Yong Zhu, of North Carolina State University, will become the new Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club starting from Jan. 1, 2016. His research addresses basic and applied problems at the intersection of solid mechanics and micro/nano-technology, which has been recognized by a list of awards, including the 2015 ASME Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Award.

... We do not assume any of those words make any kind of sense, though we do make certain assumptions about how much time the reader has on her hands and what kind of sense of humor she has.
I urge you to read the rest of the dissertation.
A fully funded PhD studentship is available, the aim of the project is to design, manufacture and test a range of lattices on the micron to millimetre scale. There is scope for predicting the mechanical response such as strength, toughness and fatigue resistance of two inter-penetrating lattices with application to automotive crash resistance, for example.
Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) a 1st class degree (and preferably a Masters degree) from an Engineering or Materials background.
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS613) "Multiscale and Multiphysics Modeling of Nanomaterials in Biological Systems" for
12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics – WCCM 2016
Date & Location:
Seoul, Korea, 24 – 29 July 2016
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2015.11.008 Metallic thin-walled round tubes are widely used as energy absorption elements. However, lateral splash of the round tubes under impact loadings reduces the energy absorption efficiency and may cause secondary damages. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble and fasten round tubes together by boundary constraints and/or fasteners between tubes, which increases the time and labor cost and affects the mechanical performance of round tubes. In an
Dear Colleagues,
12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) and 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI) will be held will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, during 24 – 29 July, 2016. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent advances in modeling materials with coupled physics. Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)
The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington invites outstanding faculty candidates to apply for a full-time tenure-track faculty positions (9-month service periods) with the possibility of joint appointments in the two departments. We are primarily focused on hires at the rank of Assistant Professor although individuals with exceptional experience may be considered for higher ranks.
The School of Engineering at the University of California Merced invites applications for a tenure or tenure-track faculty position at all levels in the general area of Mechanical Engineering. Candidates with proven expertise in Engineering Systems for Agriculture in relation to energy, water, and agricultural automation are invited to apply.
