Dear Colleagues,

I invite you to read our recent publication on Acta Materialia on the dynamic hardness evolution in metals.

I. Introduction

In this paper we formulate and solve the initial-boundary value problem of accreting circular cylindrical bars under finite extension. We assume that the bar grows by printing stress-free cylindrical layers on its boundary cylinder while it is undergoing a time-dependent finite extension. Accretion induces eigenstrains, and consequently residual stresses. We formulate the anelasticity problem by first constructing the natural Riemannian metric of the growing bar. This metric explicitly depends on the history of deformation during the accretion process.

Dear Colleagues,

Euromech Colloquium CELLULAR MECHANOBIOLOGY AND MORPHOGENESIS

Dear Colleagues,

It gives us great pleasure to announce the Euromech Colloquium “CELLULAR MECHANOBIOLOGY AND MORPHOGENESIS” to be held in Sirmione, Italy, 21-24 August 2023 (https://638.euromech.org/).

Jessica  Zhang, Alireza Tabarraei, Kathryn Maupin, and myself are organizing a mini-symposium on “Data-Enabled Predictive Modeling, Machine Learning, and Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Mechanics,” in the ASME IMECE 2023 (October 29 – November 2, 2023). The symposium solicits abstracts on novel scientific machine learning (SciML) and uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods a wide range of applications across science, engineering, and medicine.

Given the success of our KTH Computational Biomechanics Summer School last year, I'm pleased to inform that the registration for the 2nd edition is now open. Please find all information at

CIM (Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics) at Uppsala University in Sweden is recruiting PhD students for three of the seventeen projects announced. One of the announced projects are proposad by us to address elasto-hydro-dynamic analysis of architectured materials. If interested, please consider applying:

Dear Colleagues, 

I invite you to read our recent Extreme Mechanics Letters paper presenting a novel viewpoint on enhancing emissivity near exceptional point singularities in a non-Hermitian metamaterial. We present the experiments and numerical modeling in an elastodynamic framework--where the actuation forces from an actuator are enhanced by coupling to a passive dissipative non-Hermitian metamaterial--and present the theory further generalized and applicable to other physical frameworks from acoustics to optics and microwaves.

The lab of Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent matTEr (We-Xite) has multiple openings for Ph.D. positions. We are looking for exceptional and highly motivated candidates with background in Engineering, Physics, Materials or Mathematics. The research will have a balance between experimental characterizations (non-destructive evaluation of samples fabricated using additive and subtractive methods), numerical simulations (finite element modeling) and analytical derivations (nonlinear dynamics of spring-mass systems). Interested applicant should send a brief (one paragraph) description of their research interests and their resumes (including educational background, test scores and experience). Please send your emails to we.xite.group [at] gmail.com
