Title: Analysis of the effects of transfer and storage phases
on the behavior of bonded joints for SYLDA5 structures
Dear Colleagues:
We would like to invite you to submit a contribution to a minisymposium that we are organizing on Emerging Methods for Large-Scale Quantum-Mechanical Materials Calculations at the 12th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics, to be held July 22-25, 2013 in Raleigh, NC. This minisymposium aims to bring together leading researchers in this emerging area to discuss and exchange ideas on new methods developments for density-functional calculations, mathematical analysis, and applications of ab initio methods in electronic-structure calculations.
We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for the international symposium on Structure-Property Relationships in Low-dimensional Metallic Nanostructures at the MS&T'13 conference in Montreal, Quebec Canada on October 27-31, 2013.
NOTE: The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to March 31 at http://www.matscitech.org/
A single strand of polymer is a chain of a large number of monomers. The monomers are joined by covalent bonds, and two bonded monomers may rotate relative to each other. At a finite temperature, the polymer rapidly changes from one configuration to another. When the two ends of the polymer are pulled by a force, the distance between the two ends changes. The polymer is known as an entropic spring.
The Dept. of Aerospace Engineering at IIT, Madras has vacancies in the broad areas of Structural Mechanics, Aerodynamics, and Flight Mechanics and Control. For more details visit http://www.iitm.ac.in/faculty-opening. Last date: March 18, 2013.
