Dear all,
I am a somewhat of a beginner. I only started self-studying continuum mechanics and finite element analysis last year. Nonetheless, I hope to solve a problem characterized by large deformations in a hyperelastic incompressible material, with the possibility of contact.
Comprehensive experimental work on magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) just accepted in Composites Part B as part of our European Research Council project 4D-BIOMAP.
We provide more than 600 magneto-mechanical tests on an extremely soft elastomer (~1-20 kPa). The results show material stiffening of ~200 times for axial compression and ~10 times for shear mode. In addition, we conduct novel experiments providing unprecedented magneto-mechanical rate-dependent couplings.
Dear Colleagues,
We wanted to alert you for the call for nominations of the awards of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), which are due on September 15th, 2021.

As a contributing author, you will benefit from:
I bring to your attention this opportunity at the University of L'Aquila.
Kindest regards,
Giuseppe
This paper, in press in Acta Biomaterialia presents a simplifiwed model based on a micro to macro description of the bone-implant interface, and the evolution of its stiffnmess at the local and the global scales as healing progresses. The paper is temporarily available at:
The Multiscale Mechanics and Multiphysics of Materials Lab (http://m4lab.unibs.it) at the School of Engineering at the University of Brescia, Italy announces a PhD fellowship on the subject of Modeling and simulations for next generation lithium-ion cells. The fellowship is fully funded by the m4lab in collaboration with the Austrian Research Center Virtual Vehicles (https://www.v2c2.at) and will last three years.
The postdoc fellow will work in Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), a division of Johns Hopkins University.
