Electro-mechanical coupling bifurcation and bulging propagation in a cylindrical dielectric elastomer tube
This paper explores the critical and post-bulging bifurcation of a cylindrical dielectric elastomer (DE) tube undergoing finite deformation under electro-mechanical coupling loading. Explicit expressions for the critical conditions of electro-mechanical bifurcation are derived by using a simplified mathematical method. The post-bifurcation path is comprehensively investigated by specifying the material model as ideal dielectric elastomer.

Postdoctoral Position at UPenn : Finite Element Simulations of Cell-Matrix Interactions in Micro-tissues
*** This is a NEW OPEN POSITION - not related to any previous post ***
Ph.D. positions in the Max Planck-ETH Center for Learning Systems
The Center offers a unique fellowship program, where PhD students are co-supervised by one advisor from ETH Zurich and one from the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen and Stuttgart. PhD students are expected to take advantage of the opportunities offered by both organizations and to actively seek cross-group collaborations. All PhD fellows will register as graduate students at ETH Zurich and - upon successful completion of their PhD project - be granted a doctoral degree by ETH Zurich.

The Society of Engineering Science Establishes the James R. Rice Medal
On behalf of the 2015 Board of Directors of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new SES award: The James R. Rice Medal. The creation of the new award is motivated by the recognition that while several societies, including the SES, have young-investigator awards as well as others that primarily (although not exclusively) target senior scientists, there are relatively few that are suitable for those who are in the typical mid-career age of 40-55. The award, named after Professor James R.
Professor Christensen has published an interesting article in JAM
Professor Richard Christensen, Stanford University, has published an interesting article "Evaluation of Ductile/Brittle Failure Theory and Derivation of the Ductile/Brittle Transition Temperature" in the February, 2016, issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics. This paper provides a very unique approach to ductile/brittle transition. The pdf file of the paper is attached.
