Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am co-organizing a mini-symposium entitled Mechanics of bio-inspired architected materials and interfaces within the “First International Conference on Materials, Mimicking, Manufacturing from and for Bio Applications” (http://biomm.org) with Gilles Lubineau (KAUST) and Pablo D. Zavattieri (Purdue University).

Applied Mechanics Division Banquet, Tuesday, 7 November 2017
It is a great honor for me to receive the Timoshenko Medal. In particular I am very impressed when I look at the names of those who got it before me. Many thanks to those who have nominated me, and to those who have selected me for this honor.
A PhD position or a Post-Doc position, depending on the candidate skills are available in the Department of Sciences and Methods fo Engineering at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. The research project is in the smart composite materials design. The candidate will have to design and optimize a composite structure with embedded SMA for morphing application. Candidates should have possibly a strong background in mechanics, finite elements simulations and smart materials.
We are delighted to announce that Alan Turnbull, National Physical Laboratory, UK will be joining our list of prestigious keynote speakers at the twelfth International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials. Alan Turnbull was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2011 and Fellow of the Royal Society in 2013. In 2016, he was awarded the OBE for services to science and industry.
The candidate will work in a project related with smart manufacturing of composite materials by injection/infusion techniques. The project will consist in a joint collaboration between Data Mining Research Group from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and IMDEA Materials Institute. The research activities will be focussed on the application of simulation techniques (computational fluid mechanics) to the optimization of manufacturing process of composite materials by liquid moulding, including the creation of a physical demonstrator.
Wrinkles have attracted a lot of attention in the fields of material science and engineering applications. And dielectric elastomer is a potential smart material which has advantages including large deformation, light weight, high energy density, quick response and et al. We try to use DE to make a wrinkle structure which is quick response and reversible easily.
