We are very pleased to announce the launch of a new journal in the field of mechanical engineering, Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis. This journal provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis and related Short Communications and will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practitioners in the field of engineering failure analysis and others who are interested in the ways in which components fail.
Young scientist Suganth Kannan presents his mathematical model at the International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis in The Hague, July 2012.

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Solids and Structures includes sixteen articles presented at the international symposium: Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams. The symposium was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (http://www.iutam.net) and was held at the University of Texas at Austin in May 8-13, 2011. The papers deal with various aspects of mechanical behavior of cellular materials and foams in particular, and represent the state of the art in the field.
In this 3rd issue of Elsevier's Authors' Update, we're bringing you top tips to develop your career, and tools to help you publish ethically. We've also got the latest news from the UN-sponsored programme Research4Life and a new report on the challenges facing US research universities.
