The Fourteenth Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIV) will be held in Santiago, Chile from March 24th to 28th, 2014:
We invite you to submit an abstract on a relevant topic in Applied Mechanics such as: Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics of Solids and Fluids, Vibration and Dynamics, and Control, as described in the conference page
We would be pleased to have a contribution from you or from one of the members of your group among the presentations of the symposium entitled
COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS OF CELLS TISSUES AND BIOMATERIALS
organized within the joint World Congress on Computational Mechanics and European Conference on Computational Mechanics (http://www.wccm-eccm-ecfd2014.org/frontal/default.asp )
to be held on 20-25 July 2014 in Barcelona (Spain).
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position in the area of Solid Mechanics.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to
micro/nano-scale solid mechanics, mechanics of soft matter, mechanics of
advanced technologies, mechanics of materials for energy applications,
computational mechanics and multi-scale modeling, mechanics of friction and
adhesion, and transport-coupled mechanics.

Product Design (Job Code: ME-PDSK022013)
A postdoctoral research scientist position is available immediately in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University. This position is renewable (up to three years) depending on performance. The main responsibility of the project, sponsored by ARPA-E, is to perform computer simulations of crashworthiness of electric vehicles using finite element method. It also involves multiscale modeling of a new type of impact resistant lithium-ion battery, as well as structural design and optimization.
Dear All,
I want to calculate the limit of the fraction (J-1)/(1-2*nu) when material approach to incompressibility, where nu is the Poisson's ratio and J is the third invariant of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. In this case J->1 and nu->0.5, but I can't find any reference, how J depends on nu.
Intuitively, this limit has to be a finite value, as it is known that (J-1)^2/(1-2*nu) -> 0 (under the assumption that there is no hydrostatic pressure). Thanks in advance for any suggestions
The abstract submission is open from Oct. 1- Nov. 1, 2013, at http://www.mrs.org/spring2014/
