Riccardo Leonetti. If you are kindly available, please answer and I will send you the PDF. 
 
   Preface

dear Friends and Colleagues


I have been invited to write a review, actually a "Perspective" paper on Contact Mechanics from my personal point of view, which obviously reflects my own experience in my nearly 30 years of research activities. This is a sort of "celebration" therefore, and I would like to make it as simple, complete, and elegant and useful as possible.

Any comment therefore on this preprint would be greatly appreciated.
