Dear colleagues: 

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Topic 12-3: 3D Printed Soft Materials at the 2020 ASME  IMECE to be held from November 15 – 19 at Portland, Oregon.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, offers unique opportunities to explore novel properties and mechanics of soft materials. This topic calls papers from research efforts related to soft materials with novel properties realized or created using 3D printing techniques. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

Open PhD positions are available in the Materials and Mechanics Lab, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University. The research will involve multiscale modeling and characterization of the fracturing of carbon fiber composites. The desired start date is Spring 2021. 

The preferred qualifications for the position are:

Dear colleagues:

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the topic on Printed Hybrid Electronics, Sensors and Energy Devices at the 2020 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE 2020) to be held at Oregon Convention Center, Portland, Oregon from November 15-19, 2020.

We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work 18 months on a US Air Force sponsored project focused on developing new image-based tests to identify stiffness and strength of adhesives at high strain rates. Some preliminary results can be found here. The deadline for application is August 4th 2020. The advert is available here.

in recent years the technique of freeze casting has undergone tremendous development. New techniques and novel nanoscale building blocks have given rise to porous materials with extraordinary properties. As an example, by spinning freeze cast fibre with aligned pores fabrics with unprecedented levels of thermal insulation could be produced. This 

The relationships between surface roughness, contact pressure and contact resistance are studied in this work published three years ago.

It is imporant to distinguish between the different conduction mechanisms acting at contacts at different scales, in order to better understand how surface structure and surface chemistry can alter the behaviour of electrical contacts

Dear colleagues,

The USACM is happy to announce a virtual seminar this week on Thursday, July 9th at 3pm Eastern.  The title of the seminar is "Image- and Experiment-based Modeling of the Forgotten Right Side: Right Ventricle, Tricuspid Valve, and Venous Blood Clot".  An abstract of the talk is available here:
