[Call for abstracts] 3D Printed Soft Materials, ASME IMECE 2016
Dear Colleagues,
Please be reminded that this year IMECE runs with two abstract submission deadlines.
2017 ASME Congress invitation-Dynamic failure of advanced materials
Dr. Jun Xu and I organize one topic on “Dynamic failure of advanced materials (fatigue failure is included also)” for 2017 ASME Congress. Our keynote speakers include a senior program manager of US Office of Naval Research and a distinguished researcher of US Army Research Laboratory. We would invite you (also your colleagues and group members) to submit a short abstract before ASME’s deadline March 6. More details below:

Who should attend
Mechanisms of fatigue crack growth – a critical digest of theoretical developments
Improtance of modeling fatigue damage propagation is substantial given the ubiquity of fatigue-induced component failures across industries. A review of fatigue crack growth models along with a detailed discussion of recent experimental findings (substantiating the model assumptions) are presented (please see the pdf attachment below)
Recent advances in modeling fatigue cracks at microscale in the presence of high density coherent twin interfaces
Various outcomes of slip-coherent twin boundary depending on the stress state and slip geometry (during the growth of a microstructurally short crack)
Temporary Researcher Positions in Mechanical Engineering - University of California, Santa Barbara
The Department of Mechanical Engineering invites applications for temporary research positions in the Specialist, Project Scientist, and Researcher titles. This is a pooled recruitment, and appointments are subject to availability of funding and departmental needs, and may be part-time or full-time. Screening of applicants will occur as needed, for full consideration apply by March 2, 2016.
