It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

I am pleased to share some good news pertaining to one of our mechanicians...Professor Huajian Gao was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences: https://www.amacad.org/newly-elected-members.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2018 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.

I noted with interest the recent iMechanica blog entry regarding the fact that only a small minority of experimentalists are willing to share raw data. I was somewhat surprised. I instinctively felt that theoreticians and comptutational scientists would have a different attitude.

“Metamaterials” are the fabled materials exhibiting properties and functionalities that defy expectations. Or at least that's how I have always defined them to myself. These first emerged on the scientific scene in the nineties; or perhaps that is when an extensive flurry of activities on this subject can be traced to. The initial focus was on designing (what appeared to me as) composites with a specific geometrical inner structure that allowed the emergence of electromagnetic properties not typically seen in nature; such as negative refractive index.

This post is to remind IMECE Tampa attendees that in addition to the many exciting symposia that have been organized by mechanicians for Track 12---the following key events will also take place:

(1) Plenary lectures sponsored by Applied Mechanics Division, will be given by Professors Subra Suresh and Howard Stone, Tuesday morning, Nov 7th,  8-9:30am;

(2) Koiter Medal lecture, to be given by Professor Wei Yang, Tuesday afternoon, 5:30-6:30 pm, Nov 7th, Tue.
