Imperfections in Crystalline Solids
Wei Cai and Bill Nix, of Stanford University, have just published a new textbook Imperfections in Crystalline Solids. You can look at the first chapter at the website of the Cambridge University Press.
Modulating elastic band gap structure in layered soft composites using sacrificial interfaces
A wide range of engineered and natural composites exhibit a layered architecture whereby individual building blocks are assembled layer by layer using cohesive interfaces. We present a novel mechanism for evolving acoustic band gap structure in a model system of these composites through patterning the microstructure in a way that triggers non-planar interfacial deformations between the layers as they are stretched.
Nonlinear Mechanics of Surface Growth for Cylindrical and Spherical Elastic Bodies
This paper is dedicated to the memory of my friend Professor Bill Klug whose life was tragically cut short on June 1, 2016.
Two Tenure Track Faculty Positions (Assistant/Associate Professor), Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, The University of Alabama
The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics (AEM) at The University of Alabama invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in areas related to space/astronautics and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The successful applicant for the space/astronautics position will contribute to the department’s emerging space technology research thrust. The successful applicant for the UAS position will contribute to a University-led effort to establish an airborne/spaceborne remote sensing center of excellence.
A Nobel Prize worthy paper, unifying Mechanics and Thermodynamics with a mathematical basis
I highly recommend this paper to any mechanician who is familiar with the scientific efforst in the last 150 years to unify mechanics and thermodynamics. Sosnoskiy and Sherbakov and several others from the Russian Academy of Sciences listed in the Acknowledgemnsts have achieved it. Congratulations.

A Unification of the Concepts of Variational Iteration, Adomian Decomposition and Picard Iteration method; and a Local Variational Iteration Method
This paper compares the variational iteration method (VIM), the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the Picard iteration method (PIM) for solving a system of first order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A unification of the concepts underlying these three methods is attempted by considering a very general iterative algorithm for VIM. It is found that all the three methods can be regarded as special cases of using a very general matrix of Lagrange multipliers in the iterative algorithm of VIM.
