This monograph gives a complete overview on the subject of nonconservative stability from the modern point of view. Relevant mathematical concepts are presented, as well as rigorous stability results and numerous classical and contemporary examples from mechanics and physics.
The
Fourteenth Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIV) will be held
in Santiago, Chile, from March 24th to 28th, 2014, in collaboration with Universidad de Chile and Universidad de los Andes.
We are deeply sorry to report that Fred Leckie died on Friday, 14 June 2013, at the age of 84. A brief description of Fred's career is contained in the 2000 ASME Materials Division Newsletter, when Fred received the Nadai Medal.
Hi Everyone:
We wanted to make sure everyone knew about this symposium, tucked away under the nanotechnology category, for the fall 2013 MRS meeting. Abstracts are due soon. We expect a heavy mechanics component for this symposium.

The School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, Ningbo University, is looking for cadidates for all subjects in the broad field of mechanical engineering and mechanics. In addition to traditional field of impact and shock waves, piezoelectric devices, material durability, and metal forming, the school are also initiating new directions like vechicle engineering, fluid mechanics, occean engineering, and other related subjects.
Positions in ALL ranks are available. Currently we are taking applications for 2014 school year.

Dear colleagues,
I wanted to draw your attention to a paper published last year in PNAS
http://www.pnas.org/content/109/44/17874
where we analyze physical aspects of how euglenoids move
