Silicon can host a large amount of lithium, making it a promising electrode for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.  Recent experiments indicate that silicon experiences large plastic deformation upon Li absorption, which can significantly decrease the stresses induced by lithiation and thus mitigate fracture failure of electrodes. These issues become especially relevant in nanostructured electrodes with confined geometries.

Dear Prof/Dr/Colleagues,

With great pleasure and respect to all Prof(s) and Dr(s),

It gives us great pleasure to announce regarding to a new monthly journal publication and online, in Multidisciplinary Sciences, IJFPS.

IJFPS is appreciating, if you submit one of your valuable papers.

IJFPS is your journal and expected to publish in JUN-2011.

IJFPS is hoping for your kind response.

IJFPS is waiting for your submission.

 Abstract:

 EUROMECH Colloquium
540

Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids

1-3 October 2012, Institute of Thermomechanics, Academy of
Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic

The EUROMECH Colloquium 540 intends to concentrate on topics
such as

Linear and non-linear waves in solids, waves in strongly
dispersive media, solitary waves.

Wave propagation in inhomogeneous materials and in materials
with microstructures.

Postdoc position in a  European project "Theoretical analysis, design and virtual testing of mechanical properties of titanium-based nanomaterials" will be available at the Materials Research Division, Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark.

Katia Bertoldi, of Harvard University, has graciously accepted our invitation to be Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. Katia has a knack to organize really interesting and inspiring symposia and workshops.  Here are two examples:

Extreme Mechanics: Elasticity and Deformation.

The New England Workshop on the Mechanics of Materials and Structures.
